"Reminiscences.

It has recently been remarked in sketches of the life of the late Hon. Charles Ives that he was one of the founders of the Young Mems Institute. This is an error, as the In- stitute was founded in 1926, at which time Mir. Ives was II years of age. Mir. Ives was an active member and supporter and at one time president of the Institute. It may be of interest to name the founders of the Insti- tute, who were Eastman s. Minor, James F. Babcock, Charles Kelsey, Albert Wilcox, Joel Ives, Alfred E. Ives, George S. Gum and Edward H. Andrews. The institution was founded Aug. 1st, 1926. It was first ''The Apprentices Library Association D Two years after the name was changed to s"The Young Mechanics Institute" At that time there were one or two other libraries in existence. In 184O these were merged into "The New Haven Young Mems Institute, :" which name was adopted when the consolida- tion took place. A copy of MT. Charles Ives' work, 'Ives' Chips,'' is now, and has been for long period, in the Institute i- brary

Dr. Bacon, the pastors father. Dr. Barbour, of the Yale College church, next spoke in his usual happy man. ner, followed by Revs. Drs. Hawes, Dennen and others. Mir. E. P. Yale then announced in behalf of the ladies 8 collation. up stairs. where it was found that an abundant provi- sion had been made for the large assemblage.

 FUN IN PHOTOGRAPH GALLERY.
 The Willie Edouin's Sparks company hold forth in their carnival of unobjectionable fun for the million at the New Haven Opera House next Tuesday and Wednesday even- ings The Philadelphia Ledger says
 Fun in a Photograph Gallery" of which Nat Childs and Willie Edoin are authors, was presented in this city for the first time last night to as jolly an audience as ever filled the Park Theatre. It is termed on the programme ''two-act musical conceit, and requires three hours for it's performance. There is as much fun and dron humor crowded into that space of time as is possible, without it's becoming tedious or tiresome, and if the verdict of last night is as pronounced by other audiences it is likely to become one of the most popular ''conceits' on the stage. The interest begins with the rise of the curtain and increases un- til the close, there being so much change and so many surprises that none of the stheatri-
  scenes or incidents are verified, and not dull or idle moment is permitted to exist during the entire evening.
 KATE FIELD.
 The gifted Kate Field offers an entertain ment at Peck's Grand Opera House next Monday evening which is brimful of fun, choice sentiment and humor. It has delight ed many fine audiences Her sparkling, brilliant letters as a correspondent everybody has read, and as vocalist she displays a rarely sweet, flexible voice, sympathetic and tuneful, finely cultured and of generous scope The subject matter treated by her in her lecture is full of interest and attraction relative to London life-the people, weather, the geological gardens, Tussaud's wax works, social parties, the recreations of the upper classes, the opera and score of other fea- lures. Among the comic songs interspersing are 70, Lovely Umbrella," 'sThe Zoo, Don't s"The Spanish Muleteer Song, :" tTrickenham Ferry'' and 70, You Ridicu- lous Man" An imitation of familiar read ing of ''Macbeth'. at an evening party is given also, Madame Sotto Vocess original ballad, "The Silent Song ? also, a Cheap Jack auction speech, the whole to conclude with burlesque of Italian opera.
