Boston OPERA House. 
The third week of the Aborn 
a Grand Opera Company’s season at the 
een Opera House, starting Mon- 
ay, April 10th, will be occupied by 
r Donizetti’ s master piece, “Lucia di 
Lammermoor.” With its pathetic 
story, founded on Scott’s tragic novel, 
e Bride of the Lammermoor,” and 
ts score so full of musical gems like 
the famous sextette, Lucy’s mad 
scene, Edgar’s final song at the tomb, 
d many other simple musical beau- 
fies of the familiar and rich Italian 
style, this opera after three quarters 
of a century of popularity, maintains 
as strong a hold as ever upon the af- 
fections of music lovers in general. 
_ Several important new arrivals to 
the Aborn forces will occupy promi- 
nent roles in “Lucia.” ‘The title part 
will be sung at alternate performances 
* Edith Helena, the noted coloratura 
soprano, whom the critics of other 
cities have named “The American 
etrazinni,” and Regina Vicarino, a 
young artist of Italian forbears, but 
a native of this country, who has 
been singing in grand opera in Cali- 
fornia with success, and who has 
vever before appeared in the East 
excepting a recent recital in New 
‘York. Eugene Battain, a tenor who 
as established himself as a favorite, 
ill share the role of Edgar with 
Domenico Russo, who was formerly 
with Hammerstein’s Opera Comique 
organization, The Lambardi, the San 
Carlo and other similar companies, 
and who will make his first bow with 
the Aborn aggregation. Of the pres- 
ent contingent, Harry Luckstone will 
remain for the role of Henry in 
“Lucia,” Herbert Waterous for 
‘Bide-the-Bent, Lila Robeson for 
Alice, George Crampton for Norman, 
Arthur Green for Sir Arthur, and 
Max Fichandler will conduct at all 
performances. 
No New Revision of B. & M. Mileage. 
An article in a Boston paper re- 
cently announced that the Boston & 
Maine railroad, had issued a new ta- 
ble of tariff and mileages, which has 
increased the distances between Bos- 
ton and many other places over the 
| system from one to three miles. 
Magnolia, which was formerly set 
- at 27 miles from Boston, was sched- 
| uled as 28 miles, and Pride’s Cross- 
ing also has gained a mile in its dis- 
- tanee from the Hub, going from 22 
to 23 miles. 
Essex Falls also suffers from an 
increase of distance from Boston, 
having gone from 27 to 28 miles. 
As a matter of fact, the revision 
was made in July last, some few 
stations being affected.
