Not that the au- dience was large, the house being only moderately filled—and oh me! I fear for the fate future season in San Francisco! But this is a Verdl constitu- ency. For long years the old Italian maestro has had the musical freedom of the town, and everything he has written goes, willy-nilly and without question. | And I mean nought of disrespect by this to the grand old man of Italy, who has linked the past and present of Itallan cpera in his own person, and written best what he has last written.” But it is suffi- clent that Verdi's name heads the pro- gramme to insure an inevitable enthusi- asm in San Francisco, no matter what the opera For one thing Italian opera is a sort of encore-made-easy affair, the high note the cue, and one must be stupid indeed not to be able to win some small, inexpensive lory at least once in an evening by lead- ng ‘the palm symphony. It is different with Wagner—most things are different with Wagner—but the is not in u “rounded period"’ evidence and applause is a | finicking quantity with neither high note nor tonic to guide! Therefore the com- parative ease of applausk between last evening and Tuesday evening with “Tana- hauser” for temptation is no sure crite- rion of enjoyment, especially when the vigor of the Damrosh curtain calls is re- | membered. We had Mancinelli on the stage, too, at the end of the Nile scene, by long odds the finest part of the performance. The Italian conductor is a master of his work, handling the huge orchestra and chorus with supreme skill and utmost eaze. He has rather an amusing air of mild wonder the e siasm of the populace—as i | Jo-Night. s AME ourorT. Puotes e TWO ARTISTS WHO SANG AT THE THIRD NIGHT OF THE GRAND OPERA.

Much dramatic_power has Imbart de la Tour, Radam for the nonce, and a ro- bust tenor voice, not alwaye smoothly managed nor always quite in‘tune, but he rises to a fine climax and is a very suf- ficlent. Radam Plancon has a rare vojce. a vibrant, regnant voice, and a magnificent presence, which showed to fine advantage in the splendid robes of Ramfis. And how he does sing! Amonasro is undertaken by M.. Scotti, and a noble barbarian he is. He has a good barytone, warm-blooded and of dra- matic timbre; but it is not very even in production-and has a certain roughness of fiber, which latter quality, however, seems to suit the role. He has his moments of dramatic intensity, but the Amonasro is, CORINTHIANS ARE TO HONOR “BILLY” HYNES Yachtsmen Will Fill Eighty Seats at the Orpheum Theater To- | Night.
