 THE GILMORE CONCERTS
 MT. F. S. Gilmore and his famous band gave two popular concerts at the Hyperion Theater yesterday afternoon and evening. When the time for commencing the afternoon concert approached MT. Bunnell's well known manager, Mr. E. M. Morton, stepped before the curtain and announced to the audience that on account of an accident to the train which carried the band to this city the musicians had only just arrived at the theater, and he therefore asked the indulgence of the audience long enough to allow them time enough to unpack their instruments and put on their uniforms This request was readily granted, and after about half an hour of waiting the concert commenced. It goes without saying that the concert simply added one more to the long list of MT. Gilmore's successes. The band played magnifcently and many of the se- lections and solos received hearty encores. In the evening there was an unusually large attendance, even for Gilmore concert. Six of the ten selections were heartily encored ,and after the applause which followed Meyerbeer's | ssHuguenots" overture had subsided the cele 1 brated "Patrol of the Ours Club" was given. | The soloists, Messrs. Raffayolo, Lax, Matus and Lefebre were all excellent, and the fine \ singing by Miss Letitia Fritch added to the | enjoyment of the evening. These two con- l certs illustrate how surely Mir. Gilmore has ! found his way into the hearts of the people. l In all his work there is an enthusiasm which renders him irresistible and fairly gives him | the title of Americas greatest band master. His visits here should be more frequent. THE SILVER KING.
 At the New Haven Opera House last even- l ing fair sized audience witnessed the pre- sentation of ''The Silver King" play which has been we'll received here on former occa- sions The audience of last evening was an l enthusiastic one and manifested hearty ap- preciation of the well written drama by ire l quent applause. The part of Wilfred Den ver the Silver King, was well taken by MT. Carl A. Haswin, an actor of sterling ability and worth. His stage presence is good and | his acting is characterized by forcs and ener- | gy Miss Ethel Grey brooke as Nellie Denver ! won favor by her careful work iR her part; | her conception of it's requirements is an ex- | eellent one. The balance of the company is | in the main good and the scenery and mount | ing of the play excellent. The presents | tion as a whole is pleasing one and deserv- | ing of full houses, which it will undoubtedly draw this and to-norrow evenings and at the | Saturday matinee.
 | BUNNELL's GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 
 "Under the Lash" was presented at the Grand Opero House last evening to large and enthusiastic audience. The many thrill ling situations were received with every I manifestation of delight.

The seals in the museum hall are still drawing big audi ! ences.
