 The Royal Hand Bell Ringers and GIee ! Men delighted two immense audiences al
 Peck's Grand Opera House yesterday. The
 matinee performance given at D. m. pre-
 sented fine spectacle with over 700 Sunday 1 school children in attendance, beside a great 1 array of ladies and gentlemen. The streets
 were alive with people afternoon and evening 1 attending the Bell Ringers entertainments | They have had fine reception in this city and go away full of favorable impressions o1 I the city, and of its public buildings and in. stitutions, many of which they visited Al | the opening of the entertainment last even. I ing MT. John G. North made introductory ! remarks in which he returned the thanks of 1 the Bell Ringers for their most cordial recep- l tion and liberal patronage in New Haven, The speaker also announced the interesting lecture ! course at the First M. B. church, opened by Rev. Dr. Peck last week with Rev J. H. Vincent to follow next Tuesday evening and l others.

They return to England in April Over 2,O00 Sunday school children, through the iberality and thoughtful kindness of MT. John G. North, have attended the several en- tertainments by the Bell Ringers in this city, free of cost.
 ''oARMEN"
 Unfortunately there were two circumstan- ces that very much interfered with the pleas- ure of those who heard the opera last even ing The first and least important was the finding of the performance in full progress before the advertised tine and consequently from ten to fifteen minutes of the opera was either lost or marred by the assembling of the audience. Another very depressing fact est attraction, Signor Campanini, was not going to be present. The New Haven peo- pie have been subjected too many times to such disappointments, and they could hardly be expected to accept the matter so kindly as they did last evening. Of course, as the artist was suffering from cold, certified to by his physician in New York, there was no help for it, but should a sudden recovery permit him to appear and sing this evening in New York, as he is advertised to do, the confidence of the people of New Ha- ven in Colonel Mapleson's promises will be considerably shaken. The capacity of the Opera House was fully tested by the great and hril1io,af 6a% the excellence of the general rendering of the opera became manifest the effect of the incl dents referred to was greatly subdued. The performance in all other respects was superi- or, and can fairly be called the best rendition of opera that has ever been given in this city, taking into consideration also the house and appointments, which were found adequate in every respect. Miss Minnie Hauk sustained the character of Carmen in an artist ic manner, acting with piquancy and animation, and gave an excellent representa- tion of an artful coquette. She was in good voice and sang with accuracy, doing full jus tice to the score. Signor Del Puente was greeted with applause, and received marked attention from the audience for his capital acting and fine singing in the character of the s"Toreador," and responded to hearty en- cores. Signor Runcio, who attempted to fill the role of Don Jose in place of Oampanini, made as much of the character as he could under the circumstances, but his voice is thin and lacking in power. and of course h1s pre- sentation of the part could not be compared with that of Campani- nj. The ballet, although not large, was excellent, and Mime. Cavalazzi, the lead CT, danced with an artistic grace and beauty that aroused great enthusiasm, which would only be satisfied by 8 double performance. The chorus was fine, and the orchestra, al- though not led by Arditi, rendered the music with an elegance and precision that left little room for criticism The stage effects, cos tumes and other appointments were all that could be desired The size and character of opera can occasionally be given with financial success in this city. Itis to be hoped that we shall be thus favored several times this season.
