 THE ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT. Don't forget the benefit for the United l Workers and Board of Associated Charities 1 tonight. The rehearsal yesterday morning was great success Those who saw it are loud in their praises of Mir. Bartlett's skill as l manager. It is purely amateur perform l ance, and the success which MT. Bartlett has had all over the country amateur manager makes it certain that we shall have rarely good time. Great effect will be given to the paintings and statuary by the use of a strong calcium light, and so well is everything ar- ranged that there will be no tedious delay, but the programme will be presented smooth ly and rapidly. We give the programme be- low, but special mention should be made of Bobby Shafto, which is a great hit. To &C., commodate the children a matinee will be given on Saturday at 2:3O. Reserved seats for sale at Loomis Friday morning:

 GRAYs' DRAMATIC ENTERTAINMENT.
 The New Haven Grays last night gave their eleventh annual entertainment at the Grand Opera House. The great popularity of these entertainments was we'll shown by the size and character of the audience which filed the house, despite the stinging cold of the night. The melange of popular songs was excellent; the comic solos, interspersed in the usual style with witty speeches from the end men, kept the house in shouts of laughter. MT. King was encored three times In the finale ''Fu1 Moon Union,' the lodge which per formed this melange went through series of evolutions that brought down the house | and secured warm encore. The Indian club 1 exercises of Mr. Hanson were beautifully l executed and won for the gentleman; the l hearty applause and admiration of the audi 1 ence. Then followed the Imaginable oddity | ''Scenes at Brown, Bolton & Co.'s" which | was so cleverly written and so cleverly ren- | dered by all acting therein that the house { laughed until it's sides ached." Mr. Blakes- l lee in his character song was inimitable, of | course. being encored. In fact, so delighted | was the audience, and so good the acting and | singing, that encores were the rule of the | evening. The four Spanish Spooners'' Gin | their last appearance previous to departure | for Wethersield), gave as their encore bur | lesque on St. Patrick's T. A B. The even ing closed with Imaginable farce, "our New Company" in which several of our leading actors and singers, as Salvini, Bernhardt, Thursby and Campanini, were taken of in a manner that was wholly unique, to say the least The Grays certainly have done well and deserve great credit for the whole enter tainment, even to the neat and tasty manner in which their programmes were printod ston4 sea raoular advertisement of D.
