 AROUND THE WORLD
 The presentation of "Around the World in Eighty Days' by the Kiralfy combina tion at Carll's Opera House last evening was witnessed by large audience. There was a good deal of waiting between the acts, as is usual in spectacular dramas, but the fine stage settings made up for the delay With this exception the play passed off smoothly The actors were above the average in ability. and all knew their parts. The ballet, which was the main attraction, was better than any yet brought here by the Kiralfys and their dancing called forth deserved applause The trained elephant Bamboo" made his appearance according to agreement, and the beast marched across the stage, which stood the severe test without shaking in the least The performance will be repeated this after. noon.

In appear ancs he might be taken for an ordinary spare ribbed, long faced Yankee, in action when performing he is like man on wires and springs" This afternoon, at 2:3O, and evening at the New Haven Opera House, will be happy throng.
 THE MERCHANT OF VENICE.
 The legitimate was pitted against the spec- tacular drama last night in this city, and though ''pity 'tis, 'tis true'' that the former fared the worse far attendance was concerned. AS to the quality of perform
 
 far superior. Mir. William Stafford made his first appearance here under trying circum- stances there being hardly handful of au- ditors present to witness the play. In the difficult role of ''shyleck" it is no easy mat ter to arouse enthusiasm in much larger audience, and when Mir. Stafford last evening received continued and hearty applause be- ing called before the curtain twice. he might indeed feel that it was an honest compliment to his talents. His rendering of the character was 8 meritorious one and worthy of much older member of the pro- fession, and, while there were plainly defects, twas throughout an able presentation At times his enunciation was too rapid and his articulation husky, and if he had lent less of youth to the character, making the old Jew appear more feeble, it would, perhaps, be an improvement. Whatever difficulties may be in MT. Stafford's way, however, kis youth gives him every opportunity, with study, to overcome them, and eventually become 8 leading tragedian. He was ably supported by Miss Rosa Rand, who gave an excellent portrayal of the character of ''Portia." The company as a whole were above mediocrity. The costuming was marked for it's freshness and elegance. This afternoon "Romeo and Juliet" is advertised to be presented and this evening Marble Heart" At Peck's Opera Housa
