I (The preparations for "the greet musical event of the year are now about complete, and to-morrow night Music Hall, the magnificent lft of oar honored eltlsen, Reuten K. Springer, will present such scene as has never been witnessed lu this conntry. CREDIT TO WHOM CREDIT 18 DUE. To Colonel George Ward Nichols, President ot ths College of Musis, the author and orig-lnator the great Way-Festivals, which have made oar city famous, and a man who, though much abused and wrongly ridged, has never swerved from that line of dnty which conscience told him was right, is due greatly the success of tba wonderful enterprise, the pleasures of which thousands of people will this week enjoy. The idea of giving "Grand Opera" as It was never given in this country orizinated with Colonel jtflcbota.

He foresaw the prejudices that would be against! htm, the obstscles he would have to overcome, and the great flnan- clal risks that, would be Involved In an enterprise, and calmly went to work to overcome all difficulties. His plsns were laid away back In the summer of 1880, at Which time a correspondence was commenced With Colonel J. H. Mapleson. Having laid ut the ground-work of the project and ma-tared his plans, they were placed before the Board ot Directors ot the.

College of Music, Who are men of sound Judgment, and who exercise great discretion In all they do. The feasibility of the enterprise was at once apparent, although they were amazed at its magnitude and grandeur. The scheme -involved a rlsK of nearly 50,000, yet, such was "their confidence In Colonel Nichols and his ability to bring about success in any thing he undertook, that bis plana were Immediately and unanimously spproved, and he was Instructed "to go ahead." To give In detail the work of Colonel Nichols, in accomplishing greet result which we will this week take delight In witnessing, would occupy a volume. He bss been opposed in many ways and harassed and annoyed on all aides; but, confident that his csuse was good and that the people would finally indorse him, he has not been discouraged and quietly proceeded with the great work, until now he realizes a perfect coasummailou. THE RESULTS.

The result, though great, yes, wonderful, may be summed up in a few words. Music Hall, the grandest building of the kind in America, lias been transformed into a beautiful theater. In aixe ot stage, in seating capacity, in scenio effects, and in all the singe surroundings and properties, but one other theater in the world compares with our grand MnsicHall as it stands to-day reany for the reot events of the coming week, ann that is be La Seal at Milan, Italy. Prejudices have been overcome, and it Is the universal verdict that the "work is great and its results pon the community will be beneficial." artistically the result ean hardly be understood. Music by ttie greatest of living and feed composers will be given on a scale of grandeur never equaled, and that even the authors themselves never fl reamed of.

Mozart, rtoDisetti, Kossini, Bellini, Gounod, Verdi, Wagner and Boitu will be interpreted by the treatest living singers, and the chorus and rchestra will be the largest and best ever beard In the country. Thousands of strangers will be brought to our city by the great Festival, and hundreds of thousands of dollars Will be left In the coffers of our hotels, restaurants and merchants, and last but not least Cincinnati, the proud Queen City tbe West, will again be known throughout tbe land as the promoter of ail good things, as the city of art and music, ae well as the city of great enterprise, musical, artisbe and commercial. THE ClTIZEMl' COMMITTEE. Colonel Nichols found that his scheme, like the snow-ball, as It moved along grew larger and larger. It assumed such proportions that en man and one brain could not successfully manage It.

Bo he called to his assistance a Bomber of prominent citizens. The response Was genuine, hearty and unanimous. Nearly all the gentlemen whose names we give below were present at the first meeting, and as-slated in the organization of what they designated "Tbe Citizens' Committee of General Arrangements." This Committee was divided Into Bub-Committees, and the gentlemen have all been diligent, hard and enthusiastic Workers In the "cause." Mr. A. H.

Bugher Was elected Chairman of the General Com-snlttee, and he has given the business con-awe led with ths enterprise his constant and pndivlded attention.

THE SCENERY.

He esuate to our country from London expressly superintend this 'great work, and states fast In his experience of a lifetime asa scenio rust ne nss never attempted or seen an en tat prise of such magnitude. About sixty Banes In all have been painted In the In-BBsilibly short time of two months.

