 FREAKS.
 The New York Criterion Comedy company appeared at CarlIs Opera House last evening and played to a good house. The new yer sion of Freaks" made happy hit and the audience were enthusiastic. The members of the company are well up in their parts and the excellence of their acting was apparent. This afternoon the company will give mati- nee, at which the price of admission will be only twenty-five cents, with charge of twen- ty-five cents extra for reserved seats. They will also appear again this evening
 THE APOLLO CLUB.
 We are glad to learn that this excellent musical organization proposes to give two concerts the present season. The political excitement of the early autumn interfered to some extent with the regular work of the club, but during the past three months the
 
 club has been materially strengthened by the addition of new members, and is doubt less in better condition than ever before. It is said that some of the best artists in the country will appear at these concerts, among whom are mentioned Joseffy, Wilhelmj and others. There is no doubt but that the mu- sic-loving people of New Haven will SUD- port the Apollo club as literally as in former years.
 ''CHIMEs OF NORMANDY
 The appearance of the Boston Ideal Opera company in the Chimes of Normandy" or Bells of Corneville, next Wednesday even ing, is looked forward to with all the enthu- siastic interest which characterizes the ap- pearance of this famous opera company in its visits to this city. The opera is charm ing one and is presented with the powerful cast of Adelaide Phillips, Tom Karl, William H. Fessenden, Myron W. Whitney, H. 0, Barnabee, Marie Stone, Mathilde Phillips, George Frothingham and other favorites. The chorus is a superb one and the orchestra is brought with the company. Aside from the event being fashionable and musical one, there is great interest to see the noble company on the grand stage of CarlIs Opera House, where there is ample opportunity in stage &C., ,essories for the grand production of the opera The public will bear in mind that both the favorites. Fessenden and Tom Karl, appear in the cast. The seats are selling rap- dly and Q crowded house is an assured fact

 s'voYAGERs IN SOUTHERN SEAS"
 If the theatre-goers in New Haven had real l ed how this piece was to be brought out | st evening the New Haven Opera House ould not have held those who woull have anted to see it. Probably nothing equal to in the spectacular line has ever been seen New Haven. The scenery is very fine he Appearance of desert island in the 'uth Pacific was the first scene Then fol- wed capital lawn view of a Scotch man. on; then perfect yacht, followed by 8 FIX anu EedllStlc mOunLaln pass In South nerica. carefully contrived landslide | ds this scene and 8 startling effect is pro- lced by the tumbling of great rocks amid under and lightning. The next scene is a turn to the firstsgiven as in winter and cover with ice. Next comes scene in Chilian D, and then the climax of all, the golden te at Valparaiso, which is we'll and accu- tely described by the much-abused adjective plendid." It consists of very good ideal ,tion of the public square at Valparaiso, il- minated with colored lights and glittering gold and colors. A grand ballet is given this act, headed by the famous Bonfanti Mile Bossi, and the beautiful costumes d graceful motions of the dancers form illiant and pleasing picture. Of course in ;h play not much is expected from the sors, but the company is a good one and es what it has to do we'll esvoyaRers in 1 ; uthern Seasn will be repeated this after on and evening, and those who have not m it will not repent an investment in a t ket. 1
