The Rig Fleet at Anchor Yesterda
 Just Inside the Break water.

The Rig Fleet at Anchor Yesterday
 Just Inside the Breakwater.
 The importance of New Haven harbor as a port of refuge for the commerce of Long Island Sound to the doubIing mind can now be proved by a view from any prominent point. We are informed by MT. George H. Townsend, of Townsend avenue, that he counted, yesterday afternoon at ? o'clock, 118 sail of vessels at anchor in the channel between Long Wharf and the breakwater. This number does not include the large fleet moored to our wharves, nor the large amount of tonnage afoat in barges awaiting their turn to discharge their cargo. These vessels all lay in the channel and block the fair way or mid-channel to the wharves and make the navigation of the harbor very diff especially at low water. It is to be hoped that cur members of Congress will make every effort this session to get the appropriation of $500, ,000 recon msnded for our harbor by the chief of en- gineers and Colonel Mcfarland, the eminent engineer officer in charge of this district If the great west breakwater off New Haven harbor, which Colonel Mcfarland has in his last report so earnestly urged, were now com pleted this enormous fleet of steam and sail vessels now wind bound, would have refuge out of the channel and off the entrance of the port; and with much greater ease (on account of sea room) get under way with the first fa- vorable shift of wind.
 It is estimated that the value of this fleet of vessels and their cargoes in the barbor yes terday represents several millions of property that pays annually enormous sums. not only to their owners, but in the way of taxes into the State and United States treasury, and surely every protection should be afforded them.
 New Haven harbor's geographical position gives it great importance and no expense should be spared to make it one of the most inviting to the merchant marine of the world.

WEATHER NOTES.
The Drop i'm the Mercury-Lightning
 Last Evening.

The Drep i'm the Mercury-Lightning
 Last Evening.
 There was quite vivid display of light ming over east last evening just after dusk. It was quite distinctly visible from this city.
 The heavy drop in the mercury Saturday made itself very psrceptibly felt, such a change of thirty degrees or more would be likely to do. A sharp wind blew, penetra- ting even heavy overeoats, and the late horse cars were more crowded than usual, people having no taste for encountering the blasts The BunnelPs Museum audience was the last one out Saturday evening, and the large au- dienee quickly dispersed for home via the horse cars and on foot The cabs and hacks also did lively business, the piercing blasts of wind impelling ladies and gentlemen to patronize those means of transportation.

THE GOOD sAMARGTANs.

A Housing Meeting Last Evening-Spir-
 ited Addresses-MusfcaI And Liter
 ary Rxereises-Manys s1gners To The Pledge
 Another rousing meeting was held by the Good Samaritans at Carll's Opera House last evening. The exercises were opened by sing ing and prayer by Brother Clark.
 After the opening exercises President Lud- ington stated that there was remaining on hand at last report $26S. There was collected at the door in November $299 2S, making a total of $301.9 The ex- penses in the same time were $303. 50 1eav- ing deficit of S1 .54 for nine meetings The society is now on 8 good financial basis, said the speaker, and during the two months that these meetings have been held one hundred and ffty-eight persons have signed the pledge, which does not include those who have enrolled under the total abstinence ban ner at Samaritans' hall on week days and evenings. On concluding his statement President Luddington made 8 brief introductory address in which he quoted from Max O:Rells letter, as published in the COURIER, showing the enormous e1, pense of the drinking habit in England and the consequent crime and pauperism that followed. In concluding the president in troduced Brother J. A. Moore, who made an excellent practical address.
 w. Fl. Conklin was next introduced. MT. Conklin made an earnest appeal to those present to enroll under the temperance ban ner and not to stand idly by and sec men go down to ruin through the use of strong drink.
 President Luddington followed with a short but eloquent address in which he pie tursd in vivid colors the evils of intemper- ance and the blessings that followed from a life of sobriety. In concluding he appealed to those present to come forward and sign the pledge and fifty-nine persons responded to the call.
 The musical and literary part of the exer- cises followed. First was very fine cornet solo by MT. George Resell. Then followed 8 recitation by Mrs. Jennie Taylor entitled 'sThe Drunkards Farewell to Intemperance. D The selection was very finely rendered and was highly appreciated by the audience. The Elm City quartette sang s'Way Down on the Suwanee River, and being encored responded with another pleasing selection.
 The meeting throughout was a grand suc- cess.

THE KRmESS.

The Net Profits Amount to $4,332-
 The Statement of the Executive
 Omm1ttee-SakisfactOr and Highly
 Encouraging Results.
 The executive committee of the United Workers have the pleasure to announce that the net profits of the late Kirmess amount to $4, ,9s2o3
 Better than this complete financial success is the quickened impulse given to the vari- ous committees as they go forward in their volunteer work in the relief of the sick poor, in furnishing sewing through the Elm ployment bureau, in giving evening pleasure and shelter to hundreds of boys through the Boys club, in the sewing school and in visi- ting the unfortunate at the almshouse. This gratifying result is due to the efficient ser vice of those who assisted; as we'll as to the general support of an interested public, to all of whom we offer our grateful aeknowl- edgments, and especially to our finance committee.

 ''MYTH AND MIRACLE"
 This is the title of the latest lecture, of Robert G. Ingersoll, to be given Thursday evening next at the New Haven Opera House. In it we understand that the orator traces the origin of all religions and shows how some of the most beautiful legends and myths of the past and shows their natural and inevitable relation to the superstitions and fancies of the present. His lecture abounds in poetic thought and splendid i'm agerv, and is fully fortified by facts and log

 azw HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.
 Hugh Conway and Comyns Carr's "Dark Days" will have it's initial performance in this city tonight. The company, as well as the new, original scenery, is from the Theater Royal, Haymarket, London, England, and the English character of play that is essen- tially English in all it's details is very ad- mirably sustained.
 The play, which is in five acts, has in it some very strong situations, is spectacular and sensational, with emotional touches be sustained from the first scene to the last. Love as it is apt to present itself among the young people of an English noble very rural surroundings, opens the piece, into the old time phases of betrayal, bigamy, British court of justice.
 this play, the final one occurring tomorrow November 10 said of s'Dark Days" and this company:
 .'It is pleasure to wei rome to this stage play discovering such well wrought and artistic dramatic work the piece produced at the Criterion Theatre last night sDark Days h melodrama in five acts by T. Cornyns Carr and Hugh Conway, is good play; play which possesses quite uncommon merits, in combination of strength and scenery interest Put upon the American stage for the first time, it's production was effected in a most brilliant man intelligent and discriminating audience which com pletely filled the house.