Mr. Fox mmm bu a Die aaeiatanta. Mr. Kettle, a young few ot this city, pnpll of the School of De-Sign, baa distinguished himself in his work for the festival. The immence and beeotiful drop-curtain and the entire snlam front were nslnted hr him I ander bis supervision.

It was found lv tr. Fox that his corps of assistants could not ah the work in the time given, and Messrs. sreky and Tryon, two talented young scenic tlsta. were Imported from Chicago te "heln art."

Tha work ot erecting the stage, placing the drops, scenery, border lights and gas-fixtures had to be done In a very few days, and that all this is now In a finished state la most creditable to Messrs. Reeder, Lee Cannon and James A bel, the stage carpenters In chance. They ere experienced men la tha building of theaters.

Mr. Reeder baa tha contract, and called to bta assistance Messrs. Cannon and Abel. Mr. Reeder la one of the most experienced stage carpenters In the country, and now nas charge of the stage at Pike's Opera-house.

Mr. Lee Cannon formerly lived tn Cincinnati, but Is now a resident of Chicago. He came here especially to assist In erecting the stage at Music Hail for Che great Opera Festival. He built tbe Opera-house at the Soldiers' Home In Dayton, Ohio, which some mouths ago was destroyed by lira: also tbe new one which has arisen from tbe aabea, and Is now ana-aged in building Buch waiter' Opera-house of Springfield, Ohio. Mr.

James Abel Is well known in tola city, where he has resided a lifetime. He was the etage carpenter at tbe la National Theater for years, the "properly man" at Wood's and at other theaters. TO MESSRS. ABEJL AKD CAKSiOSf The Enquikir young man Is Indebted for much of his information in regard to the stage work that has been done. He was escorted by these gentlemen from tbe floor of the stage through the "fly gallery" and "rigging loft" to under tne dome or roof of the immense ball, where are placed tbe Iron rods and pulleys from which the vast sea of scenery hanas, BTAXBIEO IJf THE "RIGOIXO-IyOVT" And looking down on the stage, ninety feet below, the carpenters and men at work appeared miniature in size, and their voices sounded hollow and faint, The myriads of ropes and pulleys would confuse and confound a Philadelphia lawyer, and how the men who will have charge of tbe "fly gallery" and "loft" will ever be able to tell which set of ropes move tbls scene or tbat la a mystery to the writer.

In all theaters ths scenes move In grooves on tbe floor. This plan could not be adopted at Musie Hall, as tbe stage and proscenium had to be erected temporarily. It was found necessary to adopt some other plan for moving tbe scenery, and It was determined to raise it from tbe floor by ropes on pulleys. Tbe great apace of nearly one buntdred feet from the floor of tbe stage to the aome would allow of this. Long iron rods were securely riaMi above the ceiiine over tne stage, ana at such Intervals aa was necessary strong pulleys were placed.

Over these pulleys run tbe ropes that raise and let down the Immense scenes, drops and border lights. The plants a very simple one. Tbe rope used is tbree-qoarter-incb raanila. Three ropes are required to raise each seccne. and are sixty scenes.

One rope is attached to each, end of the scene and one in the center. They are called the "prompt line" and P. line." The ropes are faatened to huge beams in the ny gaiiery," irom wnicn piace luey are worked by the men In charge. Over fifty thousand feet la used In raising the scenery, drops and lights, or ABOUT TEX MIXES OF ROPE. To Kive some Idea of the magnitude of the affair and the work, in addition to the state ment above, it may be Interest! nit to Enow tbat over one hundred and fifty thousand yards ot canvas have been used in the scenery.

Tne ropes are fastened around strong pegs, and each lot of ropes is called a "stack." There are aixty stacks. Four men win be requirea to nanaie eacn i'ntacit oi ropes." Tbey will stand in tbe "fly gallery," wnicn la twenty-six reet irom tne noor. tbe scenes should once "get away with ttiem" they could hardly escape being literally torn to pieces. Tlf THE "FLT OALLIRT" Is also placed tha immense curtain -drum over which rolls tbe rope that manipulates the curtain. This drum is three feet in diameter, or about one-third larger than is generally used.

