My offer was not accepted, and I am in the dark as to the renson for their rofusal to come. ¢ Reporter—Thoy rofused to go to Cincinnati also, did they not ? Mr, McVicker—Yos. They woro to have been at Cincinuati this woek, Jool wont thero and looked around ; thinga looked blue, and Marotzok decided not to go there. He como here and told mo thero was nothing at Cincinnati, Bhortly after his arrival ho got a tolegram from Ioss of tho English Opora Company who assumed that Ly giving up Cincinnall, they Intonded to give up Chieago. Hoss wanted their timo. Had Jool coneonted, wo conld have mado arrangements ‘and had tho English opora bere, but he would not give up, aud T conld not mako him do it. Thingslooked bright Tiore, and Jool was in good spirits, advertised freoly, nnd seomed to think thoy would have o good soason.

Itold him ihat ho was foolish to take that view so carly; that you couldn’t always judge by an advanco enle; that tho advanco salos for Miss Qushman's Miss Noilson's scasous had boon slow, but still, their ongagements had boen brillinut and successful, and that he must not bo guided by it. He bacsmo vory despondont. In the aftornoon T bogan to feel anxious nbont the mattor, foaring that they would not coma, I told him, whon he firat cama hero, that the prices were too high; but lio said thoy could not make thém ony lces; that they woro undor a contraok with Lucca, and that sho bound them to £4 I told him they ought to go to hor and tell her they -couldn't falfill the contract, aud make hor take less, On Thursday afternoon I mado him an offer, Tho opora people aro continually talking nbout their immense expenses, and they magnify them. My oxporience ensbles mo to approximate thelr expeneos, and enablos mo Lo Imow what rigk to take. T offered them $10,000 a week, but thoy wouldn't take it. They said it wouldn't pay them. I then offered tolet thom tako $10,000 beforo I took o cont for my rent, If thoy didn't recoive £10,000 I was to have no ront. Thathad no effect. This was in abeyanco two days. Still thoy wouldn't sny they wouldn't como Yestorday (Friday) X told Joel I wouldn't Do trified with sy longor, and withdrow my offer. I told him in tho first place I would talle the opora on my own shouldors, and fix the prices at doublo my dramatio prices, $2.50, 82, and £1, ond that I could play to $20,- 000 o wook at thoso rates. That would have paid them and mo too. s Roporter—Whon did you learn that they would not come ? e Alr, MeVicker—Thoy didn!t say thoy wonldnot come until thia afternoon at 4 o'clack, Jool had received a tologram this morning from “Mavot- ek, tolling him to make no moyo till ko Loard 1rom him, At 4 o'clock he camo in with o tole- grom saying ho would not come. I don't Lknow the cause of their rofusal; I conld only assume it. 1told bimnot to let money stand in the way, Ididn't wish Ohiengo to sufferin reputo- tion, by tholoss of the opera, for what Liad oc- curred in New York, Wo wanted tho opera Lere. P Roporter—Do you think the prices asked too high? My, McVicker—Well, the public are to blame for tho prices. Thoy worship tho operatic god, and will pay anything asked. This was ovie dencod during tho last Luccs season, On her nights the receipts wore $4,000, 5,000, and 6,000, whilo on the Kollogg nights thoy wero betweon $700 and’ $1,600 ; while tho Intter is an acknowledged artist, but ehe was not the goddoss, If Patti wos snnounced to-morrow, and the prico fixed at $10, the house would ba full, 1 ompty.
