Entertainments.
 

Miss Margaret Nather and her excellent company presented "Romeo and Juliet" to c large and delighted audience at the Hyperion Theater last evening. The immortal love tragedy never received 8 more satisfactory interpretation in this city The company is a strong and evenly balanced one and every member of it is thoroughly capable artist. Miss Mather has greatly improved her imper- sonation of Juliet since she last ap- peared here in the same character. At times she was inclined to oVeract, but in most of the scenes she was very charming because she was so natural. MT. Frederick Paulding made an excellent Romeo and won much deserved applause for his actor Mir. Milnes Levick was never seen to better advantage than last evening. The role of Mercutio is we'll suited to him and always makes him a favorite with the audience. There are other members of the company who also deserve special mention. MT. Petus was very funny as her servant. The orchestra, which was increased for the occasion, greatly added to the pleasure of the evening. To night Macbeth" will be given with Miss Mather as Lady Macbeth, MT. Levick in the title role and MT. Pau1ding ss Macduff. There will be large audience.

The Medal to Com mem0rate New Ha-
 ven's 25Oth.
 J. Hitler, of Meriden, has designed a med al on the celebration of the 250th anniversa- " of New Haven, and it has received the %ndorsemsise of the committee on medals. The first one that came into New Haven was received by Town Agent Reynolds Mon- day, and of course the latter is justly proud of it.
 On one side of the medal is the old oak tree, with John Davenport and his little band of listeners standing within it's shad- ows. In the background in the rear of the oak are Indians. Overhead of the oak is bust of the 1amented divine, circled around which is the name "Rev. John Davenport" At the bottom of the medal are the words: "In commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the settlement of the town of fNew Haven, April 25, 1SSS." A very correct picture of the lower part of the Green is shown, with all the walks crossing and recrossing each other. Three churches and the liberty pole stand out in bold prominence, and away in the distance can be seen East Rock, with the soldiers monument on the top. Below all this is the towns seal. Between the two small lines which form the base of the Green is the name of the designer in so small letters that the naked eye cannot de- tect them.
