 THE EXCELSIOR FOLLY COMPANY.
 A small audience witnessed the first pres entation of 'sThs Field of the Cloth of Gold" by the Excelsior Folly company at the New Haven Opera House last evening. The e1- travaganza has little or no merit, but it served to introduce the popular music of the day, and several quite amusing, novel fea- lures, all of which were we'll received. The song and dance of the 'tcranks," !" the very unique performances of the rival kings on horseback and the duel by the royal cats Will H. Bray received a deserved encore for his song, "Papa's Baby Boy," as did Messrs. Monico and Smith for their fine singing and dancing. MT. Harry Brown as ''King Henry VIII' and MT. J. N. Harris IS 'King Francis were very clever, especially in the sparring match in the last scene. Miss Anna Boyd as "Sieur de rBoissey" acted and sang u0f part SO dS tO uesoIV0 Sp0Clal m0utlOn. The chorus is strong one, and among other selections gave Balfe's Excelsior in fine style.
