The most reliable Musicai Agency in Xrrerica speaking of the late Queen Victoria's taste in music, "The World" newspaper of London says: Though it would be Idle flattery to pretend that the Quern has led the van of progress, it Is none the lees true that her influence has always been for good, and that to her latest days she showed an openness of mind and a catholicity of taste which were nothing less than astonishing. The last opera she caused to be performed at \\ In'lsor Castle was ¦ Lohengrin," and it is interesting to note that "Lohengrin" was one of the woriu the nrsl Ensllsh performance of which took place at Buckingham Palace during the life of the" prince contort. From the large list of similarly god- fathered works two more may lie mentioned as showing how good an example of enlightenment the court w.i? wont to set in the far ha - fifties Bach's "St. Matthew's Passion" and Schubert's Symphony In C. Indeed, during the prince con- sort's lit.- the best and most advanced mu*l: was to bo heard at the court, It was there that the national taste for choral music was first directed into channels wider than those wherein ft had teen travelling. Though the prince consort actually superintended th • court music in those day-, noth- ing was done without the Queen's sanction.

Features of the edition are a new translation into English by Dr. Theodore Baker and an introductory essay on the opera by Mr. Krehbiel. In this essay the history of the opera and Its first performances in Paris. London and New-York are discussed, besides the plot, its origin and some of the questions raised by the treatment of Goethe's story. The success of "Mißnon" was instantaneous In Paris, where it was first brought forward on November 17. I^o'i. Within six months it had one hundred performances at the Opera Comique. and before the year was over this num- ber was increased to 150. Its early vogue, which was also considerable In London and Xew-York, was due to Mme. Christine Nilsson who sang it in London for the first time on July 5. ISTO, and in New-York on November 21, 1871. Concerning some of the vicissitudes through which the opera has passed, Mr. Krehbiel writes as follows: The circumstances that the part of Frederic, quite Inconsequential originally, and played by a man. is in this, cast assigned to a contralto, Is an evidence of the changes that had taken place be- tween the first Parisian and the New-York pro- ductions. In London the part had been given to Mm.-. Trebelli, for whom the rondo-gavotte, "In veder l'amata stanza" was arranged from the entr'acte music preceding the secc nil act, and since then has always been sung by a contralto. For Mme. Volpini, who sang the part of Filina. also in London, a florid air, "Alerta Filina:" was intro- duced, but these changes were trifling compared with the transformations which the finale under- went. The form in which it i.« presented in this edition Is the first rearrangement of the original finale, and that followed universally now, so f::r as I have been able to learn. Lothario, reclothed in his right mind, sees his daughter Sperata in Mis- non. because of the iatter's recognition of the girdle which she wore as a child, her mother's portrait, and her recollection of th« childish prayer which she used nightly to utter. The scene then conies to a conclusion with an ensemble. Mignon, Wilhelm and Lothario rejoicing in the mutual un- derstanding finally established the musical founda- tion is the melody of the romance vf the rsi act based on a paraphrase of Goethe's "Kenr.st <!u das Land." Originally this s^ene was much more ex- tended. Mignon and Wilhrlm are happy in each other's arms, when the voice of Pilina fk.ats in at the window. Micnon pleads with Wilhelm to drive the siren away, and ¦':• two withdraw from the threatened presence. The scene change?. We are In the midst of a group of persons who are making merry. Filina is on hand, accompanied by the faithful swain. Frederic. She orders break- fast, and while it Is preparing sings a song In the measure of a forlana— an Italian dance in sextuple time, particularly beloved of the Venetian gondo- Hers, beginning "Pays ou signora." The mel- ody of this forlana, changed in rhythm, is yet to be heard in the coda of the overture. Mignon is shocked by the neartlessness of Filina. but the latter advances to her and offers her hand in friend- ship and congratulation, and graciously bestows herself upon Frederic. Enter