I have seen, with really fegret, a card emanating from another theatre, wilfully intended to injure my business with the opera. I have hesitated what course to take, understanding little the great public enter into m&uageriaf squabbles, but the advice ot very many friends with whom I have con- ws the Cpe Lets rey covered 33; r a transparent effort after the sympathies o: the public, being the third or fourth attempt, has ~ toon igre ep —_ | sta‘ement £0 as opera is concerned, an: a simple question of facis as to myself.

I dislike this sort of Spe A I got on sufficiently well without it, am to sep. my promises and preserve my faith with the public; that is eu: tforme. But when this attempt to injure my business is made, not once but over and over again it pro- vokes me, and I may say something hasty—al- ‘waye responsible for what I do say. 1f, as the card says, the opera company has not kept faith with the public, then what es- pecs business is it of this manager just nowt ‘as he not advised the public by card at the time it occurred? Cannot the public look after ifs own disappointment? We will coma presently as to who is responsible for that dis- appointment. tis clear the card is published not because the public has been aggrieved, but pnd to injure the business of the Opera at this < Upon the occasion of my giving some operatic Mutinees in the early part of the season, this eame trick was undertaken. Announcement Was made by %dvertisement and notices that the Max Maretzek troupe from New York had been engaged &nd was very shortly to appear. This was done to forestail my business with the matinces and injure it. I knew he was uot engaged by. the other theater. He has not appeared during the five months which have since elapsed, nor is he now engaged. ho is responsible to the aggrieved public in this case? I contented myseif then,as I wish I might now, with simply announcing what I knew tobe a fact, that the opera of «« Martha” would be by me presented ina more con plete manper than any opera had hitherto ben given in this city, and pietes bere possi- baits caries the season, would it be better pre- sented. Now, the members of the late German Opera trou; ts, chorus, orchestra, and at- tsches—were under salary, which, just before they were to have come here, they failed to re- ceive. They had no assurance that their eale- ries would be paid them while here, by their manager, and they did uct come. Were they to blame? Certaimly not. Their services were io the greatest possible demand. They could not aiford to lose their salaries, nor to run the riek; +o they hesitated. Promptness, energy. with alittle money, would have broughtthem. The announcements had already s Id two thousand and three hundred dollars worth of tickets here before Saturday night. Such a response to an advertisement never was before known in this city, s&ve for the Sanitary bene- fit, at my theater. Why were not these artists brought here, if not Monday, at least Tuesday? No: the entirely innocent parties, who were oblighed to take care of self and family, wer implicated, and the sympathies of the publi were asked for 3 substituted entertrinment, The members of the opera company were eagerly snapped up by Max Maretzek, who gu: two bassos ind a partofthe chorus and or cbhestra, (which has every where borne the rep- viation of being the finesi ever ccagregated in America.)

Learning of the extraordinary sales of se- cured seats for the operas announced aud from every musician, publisher, and manager with whom I have conversed, that this opera troupe contained more talent and worth than was «ny where else to be found, and was sure, with proper management to be a great success, Lam the individual who “has saw” fit to gather them together again from the West, from the East, from Grau, from Pittsburg, from Maret - . from Gottschalk, and from New York. I have brought ibem on by special cars, and in- tend to give poe here. I do sincerely regret that my interest and my desire to stand correct with this public comps! me to this course, but, as Iam in for it, 1 may as well finish. The party of thecard “will not, although advised by a legal gentleman that he has power, tS the occasion of another dis- appointment by legal proceed! iy” ete. ‘bout 8 year ago, after I had givea the en- ture receipts of my theatre for & night, yielding six bon dollars, to the sufferers by the burning of a theatre in this city, Mr. Rogers, my stage manager, took 2 bene! Throuch the advice of a in the confidence of ths dramatist who was in the employ ot theman- ager of the burned establishment, he announced for performance a sort of drama entitled, « Horseshoe Robinson.” At night, just before the curtain was to ring up, I was served with 3 notice by another bp be of this manager, that I would be proscecu for infringing the copyright law if the piece was played. Iapol- of ized to the audience witout, in any manner, dvcuipating the manager referred to, by re- grete that he « had saw fit” ¢f cetera, and sub- stituted another play. The copyright law is a just ove, avd should not be infringed. The eneficiasy, Mr. Rogers, was responsible for announcing the play. But the manager here referred to subsequently boasted to several persons that he purposely withheld his notice, to be just in time to cause greatest trouble, and lend to greatest disappointment.
