O
AMUSEMENTS.
The Old Homestead.
Denman Thompson's play of New
England life, the story so full of quaint
people in their old-fashioned surround-
ings, enjoying their honest, uneventful
lives, has not been seen here for some
time, so its many admirers will be glad
to learn of its coming on Friday, April
9, at Hoyt’s Theatre. The pictures of
farm life are all so natural, aided bv
the artistic brush, that we cannot but
imagine ourselves guests of ' Joshua
Whitcomb in his Swanzey home. The
new scenic and electric effects introd uc-
ed into the play are said to be marvels
of stage mechanism. One may be men-
tioned in advance, that of the summer
storm on the old farm, of vivid light-
nings, thunder and a visible rain show-
er.
Hi Henry’s Minstrels.
Hi Henry’s Minstrels who appear at
Hoyt’s Opera House Saturday April
10th, matinee and night made the great-
est hit that any similar organization
has made in years at New York last
week. The New York Journal says:
"Every act was encored and the star
favorite was compelled to leave the
stage with the audience asking for
more.
The Sages.
Another large audie nee was present
Saturday night at Hoyt’s Theatre, to
witness the‘last hypnotic performance
of the Sages. Many amusing and inter-
esting acts were performed and the au-
dience was convulsed with laughter dur-
ing the entire evening. The most
laughable exhibition Was the class in
reading.

at the foot of Fairfield avenue, Bridge-

cars broke and they parted. The rear
car had the big girder pulled from it
and the heavy piece of iron tilted and
rested on the track. , As all efforts to
lift it and get it on to the car were with-
out avail, the steam wrecker from New
Haven had to be sent for. This arrived

struction was removed and traffic re-

tor read a letter which he had received

regret that he COHld not attend. his

fying to the sound worth and scholarly

pressing his fundamental faith.
