 Hyperion.

HTP9F1Ons A noteworthy occasion of the musical sea- ! son now closing will be the brilliant concert I to be given tonight at the Hyperion by the Boston Symphony orchestra, which under the l leadership of Mr.Wilhelm Gericke has proved
 that it is possible in this country to hear
 music as finely rendered as in Leipsic or Vi- enna. The programme is substantially the 1 same as given at recent concert in Boston which elicited the enthusiastic admiration of an immense audience by it's brilliant and joy+ ous character Beginning with Beethoven's noble overture to "Egmont," the second number will be an aria from Meyerbeers
 "Prophete" by Fraulein Meisslinger, who will later contribute @ song by Liszt, 'fDie Drei Zigeuner," both with orchestral acconapani- ment A notable number will be the Suite in five movements, in which is introduced every effect known for an orchestra, written by the talented young Russian MoszkeNeki, whose compositions for the Iianofore areNso popular in America.
 The Handel Largo, which is played by re- quest, will display the magnificent quality of the string department of the orchestra. which has been much >d in every city where it has been heard

 The new signal system on the New Haven division of the Consolidated road between WoodIawn Junction and Stratford Sand Pii went into effect at noon Friday and worked like charm. It will be complete to New Haven at noon to-day. By visit to tower s8, west of the railroad bridge, it was learn. ed from Mir F. F. Hunt that the new system comprises twenty-five levers at Bridgeport, five for east bound and six for west bound trains or the New York and New Haven division, and six for the Housatonic division, the remainder being for various purposes in the vicinity. Levers representing west bound trains cannot be moved until signals from the tower east of i5 have been received and vice varaa. The interior of the tower has all the anpurtenances of a frst-elass telegraph of- fce. and three men, Measrs. Hunt, Mitchell and Calvin, are in charge, the tweHty-four baurs being equally divided.

Metropolitan Theater.

l. w. Baird's Mammoth Ministries had
large audience last night. 1t is an
! especially good variety troupe. Modern
| negro minstrelsy has made such wide de-
parture from its original that there is now
very little resemblance between the two.
The jim Crow style, and which was
| very faithful copy from the plantation
revel and river boat frolic III the " cruel
slavery days has almost wholly departed
the present generation knows very little
of it, and even the tradition of that charac-
| ter OF entertainment is fading In its
place we have the moderniZed burnt cork
| low comedy and variety actor, who cannot
be accepted as representative type of the
| old-time plantation hands" whose love
OF melody and rude attempts to provide
themselves with musical instruments and
time-keepers > gave birth to the banjo :"
and the bones, and to that mimicry
| known as minstrelsy. Baird's company
Is up to the best modern standard. 1t is a
| showily and even richly costumed COM
pany. Its programme is exceedingly full
and varied, and every act is clean cut and
the very pink of neatness. There is not
so much of mirth, of minstrel fun,
IN it as in most companies, but
a good deal more OF dancing and drill,
and farce and parade. There is a fine
quintet club, an excellent group of skillful
hand-bell ringers, platoon of clog-dancers,
as axophone sOloist, falsetto male singer
OF remarkable voice, two good tenors, and
an excellent basso profundo. Besides these
are four eccentric comedy actors, and a
! lightning handler of the musket-Maior
| German. The orchestra is superior, and
the ballad singing of the best order among
minstrel troupes. The same is to be said
of the Leech Bros. in their banjo and pos
ing exhibition. The company, twenty four
in number, is too numerous to name the
specialists, since all are of even excellence.
! We have had vocally stronger minstrel
companies here, but instrumentally none
| better, nor any that in variety and neatness
and discipline surpassed Bairds. A matt
nee this afternoon at usual matinee prices,
a complete change of programme tonight,
and final performance tomorrow night.
Tonight feature of the bill will be a new
burlesoue on the opera " Ermine.'

digestion, relieves sick headache, clears the

BASEBALL.
The Alta Players Being Scooped by
San Francisco Managers

San Francisco Managers.
The outlook for baseball in this CITY
next season is almost discouraging. The
Alta Club has been released from the Cali
fornia League to give way to club from
Stockton. Why this change has been
effected is not known. The Bay clubs
have surely received their receipts for last
season, and in fact a great deal more than
they really were entitled to. The fact of
the matter is that each one of the BAY
clubs got over twice what the Atlas re-
ceived out of the receipts. and they now
complain that the Atlas are hogging
things and want the earth" It is also
said that each of the Bay clubs made more
on their visits here than the Atlas did
when they visited the Bay, although every
time the latter club appeared there they
were greeted with the largest audiences of
the season.
" The reason why Stockton slips into the
league" said Manager George. is because
there are some wealthy citizens there who
are lovers OF the game, and they have
guaranteed that the Bay clubs upon each
visit to Stockton will receive certain
amount, and to make up delinquencies
these men will go down into their pockets"
However, the Atlas will not be organized
this year, IS some of their best PLAYERS
Newbert, Anderson and Mullee-have
signed with other clubs. The rest of the
crack players of the Atlas are also likely to
be " scooped in " by the managers of the
Bay combinations
There can no doubt be found in this city
a good local team, but they could not ex-
cite such public interest as the Atlas have
done. Baseball is evidently to be q thing
of the past with Sacramento.
Snowflake Park will surely become an
elephant on the Directors and stockholders
hands if baseball dies out.
