The theater wae the Holborn in London and I was cast for the part of Tom Tug in Dibdin’s operetta, ‘The Waterman.' The part has excellent opportunities for the singer and I had been warmly received until the moment arrived when Tom is rejected by his sweetheart and makes his exit with the pathetic song, ‘“Then Farewell, My Trim-built ‘Wherry,' the last line “being 'some fricudly ball shall lay me low.' As I made my exit, backing off the stage and looking at my sweetheart with a woeful expression of doep despair at my rejection, 1 encountéréd a heavy, rustic chalr, placed in the wing, I rather fancy by design, and the result whs that I turned a back somersualt over the chalr and when I arose with a bruised und humiliated feeling 1 heard the audierue sliterally screaming with laughter. 1 regfdt 1o say that since I left the grand opera repertoire and sang in comic opera I have aften renewed my as- soclation with the circus.” Mr. Carleton returns [or his summer sea- son in Omaha with the highest praises from the leading cities on the Pacific coast.
