The first production of Verdi's op era "Othello" took place at Milan, and nil the prominent musical critics of Hu ron foregathered In the Cathedral City In honor r.f the occasion Among them was n Parisian Journalist of wide reputation mid admitted authority In the musical world, tils llrst care on his arrival In Milan was to seek out Verdi and ask to be nllowed to be pres ent at on of tlie II mil rehearsals. The coinioser received him with ex treme politeness, but replied thnt he could uej iMMslbly grant his request, as he had decided that the rehearsnls were to be absolutely prlviwe, and he could not make an exception In the fa vor of any one Journalist, however dis tinguishes!. Tlie I'arls critic, far from plencd at this answer, protested that In these circumstances his account of the oitern might not lie all he should like It to be. "You see," he explained lo the coinoer. who affected not quite understand, "1 shall have to telegraph my aitlcle the Miine ot'enlng. It will tiecewwrlly be hastily written, and the Impression In I'arls the lien day tuny Slllfer in coliequullce." Hut Verdi was more than equal to the occasion. "My dear sir," he made answer. "I do not write for "the next day.' " The critic bowed himself out t'llllilnu nn Aurralir.
