The Yacht RepubIic

She was on her way from Spain to St. Vincent. Pierre and Minnie Hall, members of the owners family (Thomas N. HalD, left the yacht at St. Thomas and arrived in this city few days since. They report Captain Bowns as well, the character of his recent injuries being greatly exaggerated. The Republic made the run from the Bermudas to St. Thomas, distance of S60 miles, in four days. While sailing down with the northeast trade winds, the first night out of Bermuda, the yacht had a narrow escape from collision with full riggsd ship. Quick action, however, upon the part of the officers of the yacht, saved it from accident. When the Republic reached St. Thomas, American Consul Turner and Vice Consul Ridgeway entertained NIT. Hall and his family. Although there are several yachts cruising in southern waters, the Re public has not yet met any of them. The yacht ls expected to reach New Haven soon after May l.

SPORTING MATTERS.

Pierce is Substituted For Swords in
 Last Evenings Pelo Game and the
 RridEeports Win. to 3.
 The Bridgeports won their third game in the local rink last evening by score of 2 to 3.
 The New Haven management, wishing to try Pierce and to see how he would work with Connors, played him instead of Swords The result of the game shows the result of the exchange.
 The Bridgeports played their usual rough game. Conway and Menard, the former es- peoially, played more horse-play tricks last night than usual. In the fifth goal Conway deliberately tripped Connors, who fell, strik- ing the floor with such force as to hurt him severely. He lay there few moments and then got up and went on playing, but his playing afterward showed the effects of the fall. Referee O'Maley fined Conway $1 for this.
 Bridgeport won the first goal. Menard passed the ball from the de to Pierce, who was standing in front of the cage, and he caged it.
 The scond goal was made for New Haven by Charles Pierce. who caged the ball from the side on @ pass from center by Hill.
 New Haven won the third goal, Connors, caging the ball on pass by Pierce from the eide.
 Bridgeport won tho next goal, but lost it again on fouls. The ball was caged by Pierce on pass from Menard
 The fifth goal was won by Bridgeport, Menard cagipg the ball on 8 pass from Pierce.
 Bridgeport won the sixth goal, the ball be- ing csged by Pierce on pass from side by Menard.
 The seventh goal was made for Bridgeport by Menard, who stole the ball from Phelan and caged it. New Haven won the eighth goal. The ball was caged by Connors on pass from Phelan. Bridgeport won the ninth goal, Menard cag- ing the ball on pass from Pierce. !
 Bridgeport won the last two goals, the ! ball being caged in both cases by Pierce.
 The features of the game were the block l ing of Phelan and Hill, the rushing of Pierce and Connors and the goal-tending of Smith ! and Reed. The latter was not as all to blame for the loss of the game, as all the goals were made on drives at short range. The score:

 William Gillette's dramatization of Hag- ! gard's novel s'She" at the Hyperion Theate, last evening drew quite large audience. ! The play is as mystical and nonsensical as the novel, and was certainly interesting to | those who had read the latter. The scenery was quite elaborate and represented the deck ! of an Arab dhow, the "Head of the Ethiopi- an, the cave of the Amahagger the under. ground palace of "She," the charm of the rocking stone and the "Cave of the Fire of Llfe," all of which will be at once recop- nlzed by those familiar with the story The palace was the most elaborate set and called forth deserved applause, as did also the final scene. MT. Gillette has introduced all kinds of mechanical and electrical effects and en- tlrely new and original pyrotechnic displays. These and the scenery were all that made the play worth seeing, as the acting was very commonplace. In such a play, however, hrst-class acting is not essential, and ali those who desire to see the wierd descrip- tions of Haggard materialized ought to at tend. "She" will be repeated tonight and to morrow afternoon and evening and Thurs day evening.

 A big crowd greeted this rollicking comedy at the Grand Opera House last evening, and the piece as it is now produced seems fun- ulok eudu ever It QaS been rewritten and made over till one could scarcely recognize the old comedy in the roaring new one.

 The appearance of Rose Coghlan at the New Haven Opera House tomorrow evening in her new play "Jocelyn," will be marked occasion for thester-goers and lovers of legiti- mate dramas to witness fine artist in fine piece of art. The climaxes of this play is said to be intense and powerful. The char acters delineated by Miss Coghlan is one pe- cnliar interest, and admirably fits her superb, confident, regal, womanly bearing wherever she appears upon the stage. She should be greeted by large audience.

REApING IRON WORKS FAILURE
Tho Worst That Has Occurred In the From Trade For Years-A Poor out look For the Creditors-Extravaga ManagemeRt.

LOOK For the Cfe0ltOfS-EXtF2Va&8
 Management.
 PHILADELPHIA, March 25.-Tne Reading Iron Works failure is one of the worst that has occurred in the iron trade for years and the concern is now in a decidedly perilous condition. Among iron men the opinion prevails that unless prompt action is taken the creditors will get little or nothing. The plan of re- organization prepared by Director George F. Baer is said to be impracticable and it is not likely that the creditors will adopt it. Most of the creditors are op- posed to a reorganization, and the only way to get any money out of the concern is to appoint receiver. It is be- lieved that this course will be accepted The concern has been very extravsgantly managed and vast sums of money have been wasted in recent years. The salaries over $1 1000 amount to $10O, 1000 a year. Nearly all of this sum could have been saved and will be saved un- der an economical receivership. E. W. Colt, the president of the company, has been getting $20, ,000 year and Frank Ralston, the secretary, $1O,000. There are number of other high salaried officers and this enor- nous obligation of nearly $10O, 900 year has helped to carry the company down.
