Admtral Foote Post Fntr.

The opening night of Admiral Foote post fair last evening in Peckis Grand Opera House was grand success in every partieu. lar. The house is very handsomely decora. ted and there was g large attendance of peo. pie who admired the large display of valuable presents to be given to the patrons of the fair. Ernblsms of the various army corps are freely displayed and the ladies of the auxiliary corps are most attentive to the wants of the patrons of the fair. The suspicious opening argues well for the success of the grand fair. The dancing was enjoyed from 8:3O to 12 o'clock, the floor being well filled with dancers. The fair will be continued for nine evenings with dancing on each occasion. It should be Iib- orally patronized by the public. There are stage entertainments every evening.

A competitor advertised last week that ito inaugurate'' something or another and to show his appreciation of the livery liberal patronage" received, he would sell goods lat lower prices than any store in New Haven. !" and he proceeded to give examples. Among these was Williamsville cotton at ten cents, called special bargain. Now, we have been selling that very good make of cotton for the last month or more at 10c and not calling it g special bargain either. Lately, finding we could buy 1t for less, we put the price at 1-2 cents and still said nothing about it. A deal- CT who advertises his 'entire stock at lower prices than any store in New Haven'' must have poor opinion of the in- telligence of New Haven peorle. We sup pose the other Especial bargains" were of the same kind as the WilIiamsville. Anyway it would be interesting if some customer would compare, for instance, the Sc cam brics with ours at 64c, or the 20c cretonnes with ours at 1Sc, or the 4c prints with ours at 34e,er, in short, any of these Especial bar gains'' with the goods we are selling every day at the same ar less prices. We might not be cheapest in every instance, that we can't be sure of, but we are not afraid of the comparison and would like some customers to try.

 PNAFeRE.
 Press Eldridge's famous version of Pima fore was put on the stage at the American Theater last evening, and from the opening chorus to the fall of the curtain evoked con- tinual roars of laughter and bursts of ap- plause. Charles Harris, as Sir Joseph Weis beer, and Press Eldridge, as Captain Corn and eccentricities. The Bartlett sisters, Miss Etta as Josephine, and Miss Nellie, as Ralph Hayrack, won the favor of the audience by their fine singing and clever acting. Miss Lou Sanford's Buttercup, like all her imper- sonations, could not be improved upon. Press Eldridge, jr., a little tot under five years, made precocious midshipn1ite and seemed to take naturally to the character. Indeed, his first appearance before the foot lights showed that he inherits much of the dramatic talent that has already placed his father and mother so high in public favor. The remaining characters were we'll taken, and the chorus was especially good, the voices of the Quaker City Quartette adding much to it's volume and harmony. A fine oIio precedes the operatic burlesque, making an exceedingly enjoyable entertainment throughout. Matinees on Wednesday and

The New Field.

YaIe's New Athletic Grounds to be Used
 For the First Time Next Saturday.
 What may properly be called a new era in Yale athletics will be inaugurated next Satur- day, when the new athletic grounds on the West river will be used for the first time. Tine occasion will be the fall athletic games It is now a long time since the days when the students used to play football on the Green in classes, and the athletics of the college have assumed much more prominent posi- ton than they did then. The accommoda- tions at Hamilton Park have for long time been inadequate for base ball. football, lacrosse, tennis cricket and general athletics, and Yale men have longed for permanent grounds of their own which would be com modious and well equipped for the various branches of athletics.
 In March, 1881, twenty-nine acres on the west side of West river, south of Derby avenue, were purchased at cost of $21,- 394. 50. During the summer the field was cleared and plans adopted for the layout. The ground was graded and prepared and now has been finely seeded. It is expected that by next season there will be strong, heavy turf An approach to the grounds has been built and the keepers house re- paired and painted. At the southwest corner of the field about four acres has been reduced to level about thirty inches below the main filled and a quarter mile track laid around it. This track has been constructed under the superintendence of MT. Robert Rogers of New York. It is composed of a bottom layer of coarse cinders upon which is layer of coarse gravel, then 8 layer of slag and cinders, then layer of coarse screenings from pea coal and locomo- tive cinders, then 8 layer of fine screenings and finally top dressing of dust from Cum berIand coal. The bedding is of tarred spruce and hemlock. This track will be used for the racesinext Saturday.
 Eight men were at work yesterday upon the new grand stand, which will have about five times the seating capacity of the one at Hamilton Park. The framework will be put up to-day and the stand will be completed this fall. It is located opposite one of the entrances on the north side of the field and overlooks the whole. Some idea of the ex- tent of the grounds can be gained from the fact that the area is about as large as the Green. The new grounds are nearer the campus than Hamilton Park by one hundred and fifty yards. According to an article in the Yale Record written by Mir. White, '81, member of the board of directors, the twenty-nine acres are divided as follows:
