 LINCOLN RINK.
 The new rink is becoming very popular with the citizens of this city. The floor was covered with skaters at both afternoon and evening sessions yesterday. The members of Admiral Foote post, G. A. R., with their wives were present last evening. It was amusing to see the'F -Vets'' who had stood be- fore the cannons mouth, who had marched shoulder to shoulder through storms of bull lets, throw up their hands and succumb to so harmless a weapon as the little roller skate. During the evening much excitement was occasioned by an apple race. The con testants were all good skaters The apples were won by MT. George Cook. MT. Cook acknowledged the applause he received by 
 BUNNELL's MUSEUM.
 Two immense audiences gathered at Bun nel1's Museum yesterday, and they declared that the show given was one of the best which NIT. Bunnell's enterprise has secured at his house this season. The hall of won ders was never SO well filled with curiosities. Ne Ma Delmato with her snakes delighted GT. oz4.I tion. In the auditorium the Fills with royal marionettes were exceedingly fine and gave 8 very amusing opening to the programme. Miss Anna Morgan, charming vocalist, ap- peared in choice selection of melodies, evoking hearty applause. The lady possesses a fine voice and attractive appearance. The play ''Uncle Toms Cabin" was never given a better representation here. The "Uncle Tom" of George Krenkel was an excellent performance Little Dick Hollywood as Marks" was very lively and amusing, while Baby Clara as "Eva" certainly deserves the highest praise. For little girl she pos sesses remarkable voice and grace. Essie and Lottie Hollywood as the two ''Topsies" were very fine. The whole company seemed we'll up in their parts. The singing of the Memphis Students" was feature.
 AT THE AMERICAN.
 That really excellent combination will be iberally patronized was shown by the large audiences which crowded the performance at the American Theater last evening, on which occasion the Corners and Kelly's Re cess Novelty company u ade it's first ap- pearance in New Haven. To say the com pany is good one would be drawing it very mild, it is simply immense and kept the audience in an uproar for two hours and a half All of the speeialties are frst-class. The brilliant feature of the programme is, however, the act produced by Conroy and Dempsey of the Recess Novelty company. They present a superb spe- cialty, excelling anything ever given at the American. Their singing is splendid, their dancing unique and attract ivo, while their collection of funny sayings contain a fresh, crisp humorous selection, with nothing old or anticipated. This act is the hit of the show and the appreciation of it's merits can be judged from the incessant encores demanded. Miss Carrie Belmont is a graceful dancer, the Lamonts wonderful in their acrobatic feats, Sharpley and West give a very enjoyable musical speciality. Corners and Kelly made a very favorable impression. They were obliged to respond to frequent enoores, the reward of a well-produced spe- cialty. The company will remain during the week Matinee Wednesday and Saturday.