a chorus of peas- ants, who acclaim Lothario as their old master, the Marquis of Cyprianl; and then general rejoic- ing. The nature of the finale constructed to humor the Pietat of the Germ has already been sug- gested. It is abrupt enough to please th most voracious devourer of penny dreadfuls. It pro- ceeds like the original ending up to the moment | when the voice of Filina is heard in a phrase of th.' : polacca, "Je suls Titanla." Mignon pleads that i she be driven away lest she herself die of grief. ; Wilhelm exclaims: "Mlgnon! Filina"; Lothario echoes with. "My Daughter!" Rut Mijenon staring fixedly at the actress, falls Into her lover's arms and expires. The thirty-fifth anniversary of the beginning of Rlnsky-Korsakow's career as a composer was cele- brated in Moscow at a concert of the Imperial Rus- sian Society in January. The composer conducted, and the evening was full of enthusiasm. There were wreaths and flowers ir great abundance, and addresses in behalf of the conservatory and the public. There will be a varied repertory at the Irvlnp Place Theatre this week. To-morrow night Guts- kow's 'Tr. Aeosta" will be performed. On Tues- day Otto Ottbert will have a benefit performance, and VDer HocSieltstag*' will have Its tlrst per- formance in America Besides the beneficiary the cast will include th.« Misses Ada M.-rito.

INQUIRY INTO WRECKING OF THE CITY OF RIO JANEIRO— CAREER OF SKILFULFORGER-RIVAL RACETRACKS. [BYTEt.EC.RAPn TO THE TRtBrNK.I San Francisco. March The inquiry into the wreck of the Pacific Mail steamer City of Rio Janeiro has elicited few facts of any value. The testimony is conflicting, but it is clearly shown that the unusually strong currents, due to heavy rains, carried the steamer out of her course, and that she did not have full steam on. Chief Engineer Herlihy was not at his post, and was the only one of the engineering force who escaped death. The experts say that had the vessel had a full head of steam on sac might still have been swept from her course. With only partial steam up. !t is no wonder she was swept nearly west to Fort Point, far out of the usual course of vessels entering or leaving the harbor. The confession of the life savins: guard. Ellingson. that he heard the signals of the steamer, but failed to turn in an alarm, furnishes the climax to the incompetency revealed by the inquiry. Ellinsson Is a stupid Norwerian. who had been so much laughed at for giving false alarms that he wanted to see a wreck before he reported it. This caution probably prevented the saving of half of those who went down in the disaster. It is doubtful whether the divers will be able to reach the Rio Janeiro, as the vessel lies in more than one hundred feet of water, and the current Is very swift. The escapades of the young Australian ex- convict who poses as "Sir" Harry Westwood Cooper, in forging checks and eloping with a young girl of Crockett. Cal., will probably land this rogue in San Quentln Prison for a long term of years. The fellow is well educated, handsome, of fine address and very skilful as a penman. He has a record in Chicago. Toronto and several other cities, where he has forged checks and married confiding women. Here three years ago he was planning large con- quests through forged checks, when he was ex- posed and sent to prison. He has only been out two months, yet In that time he managed to establish himself as a physician at Crockett, to forge documents from England showing he had inherited an estate worth £."2.000 and to elope with a young girl of Crockett. He was caught on an overland train at Ogden. and will be brought back here. The Supervisors have authorized the opening of fhe Ingleside racetrack, which is within the city limits, and the selling of pools on the races there for thirty-six days. This is a victory for the managers of the Tanforan track, which is to be closed up after a very short season, be- cause of the sharp practice of the Oakland race- track managers. The result will be that for a month and a half more the Oakland track will have ruinous competition, as the racing will be simultaneous on the two tracks. The Independent Gas and Power Company, of which Clans Spreckels is the head, has entered Into contracts for the construction of plant and mains. One contract is with the United Oas Improvement Company, of Philadelphia, for the Installation of a water gas plant of the ultimate capacity of twelve million cubic feet a day. The