The Academy of Musio In Philadelphia has the only curtain-drum that compares in size with the one at Musio Hall. The "curtain-barrel" over which tbe curtain rolls la the largest ever made In the country. Two men will be necessary to handle tbe curtain. When the scenes are pulled np out of aight there still remains a opace of ten feet between the top of the scene and the "rigging loft." Tbe border lights are flexible, and move up and down on pulleys, like the scenes. Tbe gas is supplied oy ruooer pipes, in regsra to toe stage.

We doubt very much if Her Malestv's Opera Troupe, or any other opera troupe, was ever provided with as comfortable and nicely lurnisnea areniDz-rooms aa nave oeen arranged at Music Hall for the Opera Festival. Ten large, roomy and delightfully pleasant rooms have been erected for the principal singers. These rooms are located in the corridor at the extreme west end of tbe building, Just beck ot the big organ.

These are all carpeted with new and clean carpets. Mirrors and wash-etands are provided for each room, as well as double gas Jets at the dressing cases. The rooms assigned to Gerster, C'ary, aiieria ana iseiocca are nitea np nicety, ana can not fall to please these noted singers. It is certain that there will be no auarrelinz about rooms among the prime donne. THE CHORUS, BALLET AMD SUBORDINATES Of the Mapleson 1 troupe (will occupy dressing-rooms at the west end of the south corridor.

The orchestra rooms are at tbe end of tbe corridor. The Cincinnati members of the chorus will occupy spacious and delightful rooms on tbe second floor." The ladies of the chorus will enter the stage from the south side of tbe hall, and tbe eentlemen from the north side, The principal singers, male and female, will enter the stage from the doors at either side of tbe big organ. reliable watchman will nave cnarge ot me dressing-rooms.

Sev eral of the contrivances are or a novel fash ion, and made especially for tbe extraordinary requirements ot this mammoth stage. Every light upon tbe stage has been covered with the finest wire-work to prevent fire, and when lighted will make tbe stage aa light aa day. THE CHOEl'8, There was a man stage rehearsal of eh orris on both Friday night and last night.

On both occasions Siicnnr Ardltl, Conductor of the build Bignor Arditi Is about the size of Otto Bineer. Mr. Dubruel. the chorus director and stage manager of the Mapleson Company, was also "on nana." mere were some oeiecix noticeable on the part of the chorus, but they can easily and correctly te attributed to a feel i uk of timldltv natural to sineers havincr a new director, and especially one aa famous as Araiu. Tbat tbe chorus will fulfill all requirements this week there can not be a doubt.

Mr. Otto Singer baa been a faithful laborer with the chorus as well as a competent Instructor. His last was not a small one, out, witn I he patience which is characteristic of the man, he nns worked conscientiously and performed his duty well. If the chorus acts awkwardly the' blame must be attached not to tbe members, but to tbe "management," which did not rcoulre or ask of them staze rehears als nntil the oast few evenlnss. To Mr.

Chaa. J. Coleman, the Buperlntendent of Chorus, too, must great cretin ue given, rne position he occupied bss not been an enviable one. But he baa been faithful, enthusiastic and- Industrious, and bore the many complaints with the patience and fortitude of a hero. We have no fear of the chorus.

OPERA fOTT.WrH- The all-absorbing tbeme among the ladies just now is, -wnat snait wey wear at tne up- fesuvaiT" we respectfully submit the following suir treat Ions: In New York City, where the Italian Opera mm viywr uaa oeen at its neignt, opera toilets mad of tbe Persian brocades are the moat conspicuous. In these costumes it was noticeable tbat mauve and pearl tints prevail. These were combined witn nlaln mvtti (..

