Entertainments

''Aunt Polly Bassett" gave a very pleasing entertainment at Goes Opera House last even- ing, ''The Brio a-Brac" being very amusing and odd, and the ''singin' skewp' has lost none of it's amusing attractiveness during Aunt Polly's absence from this city. Those who desire an evenings innocent amusement should not fail to see it tonight.

 YoRIoK's LOVE.
 On Thursday evening of this week Mr. Lawrence Barrett will appear at Coe's Opera House in the new play by W. D. Howells, en- titled ''Yorick's Love-" The Providence Press says of MT. Barrett and the play: "We speak carelessly and fippantly of this and that player, and say, He is an elegant actor The phrase, in it's strictest sense, may be ap- piled to Lawrence Barrett. and especially in the part which he gave for the second time here last evening-sMaster Yorick' Aside from the interest of the story, which holds the spectators through every scene to the in tensest attention, the assumption of the part of Yorick is one of the finest studies that may be seen. MT. Barrett's grace and power in difficult and delicate characters has never per haps been more fully shown, and certainly the fervor of the public has never been so great at any performance of his here as 1t was last night. At the end of the second act the rare compliment of double recall was given Fine as MT. Barretts playing is in this piece, 1t is supplemented by acting that loses noth- ing by comparison on the part of the compa- ny. This most unusual feature contributes greatly to the success of the performance. The sale of reserved seats will commence at the box office this morning.
 UNDINE.
 The New Haven branch of the Woman's Board of Missions, now in existence for near ly nine years, has for it's object the conversion of heathen women and children.

There are one hundred and eleven auxiliary societies and seventy seven mission circles connected with the branch.
