A Pleasant Occasion.

A few of the host of friends of Mr.. Ed.
Hemingway, of the well known firm of Hem
ingway & Bradley, of this city, made him a
surprise visit at his residence in North Haven,
on the Northford turnpike, about four miles
from the city, on Monday evening. The
company went out in one of Smedley's
barges. They surprised Mr.. Fl. at supper.
''The happiest man alive'' was found then
and there, and the genial host made his
visitorsat home Immediately with the efficient
aid of his estimable lady. The visitors
brought along a full commissary department,
and the tables were spread and an abundant
feast disposed of amid the utmost sociality
and pleasure. One of the party at the feast
was the mother of Mr.. Hemingway, 81 years
of age. The occasion was greatly enjoyed by
all, including the visit to the hydraulic water
works and the inspection of the commodious
and comfortable residence of the host and
hostess, the only regret expressed being that
the ''Annex" part of New Haven had not
extended a few rods further and included the
whole of Mr.. Hepaingway's premises. The
party returned about midnight

East Rock Park.

The Board of Compensation were in ses-
sion last evening and heard parties in interest
regarding the assessment of damages and
benefits for the layout of East Rock Park
large number of persons were present,
most of whom own property long distance
from the park, and they failed to see how
they were to be benefited by the proposed
layout. The board have fixed Edwards
street as the present limit for assessment, but
have not decided how much farther they will
go toward the center of the city in assessing
benefits. There is general demurrer ap-
parent on the part of all parties who are now
notified to be present and show cause why
they should not be assessed for this prospec-
tive park.

Turkey and the Turks-Roberts' College.
AT the North church missionary concert
last evening a very interesting account OF
Roberts College at Constantinople was given
by Mr.. Vittum, who is one of the teachers.
He began with a graphic description OF Con-
stantinople and its people. By situation
made the stronghold and gateway between
China and Europe it has been kept in the
possession of the Mohammedans ever since
their conquest. Under the Roman sway it
once was the head and capital of Christen-
dom. Only two-thirds of the thirty-seven
millions governed from this seat of Moslem
power are Turks or Mohammedans the re-
mainder are of various nationa1ities. These
are distinct in name, language and customs.
Religion, however, derived from the Koran
enters into and forms q strong element of the
government. The soldiers make their duties
to be religious. In the college the students
are taught in their own languages to read and
to write Them and are thus enabled to study
them. But the English is taught as the one
common language. In this they study his
tory, geography, literature and mathematics.
This saves the almost impossible labor of
translating the text books into any or all the
different languages The English was so
much purer, free from the faint as it were of
profanity and vulgarity, that it is best fitted
as a language of instruction. The marked
effect of the freedom of the Bulgarlans is
seen by their better character and larger
number of students. Yet all are earnest, de-
termined students in the college.

There was a. LARGE audience at Car1ps On

There was large audience at Carll's Opera
House last evening to see and hear Mary An
derson as Berthe in 1.-THE Daughter of
Roland" The play is an interesting and
we'll written one The plot, though simple,
is not weak "Berthe,' the daughter of
Roland" loves "Gerald, )" the son of "Gan-
elon.'. scBerthe's'' father was slain by the
treachery of "Ganelon," who appears in the
greater part of the play as ''Count Amaury,"
thus concealing his crime from those among
whom he lives and from his son. Finally
his identity is revealed, butt 'Berthes" love for
Gerald" does not fail, and all is
well at the last with the lovers, "Ganelon''
conveniently removing his unpleasant self by
dying at the right time The complications
which arise in the course of the unfolding of
the plot furnish opportunities for impressive
acting by 'Berthe,' ''Ganelon' and Ger
AID" The first act passed off tamely, and it
was not until the close of the second act that
the audience were aroused to anything like
enthusiasm. At the end of the second act,
when Berthe exclaims to ''Gerald' kneel-
ing before her, "Let Roland be your guide
and Roland's daughter your reward :" Miss
Andersons voice and manner were very eff
fective and she was rewarded by hearty ap-
plause. After this the play increased in in
terest to the close and she had no cause to
complain of lack of appreciation of her
efforts. There was more opportunity last
evening to Judge of her Improvement in act
ing than in "Galatea.' She has undoubted-
ly improved since she was here last. Mr.. J.
B. Studley as "Count Amaury'' (Ganelon)
gave q consistent and powerful portrayal of
the character, and won hearty commentator
from the audience. Mr.. William Harris as
'Gerald'' was quite satisfactory and the 9th

STEVENS COMIC OPERA COMPANY.
Considering the other attractive entertain
ments, there was large audience present at
the Grand Opera House last evening to wit
ness the production of the operate absurdi-
ty, the 'Jolly Bachelors" That the opera is
correctly called an absurdity there can be no
doubt-in fact it is nothing but budget of
nonsense from beginning to end. The music
in some portions is bright and pretty, but
was rendered last evening in harsh and
unmusical tones by the orchestra par
ticularly the earlier portions Of it. There
are several pretty solos and duos, which
were sung by Miss Amy Gordon and Miss
Jeannie Winston in manner to call forth
hearty applause. The terrible puns and
ridiculous situations which followed one an
other thick and fast highly amused the
audience and at times forced them into roars
of laughter The costumes were brilliant
and picturesque and did not materially inter-
fere with fair display of robust understand
ings. There are a number of excellent singers
and actors, together with fine chorus in the
company, and the rendering of sPinafore"
by them this evening will undoubtedly be
highly ENJOYABLE.
