 FISK JUBILEE SINGERS. Rev. Dr. Joseph Cook, of Boston, sends the following letter to Professor White, manager of the Jubilee Singers
 DEAR SIR was deeply charmed, and hope ennobled, by the indescribable pathos of the wild, plaintive melodies of the Jubilee Singers on their appearance in the Old South on the platform of the Monday Lectureship. A powerful religious effect was produced on the crowded assembly. We were all made heavy debtors to you. Please thank the sing CTS in my name and in that of the audience. I shall never forget the music which followed the silent prayer.
 The concert tonight at the Grand Opera House will be greatly enjoyed by our citizens. APOLLO CLUB CONCERT. The Apollo Club concert last evening at the
 Atheneum, the second this season by this val
 uable organization, was in all respects a fine
 affair and thoroughly worthy of the large and
 cultivated audience which, with all interest,
 attention and satisfaction, greeted the clubs
 efforts. The programme was very meritori-
 ous, and in addition to the fine choruses by
 the club, given with spirit and evident careful training, and solo by MT. Bushnell, there were such artists as our own MT. s. s. San ford of Bridgeport, pianist, Ferdinand Quick en, pianist, and MT. Wulf Fries, cello player, and of Boston musical renown. These latter, as musical judges well know, were brilliant additions to the excellent programme and these concerts of the Apollo Club afford are credit to the city, and it is easy to see that the club is highly appreciated.
 FUN ON THE BRISTOL.
 Last evening a good house witnessed the third performance of the above play at the New Haven Opera House. Such farcical pieces are generally devoid of plot, and like the 'Tourists" depend merely upon the crowd ing in of each and every circumstance to raise a laugh, no matter how incongruous it may be. But in this new dramatic and musical extravaganza, the progress of the plot is never lost sight of in the current of fun, while the well marked delineation of the characters in- dicates that the play is the work of some skill full dramatist. The daughters of rich Irish woman and the son of retired sea captain ob- ject to the disposition of their hands made by the parents, and having preferences of their own, elope from New York with their several sweethearts on the steamer Bristol of the Fall River line. Their escape is discovered, and the parents following in hot haste fare made their unwilling fellow passengers, by the sud- den departure of the boat. On the sam @ steamer an opera troupe and 8 minstrel com pany are proceeding to Boston. The runaway young couples obtain disguises, which for a time enable them to join in the comicalities of the trip and escape the observation of their pursuers. But their music teacher, who has also followed in the chase, discovers as he thinks, a terrible secret, which brings about the eclaircissement and the recognition of the fugitives. This leads to general pardon and and the play ends with the ar- rival of the merry party at Newport in the l early morning. The whole piece is most vi l acted, the music and singing are | admirable, and the scene representing the | grand saloon of the steamer is very realistic. l Two hours and half of amusement more | genuine and uproarious are seldom presented | with greater success. Mir. Jarrett takes this, l his new enterprise, to the opera house, Hart l ford, tonight.