The white cloaks to be worn with such dresses are of brocaded velvet tinted with color, satin brocades and cream-white cunui-iuir wrougnt witn gold or silver, and bordered with thick ruches ot feathers, chenille, beaded trimming. Am. Rich toilets are worn by those Whose Incomes are not np in the millions, but are limited to 11,000 or ft.000 yer year. They are made ot the flannel goods that la now so popular aud that prove so inexpensive; ara heavier than the same kind of goods that were worn ail summer, and are of spun wool.

Ths slapla ahadaa for evening wear are navy-blue, garnet-olive and seal-brown. The Jersey walat will be appropriate and proper for our opera season tbat la, for plump and full, rounded ladles and young girls, if hats and bouueta ar to be worn at the Opera Festival (and we hope they let them be very small, and aa plain, aa regards trimming, as possible, so tbat the view of persons in the rear will not be obstructed. Long feathers, big-brimmed hats aud poke bonnets should ba avoided.

A lady aaid to na yesterday: we imna ium EsQUiRxjt is right In advocating no non-nets; but many ladies, like myself, have their hair and but little of it. What ara we to do? In reply we say. buy I. Hair Is as cheap as bonnets, and ean be bought with half the The ladles of Cincinnati have an oppor tunity this week to gain for themselves a world-wide reputation.

If the ladiea will appear at tbe opera this week without bonnets, and their hsir dressed witn natural flowers, both God's own gifts, they will find themselves famous, ana nereaiter wu wjo leaders of fashion throne bout the world. Ia not tbat something worth making a sacrifice for. ladiesT Let the decree go forth, "No bonnets at tbe opera this week." To-morrow night Wagner's opera AVoAenorfa will be given on a scale of grandeur never before known in tbe world. The audience will be Immense. In fact we doubt if all the people will be able to get In the Hall.

They claim the Club was expelled oecause it wouia not rerrain irom selling Honors on their grounds. WeU. that might bavs been the reason yes. It was the reason. But there was another reason which was bid behind the bush.

or some cause Evana and Hulbert worked bard for the discontinuation of the sale of liquors on ball grounds, and they gallantly carried their point. Why Hulbert, who lovea bis whisky ss well as any man, should be so bitterly opposed to granting us tbat privilege, we are at a loss to know. It certainly did not Injure the game any In Cincinnati, as wa turned out audiences which were com posed of tba first people of Cincinnati. Why we wished to continue keeping a bar on the grounds la because the League refused to break tbe five-men rule, which was ruinous to us, as it was impossible to get tne men we wsntea after the other seven Clubs bad named their men. Although we could have got a better team toeether than we bad last season, we could not attract people enough to pay the expenses.

We received 2,000 for the bar privilege, whfch would have went far toward paying expenses.

The Cleveland Club is about to loss the services of Its President, J. Ford Evens, who will soon depart for South America on a special business engagement. We have this from pretty good authority.

Can't say that Cincinnati will grieve much over tbe change. The gentleman was never a friend of the Cincinnati Club. K.elly is still in Cincinnati. Be will not goto Chicago until April 1st. when all the Chicago men are expected to report.

in a recent article in tne cnicago rimes President Hulbert by Innuendo tried to convey the idea tbat tbe Enquires base-ball reporter had acted In bad faith. A Chicago newspaper inena writes to our reporter as follows: "1 know perfectly well Hulbert doesn't believe what be says about your, collusion with a crooked umpire. One day last summer I had a talk with him at the head -Quarters of ths Chicago Club, and in the course of tbe conversation we touched on the Enquirer's crusade against tha League. Hulbert then aaid, among other things: 'The Enquirer reporter la pig-headed, wrong-headed, liable to take the wrong side of a question as, for instance, the ease of Jones, wherein he wholly misconceives the meritsof the cane; but with all hla errors of Judgment, ne is nonest ana upngnt, ana a most aevoiea friend of tbe This, and more to the same effect, waa aaid.

A well-known base-ball writer of Boston, in a letter to tbe Enquirer reporter last week, said: "I am sorry that Cincinnati is not to be represented in the League the coming year. The Clubs representing tbat city have always been popular with iMMionians, woo nave aa-mired their skillful plsy and their gentlemanly deportment, both off and on tbe field." The Cleveland Leader has been Indulging in the foolish luxury of two columns of biog raphy of their new team. Next fall they'll dismiss the boys with a three-line benedic tion. If Evans leaves the Cleveland Club it's four to one Mlka McGenrv will not be the Captain of the team.

