A LARGE AUDIENCE.

The Closing Dwight Place EnterIaIn-
 ment-Mrs. Warwick of Hartford
 and FOnarOf, the Russian.
 The Dwight Place series of entertainments was brought to close last night by the most notable one of the series. The house was full and enthusiastic. Mrs. V. P. Warwick, contralto, and Herr Max Fonarof, the young Russian violinist, were the artists of the evening in addition to Mr. and Mrs. Parsons and the quartette. Many musicians were present to hear Mrs. Warwick, who is the leading contralto of Hartford and who proved that she holds that position through genuine merit. Her first solo, the grand aria "Cinq Mars" of Gounod, was test to which the reverberating through the church with tell ing effect. In answer to hearty encore she responded with ballad, which was rendered with delicacy of expression and pathos which proved the true artist. MT. Max Fo- naroH, concerning whom much has been said, appeared for the first time before New Haven audience and it is not too much to say that his debut was a marked success. His beautiful violin showed all the depth and purity of tone which has been accredited to it, and he himself made good his claim to consideration as an artist. He has been thrown somewhat out of practice by his journey to this country and present unsettled condition, which would excuse a few false notes of which he was guilty and a slight tendency to play sharp in certain pas sages. These faults he will doubtless correct as soon as he can resume practice. He has the qualities of fine solo performer and his tone is fine. Perhaps the most remarkable performance of the evening was Mrs. Par sons "primo" in the overture to William Tell for four hands. That lady excelled in this performance for brilliancy and fire, deli cacy and power, any which has been heard from her on former occasions, and her play ing is always remarkable for these qualities, as it is even more for depth of feeling. MT. Parsons and the quartette were as enjoyable as ever and the concert closed most enjoy able series.

EAterDfiSe,

It is surprising to see the great variety of goods to be found at the little store of the Household Brass Co.,, 37 Center street. Be- sides the very large variety of their own manufacture they are continually receiving choice selections of other manufacturers. Their stock shows great care in selecting as none but fine goods are to be found in their display. They have just opened lot of silver plated solid steel table cutlery, with arabesque handles. They are very attrac- tive line of goods consisting of knives and forks, medium and dessert, fruit knives, but ter knives, nut picks and carvers in sets, with fine plush morocco and embossed leather cases. These goods are made by one of the best manufacturers in the country and every piece is guaranteed Notwithstanding the fine quality of the goods the prices are not high and many beautiful gifts can be bought for small sum.

POLO LAST NIGHT.

New Haven Defeats Danbury by a
 Score of to 2-Much Enthusiasm
 Among the Spectators.
 The New Haven team covered themselves with glory last night when they met and de- feated the famous Danbury "angels." Fully 1000 people were present to witness the game, and they yelled themselves hoarse over the brilliant playing of the home team. The teams skated to their places and Referee Daniels gave the signal to begin. A game then ensued which for fine playing has never before been equalled in this city. The two new men, Cunning and Newcomb, played beautiful game. They are without doubt as fine players as can be found in the league. Hill, at center, played his usual good and steady game, while Read, at goal, sustained the great reputation he gained while with the old Salems.
 The playing of the evening, however, was done by Connors Time and time again he rushed the ball the entire length of the rink and drove for goal. The playing of the Den- bury team, although good, did not equal that of the New Ravens. They rushed and passed well, but were outwitted by Dunning ofthe New Ravens, who ''babied" the ball all around them. The summary of the game is as follows:
