 The popular artist Frank l. Frayne appears on Friday and Saturday evenings, September 23d and 24th in his celebrated character of
 'Si Slocum" in the popular drama of that name. The play is Russo-American drama which introduces the Nihilists of St. Peters burg, the trained African lion Emperor" and the acting dog 'Jack." A grand mati- nee will be given on Saturday afternoon. THAT BOY OF DAMS.
 The opening night of the season at Peck's Grand Opera House last evening was a decid- ed success There was good audience, and those present were well pleased with the play of ''That Boy of Dan's.' This is the first time that this drama has ever been presented in New Haven, but it's success is assured and tonight, when it will be presented again. there will no doubt be 8 crowded house. Miss Addie Rodgers showed great ability in the character she assumed as ''Reddy, that Boy of Dan's," and she was well supported. Re served seats for the performance this evening may be obtained at Loomis'.
 THE CONCERT LAST EVENING.
 The concert by the American or Second regiment band and the Arion Singing society, together with other talent, last evening at the Carll Opera House, was fine one and an affair deserving of high praise. That the American band has stepped into the first rank among the bands of the State, as has been frequently remarked of late, needed no better demonstration than the band gave last night. All it's selections were admirably given and warmly applauded. The Arion society appeared in good force and sang sev- eral times with spirit under the leadership of MT. Feist. The society, organized not long ago, has already achieved fine success. A delightful solo was given by Miss Phelps. She sang very finely and was warmly en- cored, responding with Douglass, Tender and True.'' Another treat of the evening was the ''Ave Maria" by Mrs. G. F: Blinn. To an encore she responded with s'The Lost Chord" by Sullivan, .arousing in- creased enthusiasm. She was presented with lovely basket of flowers. MT. J. c. Gould's cornet solo, s'Oxford and Cam- bridge" was very creditably done and en- cored. He responded with ''The Last Rose of Summer" Great pleasure was also afford ed by the singing of quartette consisting of Mrs. Blinn, MT. P. W. Rush. Mir. E. c. Ben- nett and Dr. G. M. Bush, the gentlemen be- ing of the famous B quartette. They sang twice. The first selection was the 'fStar of Love-" the second "Good Night" Both were encored enthusiastically, and they responded with Remember now thy Creator, (which was most admirably, given, and with Deserted Am T." Occupying boxes at the concert were Governor and Mrs. Bigelow, Mayor Robert son, ex-Mayor Lewis, General and Mrs. George H. Ford and General Harmon. It is greatly to be regretted that there was not packed house to enjoy the concert, and, as was remarked by prominent gentlemen in the audience and gentlemen in the musical profession, the entertainment well deserved it
