The bell is in the custody of a councilmanic committee from Philadelphia.

A AMUSEMENTS PAGLIACCI' and 'Cavalleria Rusticana' Well Presented People of this city are everlastingly indebted to Manager Chauncey Hand for securing the performances of grand opera for the last two days. It has been really grand opero.

No details have teen absent, hut in the three presentations of different operas the traditions of the classic stage have been faithfully preserved and corscientiously interpreted. may be said truly that the climax was reached perore a big house last night in the second part of the double Pagliacci." If "Aida" on the preceding night had delighted even the most exacting critics, the little opera in which Caruso is so great favorite surpassed even the liveliest anticipations, as it completed the brief at this time. From the lovely prologue to the finale in its tragic words, "The comedy is ended," the production was given with fidelity the highest art in music. The chestra, directed by Guerrieri, wa's superb in its work throughout the splendid performance. The cost for "I Pagliacci" brought out several singers who had not been heard previously.

The "Nedda" was Miss Sophie Charlebois, and in every way she took the role as if it had been created her. The "Nedda" lost night, her willful lightness of action and character, was made more than ordinarily effective by Miss Charlebois, especially in her dainty eighteenth century -costume in the second act, when she looked like a Watteau or a Boucher picture, and sang with an abandon that thrilled her listeners. One of the most impressive facts in connection with the San Carlo Grand Opera company, is that the members can act. There are no sticks in the various casts that have appeared. In truth the acting of Mary Kaestner as Santuzza, no less than as "Aida" would have dwarfed her singing had her voice been less wonderful in its compass and power.

The same was true of Miss Charlebois in her role last evening. Agostino as "Canio" gave a tremendously compelling delineation of the morbid, brooding husband, frenzied with jealousy. dramatic pawers and his voice made a great combination. the Harlequin, and Battistini's "Silvio" were up to the high standards of the other soloists. Luigi Dellamolle made a hit with his rendition of the famous "Prologue" and for his later excellent work.

With a rich and carefully trained voice he brought out the full merits of a very prolific role. The "Cavalleria Rusticana," with its ever popular Intermezzo and its cloyingly sweet harmonies of orchestration, was a delight, chiefly because of the orchestra's fine work.
