Adelina Patti has sailed for Europe, accompanied by her husband, taking with her as a result of her recent tour the sum of $210,000 in good American cash. This is her share of the receipts of forty concerts given since last November in the principal cities of the United States and Canada. According to her contract with Robert Grau, Patti was to have given sixty concerts, but it was lound that there were not sixty cities in which money enough could be taken in to pay the $5,000 the diva demanded for each appearance. The experiment of repeating was tried in a few places, but the second farewell did not attract, so the tour was cut short. The last concert was given at Hot Springs on March 8 and Patti returned to New York immediately, to catch the first steamer for her home in Wales. She announced before leaving that she had not yet made her real, genuine farewell, but that she will sing at Albert Hall in London. It is scarcely likely that she will ever revisit America. In a great many places on her tour her singing was criticised In the harshest terms, and the only pleasant reminder she will have of her trip is the substantial addition to her bank account Mies Elliotts Dramatic 8chool.
