Mr Conried. tho now director of. tire New York Metropolitan Opera House, where Madam© Melba has won so many triumphs, says in the Jjondon "Daily Telegraph” of tho 16th May that he would like to engage her for next season if she does not "ask for the gross receipts,” Further _ testimony to the enormous re. muneration now given everywhere to the great Australian singer is borne by a leading concert agent in London, who declares in tho London "Daily Chronicle” of the same date that for "At Home*” here Melba can get practically whatever she asks. In tho same interview this agent mentions that of the scores of concerts that have been given in London within tho last month, probably not a dozen brought in a A 3 note, while the loss in on© case—an Australian venture—was not leas than .£2OO.
