The costumes were magnificent, entirely the most elegant ever shown here. The full City Orchestra led by Prof. Wurm furnished music for the occasion. your instruments surpass that expec tation. Such a pure, sympathetic, musical quality of tone, so much in accord with the voice, I did not hope for. Your cases are most elegant, and the touch pleasant and agreeable.
