 KATE GERARD.
 The beautiful and accomplished actress Kate Girard appears at Peck's Grand Opera House this evening in the brilliant play ''London Assurance" Lady Gay Spanker is of her finest impersonations. She is spoken of by exchanges as the rival of Mary Anderson in personal appearance. In the Oanadas she was received with immense enthusiasm. She is supported by Miss Sadie Bigslow and Miss Grace Bennett, both of whom have enthusi- astio admirers wherever they appear, being pronounced highly attractive. The remainder of the cast speaks for itself to those familiar with their superior merits, consisting of Harry Eytinge, who supported Booth, F. De Vernon, J. W. Summers, F. Savage, H. Aylinge, J. Deveau, T. Rothwell, NJ. Stratford, J. W. Archer and O. Wolfe. Of Miss Girard it is | said ''Her presence is very engaging and her ! face is very sweet and winning. She is true actress The company havo m engagement of six weeks at the Standard Theatre, New York, after their Connecticut engagements. 1.-THE PIRA Rarely does New Haven audiencs become l aroused to such state of enthusiasm as was exhibited at the Grand Opera House last Sat- ! urday evening, when s'The Pirates of Psn- | zance" was given. Such reception of the opera is very A.ttering to Msssrs. Gilbert and l Sullivan, and shows how popular they have I become with the public of this city. "The I Pirates of Penzance'' is undoubtedly the most clever and amusing work that its authors | have given to the public. The music is of much higher character than that of '' Pima fore," and at times some very beautiful effects are produced. The gossiping of the maidens, and the whispering of the breezss through the trees at the time when the General is aroused from his midnight slumbers are mo- ticeably beautiful and clever orchestral pro- auctions, fuller orchestra than the one of Saturday evening being needed, however, to do them justice. The pretty airs, of which
 there are many, are full of melody and sweetness, but do not surpass some of the well-worn and popular airs of 'Pinafore." The demand to have the song of the policemen repeated was so great that an at- tempt to go on with the opera without giving it resulted in storm of enthusiasm which ut- terly drowned the orchestra aud chorus and
 lasted until the 'rquad'' acquiesced in the de-
 maud. The principal parts were well sus- kAin fcc fha part of Mabel in the place of Miss Roosevelt, fully as well, although she is not so prepossessing in appearance. The airs of this opera not being easily remembered will not be whis- | tied and hummed to death, and its repro duction here will be pleasantly anticipated Good management at Loomis music store prevented any confusion in regard to securing seats, such as sometimes occurs when seats are reserved under the gallery and such large au- diences are present. The young men who gathered in the front rows to witness the magnificent display of colored hosiery made by the Major Generals numerous daughters were much gratifed. BARNUM's WONDERFUL SHOW. l Barnum is coming and everybody is on the
 
 be beaten if we may believe the reports pub l lished of it in the newspapers wherever it has been exhibited this year. We copy the fol- lowing from the New York Sun:
 ssThe American Institute building has again been taken possession of by MT. Barnum. The own and only greatest show on earth began promptly at o'clock yesterday after noon to the delight of what may be called an | only greatest audience. It was, at all events, as large an audience as the place could hold. Big as was the show, and big as was the audi | ence, Mir. Barnum, however, contrived to make himself a part of both. He sat modest Iy on 8 reserved seat until, some one having | espied his genial countenance, he was loudly called for, whereupon he sprang as lightly in to the ring as any of his nimble-legged peo- pie, and made neat little speech. which wes received with marked approval. The elephant then went round and the band began to play, 1 and the thousandth Cor so) season of Barnum was opened
