Entertainments.

Harry Kernell's new novelty company had packed house at the Grand last night. The show is good one throughout. The per- formance opens with Fred J. Huber, the ec- centric character comedian, and the talented actress and vocalist, Kitty Allyne, in their own original act entitled "Plessant Dreams :" in which they display their spseialties to good advantage. The three Carnos caught on at once. Harry KeIlell in his We!ks and Talks was encored several times. James Reilly in original specialties, was very blessing. Miss Lillie Selbini did some t1dly mervelous feats on 8 revolving globe. Frank Bush, the fa- vorite mimic, brought dow "a the house. His jokes were fresh and it ssome1 a3 if the au- dience by the applause it bestowo1 upon him expected him to give the whole show. The gymnests the Breatz brothe.s and the Aus tralian clowns the DaTrows received favora- ble comment. In the museum hall can be seen practical silk culture. Tonight election returns will be read frsm the stage.
 LYDIA THOMPSON.
 Lydia Thompson has not been seen in this city for many years, though she is an old favorite here. She always brings with her 8 choice array of artists and never fails to pre- sent a really good entertainment. Lydia's burlesquers in their new extravaganza, "Fen- elope,n can furnish diversion for all. The company appears at the New Haven Opera House tomorrow evening.
 DRIFTING APART.
 The new domestic drama, Drifting Apart, D by James Herne, will be produced at the Fly perion Theater tomorrow and Thursday even- ing with Thursday matinee. The Brooklyn Union says: "The play is success and one in which there is more that might be called good than what might go under the head of rnediocrity. It appeals strongly to people in all conditions of life and the characters in the main as we'll as the details of the play are drawn with excep tional truthfulness."
 HYPERION THEATER.
 Margaret Mather appears in "Romeo and Wednesday and Thursday evenings of next week. Duff's Opera company in 8 "Trip to Africa will appear there next week Friday and Saturday.
 J.K, Emmet, the same merry old Fritz as of old, will make his only appearance this season on Monday, November 12, at the New Haven Opera House.
 ARs. ALICE J. SHAW.
 Mrs. Shaw, the wonderful whistler, and her company of artists, will appear at the Hyperion on November 9th. The sale of seats will commence at the box office of the Hyperion on Wednesday morning at 9:30. See advertisement for scale of prices. Mrs. Shaw will undoubtedly draw one of the larg- est and most fashionable audiences of the season, as the fame of her great triumphs in other cities has preceded her. The novelty of the performance will only add to its charm. How she produces her marvellous effects hes been variousiy described. The Philadelphia Press says:
 Mrs. Shaw shook out her train, slowly rais- ed her music, turned her black eyes furtively on her friends in the box, and calmly pursed her full red lips It wasn't quicker, but e tight drawing of the lips, held slightly, the white part of the face just above the upper lip and below the nose all drawn into little fnrrows and a heavy line extending all round under the chin. The pianiste thumped few more bars and Mrs. Shaw suddenly shot out the opening notes of Arditi's dainty, lively, and running ell Bacio." The sound was first like that of piceolo well played, only softer and more engaging. Every note was taken truly, and the shading was at least amazing A big smile had come out on the faces of the auditors as soon as Mrs. Shaw began, and when she finished they were laughing and vociferously applauding. They had not only heard but they had seen her do it.
 CLARA LOUISE KELLOGG.
 Connecticut's pride, the world renown- ed, the peerless operatic artist who has not only in the land of her birth but also in Lon- don, Paris Vienna, St. Petersburg, Madrid, and Berlin achieved imperishable renoWn as a soprano, whose concerts have been one series of triumphs, not only in the concert hall but also the lyric stage, will after her lengthy so- journ in Europe make her Ie-entry in New Haven on the evenings of Monday and Tues day next, the 18th and 18th, at the Hyperion, presenting on the first date Verdi's ever pop ular I'll Trovature" Gin English) surrounded by brilliant galaxy of operatie stars. While visiting Vienna on her summer tour she heard the great tenor, the Chevalier Labatt, at the Imperial Opera House, and although his terms were extravagant1y high, yet in older to render the work contemplated as nearly perfect possible, she secured him. This tenor will make his debut in America in New Haven next Mon- day in 'n Trevatore" Gin English) and it is confidently expected will (as he has invariably done in Europe) electrify the New Haveners. He is the fortunate possessor of 8 robust tenor voice and is essentially the dramatic tenor of the period. Gan easily take the high c in the well remembered adieu in the prison scene. Now that the election excitement is on the wane let us as 8 relief turn to matters sesthe- tic and artistic and warmly welcome Ameri- ca's pride and her brilliant coterie of renown- ed operatic birds. An elegant circular anent the Kellogg can be secured free ct the Hype- rian. Now, go and get one. Seats commence to sell on Thursday.
