Entertainments.
THE BoSTONIANS.

The Bostonians had their usual large audience at the Hyperion Theater last even- ing. Golfers comedy opera, Dorothy" is we'll suited to this excellent company, which has been considerably strengthened since their appearance here last season. The old favorites, Marie Stone, Tom Karl, W. H. Mcdonald and H. O. Barnabee had roles adapted to the several abilities and all won repeated and we'll deserved encores. The two new faces, Miss Jessie Bartlett Davis and Miss Carlotta Maconda, both deserve special mentisn. Miss Dsvis has well cultivated contralto voice and is possessed of most at tractive stage preAence. She at once became 6 favorite and divided the honors of the even ing with Miss Stone. Miss Maconda's voice is not a powerful one, but it is very sweet, and her modest manner well became the character of "Phyllis." The chorus has been enlarged, and with the orchestra did excellent work under Conductor Studley. The scenery used was all especially construct ed for the opera and was by far the best ever exhibited by this company. The features of the evening were the quartette, "You Swear to be Good and True," which is the most catching air of the opera; the chorus, "Your Grace, Good Night" suggestive of "Ermi- nie," and the "Tally-hon chorus, which closed the second act, and secured a triple encore. Taken altogether it was a. very enjoyable and meritorious performance. Dorothy" will
 
 "Mignon" will be given. Both operas will receive large audiences.
 NEW HAVEN OPERA ROUSE.
 The Rentz-Santley Novelty and Burlesque company gave a thoroughly enjoyable per formance at the New Haven Opera House last evening before a large audience, which ap
 preciated the bright and sparkling variety of the entertainment. The performance began kl,, ,daxxs laA s'West Point Cadets and Vassar Pets" intro- ducing Messrs. Lessrs. Lester, Allen, Buck ley, Mills and Kellogg. Miss May Adams rendition of "Little Boy Blue" won recall, while Paul Allen and William Kellogg kept the audience in continuous hilarity by their excessively ridiculously antics. Billy Buek~ ley is great favorite and his topical songs and ludicrous monologue of story and song made a great hit. Miss Millie Price did so well that she received several recalls. Diff fcult skipping rope dancing was done by Ida Siddons, who claims the distinction of being the worlds champion in her line. Lillie Markham is fine contralto vocalist and sang the beautiful ballad ''The Picture on the Wall'9 to the stirring music of the French national hymn, the 'Marsellaise." Acts by William Lester and Paul Allen were mirth- provoking and warmly applauded. May | their novelty sketcAes of bright and witty songs and sayings. Miss Annie Hart, an old favorite of the vaudevilles, was well received. The programme conelud- | ed with the burlesque entitled "Konrad Kor- sair, or Pasha's Beauties," by Edwar Smith, | with original music by Musical Director | Charles Loanburg. Pauline Batchelder proved pretty and charming Haidee, the Pasha's | favorite wife, and made quite hit by her elevef impersonation. Incidental to the bur- lesque was the appearance of the lady fsncers, \ introducing the great Sara. Billy Lester brought down the house in this burlesque. l He was presented with bouquet of flowers.
