 NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE. Miss Carrie Swain in "The Little Joker'' played to good audience last evening. The play is one whose interest never flags from the first to the last Miss Swain was partic- ularly we'll received and won several recalls She is 8 good singer, having an excellent voice which she does not abuse, and conse- quently her singing is always charming and her dancing lively. Miss Olive West in the trying role of ''Sybil Atherly" acted to the satisfaction of all. The company otherwise is but fair. She plays in matinee this after noon and this evening.
 THE UNITED WORKERS.
 The entertainment to be given in the New Haven Opera House, Monday evening, for the benefit of the United Workers will be a pleasing combination of reading, singing and piano music. The selections by MT. Lincoln will be several new sketches of a highly entertaining character. The Yale Glee club will sing several songs and the Banjo club will give some of it's well known music. One of the features of the programme will be Home, Sweet Home" variations in style of the composers Mendelssohn, Wagner, Gounod, Handel and Rossini, played on the piano by MT. Stone.
 RIP VAN TWINKLE.
 There was only small audience at Carll,s Opera House last evening to see Mr. Robert McWade in his splendid impersonation of 'sRip Van Wrinkle" The presentation of this character by MT. McWade is certainly equal to that of Joseph Jefferson. He has played the character for many years and yet his acting last night was careful and pains taking as ''frst night" performance The company is 8 frst-class one and the stage settings adequate Professor Waas added to the pleasure of the evening by giving violin solo between the second and third acts, which was of course encored. The play will be repeated this afternoon and evening and should receive full houses.

I he programme will consist of light and popular selections adapted to the taste of all and with the addition of solos by these superb artists a most delightful entertain ment is in store. Great praise is due MT. Howe for his enterprise in enabling our citi- zens to hear these artists, who will doubtless be greeted with large and enthusiastic au- dience. The seats are being rapidly disposed of at Steinert's, and subscribers who have not obtained them well others will do we'll to secure them at their earliest conven- ience
