The Hasty Pudding Club will visit New York during the spring recess, and give two performances, in the University Club Theatre, Madison square, of the burlesque opera in four acts entitled, "Hernani."

The opera will, of course, undergo the usual transformation at the hands of the members of the society, and be embellished with many localizations.
