FIREMEN TO DANCE

At Their Annual Ball to be Held at the Union ArmOry this Evehfng-A Brilliant Affair Expected and over Two Thousand Visitors.
 This evening at the Union ar1nory on Meadow street takes place the third annual promenade concert and ball of the Mutual Aid association of the fire department, and the fremen will silently pray that no alarm of fire will be sounded during the night to compel them to leave their fair companions their rubber coats and fight the devouring element. The armory has been handsomely decorated for the occasion and the executive committee, who held their last meeting at Fire Marshal Kennedy's office Saturday even ing have completed all their arrangements for the ball, which promises to be one Of the largest and most successful ever given in the armory. Itis estimated by those selling tickets for the affair that over eight hundred have already been sold and that in all probability nearly three hundred more will be sold at the armory ticket office this evening and probably over two thousand people will be present during the evening. The music will be furnished by Thomas orchestra of twen- ty pieces and at o'clock the orchestra will render fine promenade concert consisting of the following selections:
 Overture-'A -'Arion'.... .................... Bayman Selection-.'Fatinitza'' za''.................. .Suppe Waltz-''ha Belle ''..: -.---..-.---... "leSaho
 After the concert a bicycle race will take place between William Palmer and William Thompson which will probably prove very exciting, as they are both fine riders. MT. Palmer will also give an exhibition of fancy riding, and at g o'clock the grand march, which will probably be led by. Governor Henry B. Harrison and Chief
 Hendrick of the fire department, takes place, followed by a programme of twenty four dances without intermission, as supper will be held in the squad drill rooms in the gallery at the rear of the hall during the entire evening by Diebel, the caterer, so that the dancers can obtain supper at any time during the night they desire. Superin- tendent Smith will to-day place fire alarm box and gong in the armory and connect it with the regular alarm circuits, so that in case an alarm of fire should be sounded in any part of the city during the night the fremen could respond to the alarm in car riages which will be kept in waiting near door of the armory for that purpose.

THE GOOD sAmARITANs,
\ Stormy Night But a Fair Attend
 ance-Address by Rev. Phebe A. Ham

Stormy Night Hut a Fair Attend-
 ance-Address by Rev. Phebe A. Ham
 afford
 The severe storm which prevailed last
 evening prevented large number from at
 tending the Good Samaritans' meeting at
 CarlPs Opera House. There were
 about five hundred earnest temperance
 men and women present, however, who in
 brave the storm and by their presence show
 their earnestness of purpose in the great
 work they have to do.
 The meeting was opened with prayer by MT. S. c. Johnson. President Luddington then
 introduced Rev. Phebe A. Hanaford, pastor
 of the Church of the Holy Spirit" The address of Mrs. Hanaford was one of
 the best that has been delivered at these meetings. Her arguments were unassailable and her appeals elo- quent and convincing. In the course of
 her remarks, she. .lauded the work of the Good Samaritans and paid deserved tribute to the memory and work of the late President Albee, and urged those present to show like loyalty to the temperance cause, and to do all in their power to save the young men and women as well as the old from the dreadful curse of strong drink. The temptations that lie in the path of the youth and the record of crime and the baneful influence of strong drink were strikingly portrayed. It was surprising to the speaker that any sane per son should wonder that men and women were so in earnest in the temperance cause. In closing, she urged the Good Samaritans not to relax their efforts The day will come, said the speaker, when the rule of the senses will give place to the rule of the spirit and temperance shall be victorious.
 On the conclusion of Mrs. Hanaford's very able address, MT. J. F. Keegan, baritone, a pupil of Professor Bristol, and Mr E. J. Sheehan, tenor. pupil of Miss Fannie o. Howe, sang a duet entitled ''What Are the Wild Waves Saying" The song was rendered ing and harmonizing admirably They were encsred and responded with song entitled E"Teddy's Farewell, which also gave much satisfaction to the audience.
 MT. A. B. Roberts then sang @ bass solo which was parody on ''The Old Sexton" and entitled 'The Bartender" It was writ ten for Mr Roberts by Mrs. Hanaford, the speaker of the evening. Mr. Roberts ren- dered the song in good taste and was ably accompanied on the piano by Miss Myrtle Law
 The evenings exercises closed with selec- tion by the orchestra.
 On Christmas eve the Good Samaritans are to give sociable in Loomis' Temple of Music, the proceeds to be applied to replen- ishing their treasury. It will be conducted in an orderly and respectable manner, all inn proper persons being excluded.

AT THE HENKS.
A Word Concerning the New Haves
 Polo Team.

A Word Concerning the New Haven Polo Team.
 On Saturday evening the manager of the Lincoln riuk afforded its patrons fine enter tainment. The "Mikado combination un- der the management of MT. G. c. Bishop, came fully up to the expectations of the audi ence. Miss Minnie Drew, 8 very pretty and sprightly young lady, gave good exhib- ition of fancy skating and the juggling of Zantus was watched with absorbing interest Mr. Lincoln has secured the company for a repetition of their entertainment on Thurs day evening at the Quinnipiac rink and on Friday at the Lincoln.
 A word may be said in excuse of the defeat of the New Haven polo team at Hartford Fri day evening. It is claimed by the New Ha ven boys that they were compelled to play against professional team, not one of the Hartfords being residents of that city and all of them being old players, while only two of the New Haven men have played before this season. There is no doubt that the New Ha- ven team is as good set of amateur players as can be found in the State and allowance should be made for the above named facts in considering their defeat.
