KATE CLAYTON.


 The Sea of Ice' was presented last even ing by Miss Kate Claxton and her excellent company at the New Haven Opera House The company is avery strong one, rendering ade- quate support to the favorite star The costumes were very elegant and stage settings most satisfactory. The development of the plot, which was very interesting, was watched with close attention and applause was. gem erously bestowed. The impersonation of the clever Barabas by Mir. George c. Boniface, ir. :, is worthy of special mention His song with little Lottie Lodge and the tiny creature's dancing quite took the audience. The same play will be presented at to-day's matinees In the evening "A Child of the Statea will be played. Miss Claxton has met with her U usual hattering reception in her annual tour Inls year and we congratulate our citizens upon the presence of the company in our
 clty. The play "A Child of the State" is very highly spoken Of The situations are strong and intensely dramatic. There are several most painful, almost volcanic crises Tn tnls work, resultant on the danger that a W1te's secret of preliminary and comnlicat
 ing maternity will be exposed to tbe bns- band who has welded her with perfect canf;- dence in her unsullied past It is undonht- edly drama which will interest large nm bers of people, for it is full of good situa- tions and climaxes, and is perfectly harmless.

 As advertised in another column some two weeks ago the New York Trio club propose to give series of chamber concerts again this season similar to those of last year. This organization is as superior to all other clubs of the kind as the Thomas orchestra is to other orchestras, and deserves a large au- dience at the first concert, November 18th. The subscription lists at the music stores are rapidly filling up. The four or five hundred concert going families, who have received the prospectus by mail this week, will have now only short time in which to subscribe and should write their names without further delay and in such large numbers as to make New Haven the leading city in Connecticut in supporting such fine concerts as are given by the New York Trio club

A Thief Caught.

Detective Crawford, of Philadelphia,
came to Mfddletown on Tuesday, and
with the assistance of officer Craddock
arrested Mary Frances Johnson, a so
iourner at Hamtown, where her father
lives. Some time ago Mary Frances, who
is about the color of a burnt ginger cake,
lived at service with Miss S. F.. Crook, OF
South Twentieth street, Philadelphia, but
left there and worked at other places.
On January 18th she returned to Miss
Crooks and asked to be employed there
again, and an engagement was made, but
while the family were at supper Mary
Frances stole softly up stairs to improve
each shining hour. She packed up
velvet dress valued at Sl35, two rings
valued at $3.50, about S85 in money and
some pretty trinkets that she thought
might add to her charms of person. And
then she went away in hurry. She tore
herself away in a space of considerable
briefness She fitted in f1ittish manner.
She flew on the wings of Time. She
skipped at an extreme degree of skippish-
ness. w U6u MISS CEOOh ndu lllllSlICO uOl
supper she found that Mary Frances was
gone And she found also that her velvet
dress and two of her rings and some of
her trinkets aforementioned were gone.
The matter was placed in the hands of
Detective Crawford and he proceeded to
work it up. Through Postmaster Dun
ming he learned that Mary Frances was
sojourning in the neighborhood Of Mid
dletown, and on Tuesday he came down
and caught her at the house of her sister,
at !" Johntown." Her trunk was found at
her tather's home and searched by the
detective. The velvet dress and few Of
the missing trinkets were found. 1t is
believed that Mary Frances spent the
money and placed the rings in the care of
her "uncle' in Philadelphia. She has
been putting on considerable style of late
and her fine apparel was the cause of
envious thoughts and words among her
less favored dusky sisters. Detective
Crawford took her to Philadelphia by the
evening train of Tuesday. Mary Frances
was given hearing OH Wednesday at
the Central station and held in $1,000

The Aqricultural Horse Trot.

The Peninsular Agricultural and Pomo-
logical Association of Middletown, Del,
has concluded to discontinue its annual
exhibitions. The grounds will be leased
to n stock company and be used for spring
and fall trotting meetings. We regret 10
note this fact.-Newark Deidudre Ledger.
If the grounds of the defunct P. A. and
P. Association are to be leased to stock
company and be "used tor spring and fall
trotting meetings no person at Middle
town seems to know anything about it at
this writing. There are rumors and ru-
mors, but if any person intends to buy
the buildings of the association and lease
the grounds for a trotting course he is
keeping his intention to himself But if
the grounds are to be SO leased and so
used, why should the Ledger "regret to
note this fact?" 1t is plain to everybody
that the chief attraction at every agricul-
tural fair held on this Peninsula is the
horse race, or, to put it nilder, the trials
of speed The big potatoes, the over
grown pumpkins, the fat cattle, the Won
derful bed quilt, the canned fruit, the
jellies, the pies and cakes, the everlasting
threshing machine with the silver-tongued
and tireless machine agent from the West
or North, are only mere "side shows"
And the managers of every agricultural
society in Delaware and Maryland know
this to be true They are afraid to try to
hold fair without the horse race. Let
them try it and they wouldn't get enough
gate money to pay the brass band. II
horse race is a "thing to be regretted"
when held without side attractions, why
is it all right when combined with the
other attractions common to agricultural
exhibitions? The Ledger has the floor.

Readings at the bJC0unA
Although it rained in brisk sort Of
way on Monday evening, an audience
that nearly filled the irving Lyceum $
COW room came to hear the recitations of
Miss Lizzie f. Phillips, Of Wilmington.
Miss Phillips is quite young Delng only
about fifteen, and has had but little in
struction from competent teachers of elo-
cution. but her recitations were very salts
factory. She has selfpossession, a pleas
ing face, a good voice, an excelieht mem
orv and other natural gifts which, with
thorouph course OF instruction under
competent teachers, should and no DOUBT
will enable her to win high place as
nnblic reader. Seemingly, Miss Phillips,
though SO young, is not very much trou-
bled by that distressing fear OF an audi
ence, familiarly called "stage fright,
which young and sometimes even Old
readers find so difficult to overcome. Her
recitations were all well received
4" Asleep at the Switch "Archie Dean,"
=" Lorraine Lorree," and the "Polish
Boy" were, perhaps, her best efforts,
though one or two humorous selections
were very cleverly rendered. Miss Phil
lips was accompanied by her mother, who
read several selections, including "The
Jiners," which the audience seemed to
much enjoy. Some delightsome vocal
music by Miss Emma Cotton and Mrs.
George w. Price added much to the enter
tainment.
