CHARLES RYLEY.
London. 14th May. Charles Ryley, the popular baritone singer, who broke two blood-vessels a few days ago, is dead. [The operatic stage has lost another leading light in the death of Mr. Ryley, and the news will be received with regret in the colonies, where he was well known, especially in Australia. He was principal baritone of the Royal Comic Opera Company during its Australian tour prior to 1892, and his engagement having expired, he was about to return to England, when " the Firm" specially retained him for the Wellington and Christchurch seasons of the New Zealand tour of the company. As Giuseppe Palmieri in the first production of " The Gondoliers" in Wellington in October, 1592, Mr. Ryley's splendid performance will be ,well remembered, and the same season was conspicuous for the inimitable performance by Messrs. Ryley and Lauri in the respective characters of General Bombardos and Pataques in the opera " Pepita." Poor Ryley had hoped to revisit the colonies and repeat his triumphs some tune during this or next year.]
