Prof. Sherlock very successfully gave Pin afore in Bridgeport Wednesday evening by a company mostly enlisted In Bridgeport. The Standard of yesterday says: In the chorus Mrs. Lotta Mitchell, of New Haven, was lead ing soprano Miss Addie Pond, of New Ha- ven, leading contralto; MT. H. Hall leading basso, and MT. G. Band leading tenor. Miss Lulu V. Sherlock presided very acceptably at the piano. There were several special feat ures which deserve mention. One of these was the Sailors Hornpipe," danced by Mas ter Charles Near and his friend from New Haven. They were recalled. The chorus was a little timid at the start, but recovered before the curtain went down and did much better. The success of the opening presenta- tion shows conclusively that Professor Sher- lock is good manager. The opera will be repeated this evening and will undoubtedly be given even better than last evening.

The Capsfzing ofthe Yacht Or Bridgeport
 i'm the Late Storm.

in the Late Storm.
 A terrible calamity occurred in the Sound of Bridgeport on Tuesday, yacht with pleasure party of seven being capsized and five of the number drowned. The party set sail from Brooklyn Monday morning. It consisted of H. R. Johnson, age 20, entry clerk; William Seeley, age 14, errand boy Herman Eddy, age 20, bookkeeper; William Edmondson, age IS, ship broker; Miss Fan nie Campbell; Michael Tompkins, the sailing master, and William H. Palmer, salesman. The first mentioned three, Palmer and Miss Campbell are all employees of Benjamin's silk establishment in Greene street, Brook tlyn. Monday night the party stopped Q Glen Island. Tuesday morning they set sail again and had got down the Sound nearly as far as the Middle Grounds lighthouse when the thunder storm came up. For near ly two hours there had been a profound calm. About two o'clock 8 gust of wind came sweeping down from the north and struck the vessel, which went suddenly before it under bare poles. Suddenly the wind shifted to the vest freshening as it veered, and then, in the space of twenty sec onds, perfect gale swept over the water, beating it into froth and lifting the yacht out of the sea in which she was laboring; it fair ly keeled her over. Her mast struck the water and for space she f1oated almost keel up. The WInu lncf6aSeQ Tn force, ana before the crew could right her the waves swept over her as if~she were in the surf She soon began to settle, and as she filled she righted and went down with her mast point ing toward the sky. There was scarcely any thing for the survivors to cling to, and, strange to say, the whole party managed to keep afoat for several minutes but one by one they went down until only Palmer, Tompkins and Eddy were afioat Every member of the party could swim but the young lady, and she was buoyed up by her clothing. The struggling three got hold of pieces of the wreck and hung on for dear life, al though squall after squall came up and swept heavy seas over them until five o'clock, when Eddy cried out that he could hold on no longer and he went down into the foaming waters. In fifteen minutes after Eddy sank, Tompkins. the sailing master, sighted the schooner Senator from Maine a mile away. Palmer was unconscious, and his companion clung to him, while he shouted to attract the attention of the schooner's crew. Fortu- nately the wind was favorable, and the cap. tain, who could not see the drowning men, heard the cries of distress, and guided by the sound came to the rescue and took them on board just as the gloom of night was set ting down upon the troubled waters. Only Tompkins and Palmer were saved The yacht was 37 feet and 10 inches long, and sloop-rigged. She was 8 fast sailer, and was ballasted with four tons of iron. It is thought the latter circumstance caused her to sink the more readily when she was
