The sale of seats for the public rehearsal
of the Oratorio of the Redemption next
Friday afternoon will begin at 9 o'clock
to-day at the Hyperion. The rehearsal
will include all of the soloists, the orches-
ira, organist and the chorus, and will be
exceedingly interesting. A big rush for
seats is expected, as hundreds of people
have been unable to get seats for the eve
ming performance. Orders for $50 seats
have been received from out of town, but
the sale at the box Office to-day takes the
first chance. The librettos will be ready
at the music stores tomorrow noon. The
sale for the evening concert is unparalleled
in the history of the society and bril-
liant testimonial of public favor which
must be very gratifying to the society. A
special train on the Canal road will bring
patrons for the concert from Southington
and intervening towns and Norwich

Mr.. CoggsWen Attacks the Judges,
Cave Tradition - An Interesting
Relic Presented to the Historical
Society.
The largest attended meeting Of the His
torical society of the season was held last
evening. One interesting feature of the

Harrison of a large square cedar block
which had the following inscription at

This red cedar block is part of one of the posts
of the stockade which surrounded the church in
Branford in 1864. The church itself was strongly
built Of logs, SO that it might be safe place Of
refuge for the inhabitants of the town whenever
they should be attacked by the Indians, and the
stockade formed its outer line of defense. This
block is presented to the New Haven Colony His
torical society by Samuel o. Plant of Branford,
February, 1891.
The paper Of the evening was read by
Mr. F. H. Coggswen on the regicides. It

A British Omcer's Grave-Steps to
Donate the Plot to New Ravens
Historical Society.
Daniel Trowbridge recently made an
offer to the Historical society of the tract
of land in West Haven containing the
grave of Adjutant Campbell of the British
army during the Revolution, who was
killed in the attack made on West Haven.
The offer was made by Mr.. Trowbridge in
behalf of o Miss Alling. The society is
in favor of accepting the offer but have
referred the matter to the Messrs. j. NJ
Townsend and one other of the park com
mission, who have not reported yet. The
object of the gift is to protect the grave
and the small tombstone, which is stand
ing, from further molestation as it has
already been defaced materially by curios-
ity hunters who have clipped pieces from
the stone as relics.

-Creditable Exhibition Drill-Many
Military Guests-Delfghtful Music.
The annual ball of the National Blues,
which was held at the armory, last even
ing, was not only one of the most memoir
able ever given by the company, but was
one of the grandest of the many elaborate
military balls that have ever been held in
this city. The armory was very hand
somely ornamented with the historical
decorations of the company, and large
number of elegant silk banners, shields,
bunting and other decorations. The Cat
ting gun, near the band stand, gave a
marital finish to the whole.
The concert by the Second regiment
band, and with the bugle calls, which were
included in "a day in camp" reminded the
soldiers of the many calls that are heard
at camp and elsewhere.
The exhibition drill by the Peabody
guard of Springfield was deserving of the
highest compliments, and was probably
| never given before a more critical audi
| ence as was evident from the applause
| that greeted the perfect execution of the
| many difficult orders. The twenty-six
| soldiers who gave the exhibition are drilled
| to perfection, and last evening we're com
| manded by Lieutenant Strong. The drill
| is a combination of military and masonic
maneuvers.
The grand march was led by Adjutant
General A. H. Embler with Captain John
Shuster, followed by Lieutenant Colonel
| F. T. Lee with Major f. g. Southmayd,
| Lieutenant F. L. Newton with Captain j.
J. Leonard, Major D. A. Blakeslee with
| Major S. B. Spooner, and several other To-
| cal officers, who escorted the visiting mill
| tary officers and who were followed by q
| very long line of gentlemen with ladies.

| ladies with pretty toilettes and attractive
| dresses. ~"
