3He wrote an opera, words and music, in two acts, founded on a story by F. von Holzhausen in the Fliegende Blätter, and named this opera "La Fata in prigione." Taking this elf one night to the Dal Verme Theatre, Composer Thomas confided his charge, this newly born "Fata," to the care and tender mercies of a very poor company there for public presentation. "La Fata" was discovered by the Milanese public in such mediocre society at the Dal Verme that she caused her creator to blush and that sealed his fate. With this work, therefore, the composer scored a brilliant and successful failure.
5To-day is the anniversary of the death of the "grand old man" in music, Giuseppe Verdi, whose memory will be celebrated in many ways throughout Italy. At the Scala Theatre to-night will be given the Verdi "Messa da Requiem"; earlier in the day a conservatory concert of Verdi music will take place, and other commemorations are contemplated. All of which will be considered in my next letter.

9Ovation to Sara Anderson.
11SARA ANDERSON, who left New York on the 7th inst for a Western trip, will not return until the 22d. Her reception everywhere has been most enthusiastic. In the city of St. Paul, Minn., Miss Anderson made her first appearance on the 11th inst. After her first aria there was a thunder of applause, spontaneous and genuine. After her second number, a group of songs, the audience, besides applauding with hands and feet, indulged in shouts of "Brava," which was only intensified after her next group. But after the last number of the program, which was a work for soprano and chorus, the audience knew no bounds. They arose in their seats, the men waving their hats and women their furs. Miss Anderson appeared again and again, and it was some time before the hall was finally cleared. In Minneapolis the following night these scenes were re-enacted. To-night finds Miss Anderson in St. Louis, from whence she returns East to take part in the Philadelphia celebration at the Academy of Music on the 21st and 22d.
