Some Hints of the Coming Events in New Haven Theaters.
 It is yet too early in the season for theat- 1 rical managers to announce definitely their list of attractions for the fall and winter The ways of the managers of travelling com. binations, opera companies and theatrical troups of all kinds are so uncertain that the managers of New Haven theaters cannot al ways tell certainly whether any given attrac- tion will come to this city upon the date fixed upon or not. The managers always make up their long dates in the large cities to the best advantage, and then places along the road must take their dates as they can get them When new star or play IS of course uncertain whether the public are going to shower down their praises and shekels, or leave the show to drag it's dreary length before an array of empty benches. Hence theatrical agents often ask to have their dates at the sspro- vincial" theaters cancelled, because they find their show can draw another week or two in the city, or that they make haste to leave it, as the case may be. The result is often very annoying to local managers and the public generally The caprices of 8 s.ar often put the managers to great deal of trouble, by breaking dates, cancelling engagements and breaking up established arrangements. The managers of the New Haven theaters say that they are going to have 8 brilliant theatrical season, and all seem confident that they can present many fine attractions. Manager Peck of the Grand Opera House says he has more shows booked now than he ever had at this time of the year before. He has been making some necessary improvements on his stage, adding new dressing rooms and improving the old ones, and making other repairs in his house that will improve it considerably. He was unwilling to give any of his troups as he says he finds it the better plan not to make any announcements beforehand. He will have all his regular attractions and many new ones. The New Haven Opera House is look ing forward to busy season. With an opera company of their own added to their usual travelling companies, Messrs. Palmer and Ul- mer feel that they have plenty of work ahead and fine list of attractions to present to their patrons. Their new opera company will occupy their whole attention this month. They open with Fatinitza. Manager Carll says he Is one of the busiest men in the city just now. His family are of in the monntains,> but he has so much to do that he cannot possibly take the time for vacation. He has workmen at work per fecting the already very complete stage prop critics and scenery of his theater and he has hosts of letters every day from various man. agers asking for dates. He is fast filling up his season. He opens on Thexsday with
 
 of August and September he will have Harri- gan and Harts McSorley's Infation, Kate Claxton, Fun on the Bristol two nights, Charlotte Thompson, Wilbur Opera com pany two nights, Mestayer's Tourists, Min nie Hauk with 8 fine concert company and possibly some others whose dates are not yet definitely arranged. Yesterday he received a letter from the manager of the Wilbur Opera company asking what operas he wanted. Mir. Carll, always anxious to please the public, will be happy to receive suggestions from his patrons as to what operas this popular company will sing here. The operas which are most largely desired will be chosen. On the whole it Is quite likely that New Haven people will be visited by all the shows that it can stand this winter, and that part of the pnblic who like first class variety show will find it all the year, probably, at Press Edridge's American Theater. Press' patrons are very numerous and he says he is going to treat them to splendid shows next season. ~
