“Mr. Strakosch’s second season here closes today with the matinee. His company leave for Philadelphia next week, and will take with them the admiration and good will of our opera-loving people.

The seasons of opera which have been given here under Mr. Strakosch’s direction have been enjoyed as thoroughly as any that we have had for several years. The combination of three such artists as Lagrange, Phillips and Brignoli is one rarely made anywhere or at any time, and the public have been ready to extend to them a deservedly liberal patronage. They will be warmly greeted on their return.”
