"'A new tenor in "The Girl of the Golden West." Appearance of Mr.M.J.Arkwright at the Boston Opera House to-night.

Owing to the sudden illness of Dubassi, who was to have taken the part of Johnson tonight, an exceptional opportunity has come to a young tenor singer, one of the most promising pupils at the Conservatory school.

Arkwright is said to have a fine voice, a particularly good stage presence, and a purity of tone and smoothness of execution that few of his age and experience can show.

Only a short time ago he appeared as the duke at one of the popular-priced Saturday night performances of "Rigoletto"; and his extraordinary success on that occasion, coupled with his familiarity with, and fitness for the part of Johnson in "The Girl of the Golden West," led to his being chosen to take Dubassi's place to-night.

His performance is awaited with the greatest of interest.' Now isn't that splendid for Mary Jane?
I'm so glad!" beamed Aunt Hannah.
"Of course we're glad!" cried Billy.
