 Emma Abbott's success in English opera is greater with each succeeding season. She is deserving of her increased success this season for several reasons She is singing in better voice than ever before, has secured the best company that has been engaged in the pro- duction of English opera in recent years, and has given it an almost perfect equipment. She is also aided by very fine chorus and fine orchestra. Her engagement at Carlps Opera House next Monday evening may req sonably be expected to be the most satisfac- tory she has ever played in this city. She will be heard in 'Lucia, Bride of Hammer 1 moor," composition which enables her to do the best work of which she is capable The sale of seats has been very large, and the choice seats are being rapidly taken. Man ager Carll received the following telegram yesterday: Double bill for Monday night two prima donnas, entire opera Lucia, with Abbott and scene from Donizetti's opera Elixir of Love- with Julia Rosinald in the cast.''
 THE SKATING RINK.
 The illuminated carnival at the roller skat- ing rink last evening was by far the most successful and brilliant affair that has ever taken place at this popular resort. The en- tire building lighted by five hundred or more Chinese lanterns festooned from the ceiling, with the additional rays from cal cium light placed at the further end of the rink. The effect OF the five hundred skaters moving about on the surface was most bril- nant one Around the sides and ends Of the surface were seen six hundred or more of New Haven's society people enjoying this beautiful sight. At half past seven a concert was given by fourteen pieces of the American band, which was one of the features of the evening. Mir. Guilford gave one of his de- lightful piccelo solos that was loudly ap- plauded. Following the concert came fancy skating by Wm. J. Merrill, of Lowell. He gave an exhibition of humber of beautifully executed movements that showed him to be master of the wooden wheels. After the exhibition the large party present enjoyed skating to the fine music of the rink band, led by Mr Stack.