first section, of two million feet capacity, will be ready by the first of next year, and the plant will be enlarged In sections as the demand re- quires. The price will be $1 a thousand cubic feet or less. Colonel Olcott. head of the Theosophlsts. has received a cordial welcome here, where the so- ciety is very strong. He is to deliver several lect- ures in this city, and from here goes to San Diego, where, at Point Loma. the Theosophists have erected a fine building. Commander Herbert Wlnslow. of the hospital ship Solace, made a good deal of trouble this week for the customs officers, but In the end they overcame his opposition and searched the vessel, from which he barred them for three days. On the previous trip of the Solace Com- mander Winslow objected to a search, which resulted In bringing to light 1II cases of Chinese loot, that netted $3,000 in duties. Commander Winslow'S contention this time was that the vessel had been Inspected at Honolulu and passed, hence, as Hawaii Is American ter- ritory, there was no ground for further search. The Customs and Navy departments both over- ruled Wlnslow, and the commander was at last forced to allow the customs officials on board. The Intensely emotional acting of Mrs. Carter in "Zaxa" has crowded the Columbia Theatre all the week, and bids fair to draw large houses all next week. The attempt Of the Minnesota lumberman. Whtteslde, to secure half a million dollars for the Calaveras big tree grove has caused general disgust here, where It is known that the greater part of the giant sequoias are unlit for lumber. \Vhit> side boughi the Calaveras grove purely on speculation, expecting to coin a barge profit out of public sentiment. Th.' result of his greed will probably be that the government will condemn the property and have it appraised for a reser- vation. The State is willing to maintain the grove if it can be assured of a valid title-. An attempt was made this week by the San Francisco Stock Exchange to sell Its property in Pine-st. to the Producers' Oil Exchange for $300,000, one-third cash, but it was defeated, as one member. Charles Sontag, pointed out the folly of burdening the young exchange with a. heavy debt of nearly a quarter of a million dol- lars. A determined effort is to be made to rid China- town of the women slaves, who are bought and sold as in Canton or any other Chinese city. The United States District Attorney has been advised by the Attorney-Oeneral to lend his aid to the State authorities in the effort to stamp out the vile traffic. Bx-Vntted States Senator Stephen M. White. who died suddenly at Los Angeles, left an estate of $118.1100. His will, which was only six lines Ion?, left everything to his wife. . The feature of the stock market this week was the strength of sugar stocks, especially of Pat*- baau. Onomea and the others, which are to be united in one company. The reports from Hawaii fire good, and it is predicted that all the sugar sticks will advance in the next few- months. Two noteworthy sales of real estate were made this week. Balfour, Guthrie & Co. bought the lot and building at No. .".is California st . ad- joining their present quarters, for $80,000. The lot is only 24 by 70 feet. The northwest corner of Drum and Clay sts.. 7.~> by t!«»i... has been sold for $145,000. The second of Mr. Frank Damrosch's symphony !concerts for young people In Brooklyn will take place in the Academy of Music next Suturd .y afternoon.

The orchestra's numbers will be Schumann's overture to "Manfred," Beethoven's ••Heroic" symphony and Svond-eu's "Carnival in Paris." Concerning this last work the annotator of the programme .-ays: This composition Is, in a manner, a record of some Of the brightest moments in the composer's life. It contains the impressiona of his sojourn in Paris. where he sp»-nt a year as an orchestral violinist, and where, afterward, he met the American woman who became his wile i;i New- York in 1871. Svend- t>en comiio.-nl the "Carnival"! a few months after his marriage, under the Inspiriting influence of friendly Intercourse with Wagner during an ex- M.. visit to Baireuth. Five years later. In 15... he published :t as op. I. The composition has a tri- partite division— a brilliant allegro eon :,rio. a mid- dle movement (moderalo) of idyllic charm, in which divided Btrins* are exquisitely employed, and a dashinK finale, in which all the themes of the pre- ceding movements are Ingeniously combined. .