He'll be in luck if he remains in the nine. Mike is the especial pet ot J. Ford Evans. Tbe following sketch of Tale's Base-ball Team for 1881 la from the New Haven Register: "There being thirteen men in training, ana aa only nine can be successful lu securing the coveted positions, It Is interesting to review the men and tbelr respective chances.

Ths long-felt need of a change pitcher and catcher la supplied by men of tba first excellence, and tha dangerof losing all by an accident to one of these men, so liable to mlsfortuna, la thus tn a measure removed for no pitcher and eatonor ean. with personal safety to themselves, play In all the games necessary for the practice ot ths rest of the nine. As la seen, most of the nine have bad tha benefit of considerable axperteaos against our veteran enemy.

Harvard, and thus la removed the liability of their getting rattled, while the abundance of excellent eandldatea renders Captain Lamb entlraly lode pendant in bis choice, and na Insubordination to tba rules of discipline will be tolerated, but the strictest training will be required, at tbe aartl of losing their positions. Tba nine will probably be chosen during tha Easter re- ana wLT Busctea enursiy aeeoruing to ability and faithfulness In training. Tbe fact tbat a man has been a member of tbe nine will by no means Insure him the position this year, unless bis ability and faithful training merit It. In view of these facta, then, Yale Is warranted In tbe anticipation that the record of her representatives during the coming season will be a brilliant one, and that eighty-one will leave the college with a glory lo this sport which will-even surpass that which baa thus far characterised her course."

TIRED Or LIFE. Aua-ast ZeBel Hanga Himself la tlie Cel ler-way af a l'onrtb-Street Haaslen. August Zobel, a German, who has been boarding at the corner of Court and Elm streets for tbe past few days, committed sui cide by hanging some time during night be fore last. A passer-by discovered bis body banging In the cellar-way In front of No. 59 Eaat Fourth street yesterday morning.

An alarm was given and Lieutenant Thornton, of Hammond-street Station bouse, cut the man down, but be wss already The house No. 68, Just east of Syca more, a three-story stone-front, is at present unoccupied and undergoing repairs. Leading down to the basement of the house is a flight of atone steps, protected by an Iron railing along the pavement. To this railing the suicide bad attached one end of a rope, an ordinary clothes-line, and, making a noose of the other end, put It around his neck. In order to strangle himself the man was oblleed to bend hia knees, as nis feet other wise would touch the stone steps.

From tbe stiffness of the body It is supposed that the man committed tbe deed during the night and bad been banging a long time, in tne man'a pocket waa found a card with the following written upon it: "August Zobel. No, 541 Main street, tbe clothes at tbe corne of Court and Elm streets, in tbe boarding-house." Besides this were fonnd a small shoe-maker's knife and pipe. The man waa apparently thirty-five years of age, brown hair and mustache and chin whiskers of the same color, and his clothes rather the worse for wear. Inquiry at Court and Elm streets revealed that the deceased was August Zobel. a safe-maker, born in Prussia.

A medal for bravery, given to him by tbe Prussian Government, waa found among hla effects, as also a testimonial for bravery In tbe battles of Gravelotter Champlgny end 6ar Luis. He bad been boarding at Court and Elm for the past two days, and drinking rather freely. At No. 541 Main street, the number written on the card In hia pocket, it waa found that he had a wife and three children, from whom he had been separated for some time, caused by hla drinking and not supporting them. Last Thursday he went to aee bla wife, and begged ber to take him back, but she refused, as he waa still drinking and bad no work.

He then bid her good-by, and aaid It was for tbe last time and forever. Thia was tbe last they heard of him until Informed of bis suicide yesterdsy morning. His wire says she will have blm buried from Hsblg'B. tbe undertaker, at the Walnut Hills Burvlng-ground. The Coroner will bold an inquest to-morrow.
