 Election Of OmcSrs-Next COncIave In
 Waterbury.
 NEW LONDON, March 19.-At New London to-day the Knights Templar of Connecticut held their thirty third annual cenclave at the Asylum of Palestine oommandery No. 6. The local commandery exemplifed work in the order of the temple last evening, after which a banquet was served for visiting Knights. Among those present were: NJ. E., Sir Chas. Roome of New York, grand master of all Knights TemplAr in the United States; FEE, Sir Nicholas Van Slyck of Providence, grand sword bearer of the grand encampment of the United States; R. E., Sir H.

There was another crowded house last night Hammonassett tribe of Red Men of this city was present in body and occupied seats in the body of the house.

 Full houses will doubtless greet Aronsons ''Erminie" at the New Haven Opera House Friday and Saturday evenings and Saturday afternoon. Rudolph Aronson has made light opera permanent feature of amuse- ment in the metropolis, sparing nothing to make it success. Comic opera was nomad- ic until MT. Aronson made home for it at the New York Casino and brought to his as- sistance his corps of talented artists. This beautiful Moorish building has been the scene of numerous successes, but none has ever equalled the wonderful degree of popu- larity attained by 'sErminie" Even the re- markable run of 267 nights achieved by Gilbert & Sullivans ssMikado" in New York city at the Fifth Avenue Theater becomes insignificant when compared with the New York record of over 575 nights made by this everlasting success and as presented by this superb company.
