 BUNNELL'S MUSEUM. Everyone should at some time see "Uncle Toms Cabin" and an excellent opportunity is afforded this week at BunnelPs. The pre- sentation of this play is seen by crowded houses and receives great applause. Daisy Markoe as ''Topsy" plays her part remarks bly, well and the rest of the company are strong support. The singing of the Alabama colored students is an interesting feature.
 RIP VAN TWINKLE.
 Rip Van Wrinkle will be presented at Carll's Opera House Friday and Saturday evenings and Saturday matinee by Robert McWade and his excellent company MT. McWades acting is unsurpassed and for if teen years his name has been associated with the grand portrayal of Irving's "Vagabond the continent he has been received with en- thusiastic applause.
 THE LITTLE JOKER.
 f-The Little Joker" will be presented in the New Haven Opera House Friday and Satur-
 
 Carrie Swain and an excellent company. The play is of the school which is charac- terized by such acting as Lotta's, but Carrie Swain is school by herself. As "Chirp, the Little Joker," she appears several characters with impersonations that are at the same time ludicrous and perfect. The play is full of fun aud is everywhere we'll received
 MIR. LINCoLN's READING.
 The sale of seats for the Mir. Frank Lin coln's entertainment, to be given at the New Haven Opera House on Monday evening next, will begin this morning at g o'clock at H. H. Pecks bookstore. Those who wish for de- lightful evening of enjoyment should not fail to attend. MT. Lincoln won his great reputation as a humorist first from 8 critical London public. The London Court Journal said of his entertainments: s'Mr. Lincoln exhibited his marvellous power before de- lighted audience. He possesses such extra ordinary versatility that it is impossible to qualify his accomplishments otherwise than by denominating them as universal There is 8 freshness of style and an originality of conception, combined with rare ability to seize the humorous or grotesque side of those incidents which he illustrates that make his entertainment peculiarly enjoyable. Mr. Lincoln kept the audience in 8 continuous roar of laughter" The Yale Glee club and the Yale Banjo club will also contribute to the enjoyment of the evening.
 MAY BLOSSOM
 There was a fair-sized audience at Carll's Opera House last evening to wit ness the first presentation in this city of May Blossom" by the Madison Square Thea ter company. 'May Blossom"is a very pret- ty love story, full of telling situations. and furnishes plenty of opportunities for first class acting. Its dialogue is made up of pure fun and real pathos. After once seeing the play one can easily account for the wonder ful success with which it has met. In it and in Hearts of Oak" the author has shown his ability to construct interesting, effective plays Of course the interest last evening centered in Miss Georgia Cayvan's interpretation of the title role. This is 8 character which Miss Cayvan has made her own and her artistic presentation of the Virginia maiden won the hearts of her auditors from the first. It is not only on account of her perfect elocution and most pleasing stage presence that this favorite artiste commands so large 6 share of the applause, but because she so completely sinks herself in her part and makes her audiences feel that she means every word she utters. It was this trait in her acting that in the more seri- ous scenes brought tears to the eyes of so many. Miss Cayvan is charming act.ess, and we wish her visits here were more ire quent. All the other characters were splen- didly taken. Mir. Joseph Wheelock played "Steve" very effectively. His splendid acting in the third act was interrupted with de- served applause. MT. Maginley plays "Tom Blossom" as he plays everything and heartily MT. w. H. Crompton's splen- did impersonation of tFUncle Bartlett" de- serves special mention. His conception of the village preacher could not be improved. !! All the rest of the company were good, and Tor once, at least, our theater-goers were | treated to frst-class metropolitan enter
