These remarks We make because one Of

they have selected champions Of whom

Entertainments. .1>A 1AurNnTcu


 Last evening at the Carl Opera House Miss Ada Cavendish appeared in ''The Soul of an Actress" The play has literary merit of high order-interesting in plot, spark ling in dialogue, and in it's gracefully arrived at situations is intensely dramatic. The man ner in which the play was produced was thoroughly excellent, and the management, Messrs. Thayer, Smith $ Moulton, are de- serving hearty praise. Miss Cavendish pre- sented a picture at once thoroughly artistic. while her support left little to be desired. Mir G. C. Boniface, as he always does, did well, while MT. Hagan was very excellent in a part which demanded great versatility The ladies, of whom there were four in the cast, besides Miss Cavendish, were uniformly good, one. Miss Laura Bascom, playing with a piquancy which won for her admiration of the entire audience. Miss Cavendish was called before the curtain twice It is very seldom that company more deserving visits us. Tonight the play will be repeated.

 The grand Republican mass meeting held last evening at Peck's Grand Opera House eclipsed all others of the campaign.

There was large delegation of Bridgeport German Republicans present, who were accompanied to the hall by New Haven German Republicans. MT. M.
