A tasteful, well hung Win dow Shade is an evidence of responsibility that no we'll ordered house can afford to be without. An ill-looking, ill., made one is strongly suggest i've to the outside world of an ill-regulated, ill-cared for house. hold.
 If it were impossible to get good shades at reasonable hg- ures there might be some ex- cuse for the million. There is none. Good shades are not high-priced. If they ARE a little more than poor ones, the worth of wear and looks will more than pay for the differ ence. ii
 In the shade. to-order sort there's nothing finer than John King & Sons Scotch Holland. Skilled shade-buyers know it well. It comes in handmade transparent and opaque tints. Several new styles and fringes to match the colors. For shade, excellence nothing equals them. All others have to stand down.
 Quite as much depends on the making up and right hang ing of a shade as in the mate. rial it's made of. It's a thought worth thinking out. The peo' pie who do that business fol us are past masters at it. Nc patchwork would be tolerated here.
 A good, sound reason fol early buyers is that the goods we talk about are here, yet al old season prices. Most shade sellers have been obliged tc clap on the eighteen per cent rise that the sbade-market al ready calls for.
 If you have preference fol a ready-made shade you'll fine plenty here in the new styles O plains and dadoS at the same rate.

The New Haven Athletic Clubs Sec-
 ond Exhfbition-Two Contests for
 the Gold Medal-SOme Amusing
 Feats.
 The second exhibition of gymnastics by the New Haven Athletic club at their gymnasium in Exchange building was given last night to the delight of large crowd of both sexes. The music and decorations were as on the previous evening. There were two contests for the gold medal of fered by the club, one in the standing high jump, in which H. F. Hotchkiss came out ahead with a jump of feet 24 inches, winning points, S. G. Crabb points and c. R. Dayton 1 point; the second in the running high jump, in which W. H. Corbett won 3 points on jump of feet ] inch, s. G. Crabb 3 points and H. P. | Hotchkiss and G. P. Starkweather each point.
 There were two sparring matches, both quite interesting, as might be expected. | The first was between W. H. Corbett and O. F. Bradley, in which both were dexter ous, but Bradley sometimes got rattled his adversary. He was clever in dodg- ing, however, and when he got Con his ear" Corbett suffered for it. The other boxing match was between l light weights, c. E Dobson and 0. S. Roberts. They were very evenly matched, the former exhibiting the greatest dexteri- l ty, but the latter being the most powerful l and chasing his opponent all around the field. Both matches consisted of three two-minute rounds.
 The vaulting was tie between w. H.
 Ballou and s. G. Crabb, their vault being
 feet 34 inches. The fencing was won
 by c. s. Roberts by a score of 5 against 9
 of H. Schlissel. The rope climbing was remarkably close, S. G. Crabb and E H, Eggleston being tied no less than four times, the scores being 2-5, 5 3-5, 5 1-5 and 5 2-5 respectively. Perhaps the most remarkable event of the evening was the kicking contest. G. Teichert kicked | above his head with both feet, and as high as he could reach with his hand | with one foot; but being 8 short man he | naturally could not come. up to his oppo- nent, MT. Christie, who, with legs like a stork, made 8 kick of no less than g feet, B inches-each time sending the tam bourine swinging to the other end of the hall. There were also feats on bars and rings, and the program closed with an amusing wrestling match-"catch as catch l cau Tor tne Dest two out OI Cufee 1alls,
 between c. T. Lamb and w. H. Crobett,
 the former winning the first fall in B l minutes and the second in minutes. s. G. Crabb won the championship of

 gold medal, making the greatest number

Entertainments,

"The Private Secretary" which will be presented to-day-matinee and evening" is one of the brightest and wittiest com | edies that was ever constructed to carry out the happenings of everyday life, the incidents and harmless accidents of a household, domestic experimentation of humorous obstacles, most dexterously knitted together to form an interesting plot; plausible story-and yet, bubbling over with the most ludicrous, laughable events that only 8 genius like Gillette" could conceive.
 The celebrated English artists, Mir. and Mrs. Kendall, will tomorrow present 'The I Ironmaster" at the matinee and "The Queens Shilling" at the evening perform | ance. In England they occupy Q unique position, without any parallel in this coun- | try. They are not only regarded as great actors, but have recognized social stand ing. It is not usual there to find an 1 actress who is the personal friend of the queen and who numbers among her ad- l mirers and friends the most exclusive of | the English peerage, yet Mrs. Kendall is | such an actress, and when united to that, ono finds an artist who for years has been the pride of England, one sees indeed a combination that is anomalous. Monday evening Madame Sara Bsrnhart | will appear in her matchless impersona- | ton of La Tosca and Wednesday the U. s. Marine band will give one of their delight full concerts.
 GRAND OPERA HOUSE. "Jim," comedy drama in four acts was presented last evening to good sized audience. The presentation was decided success and was received with most ener- getic expressions of approval by the audi ence. The company is an unusually com potent one and acted we'll their various characters. Special credit is due to Steph- en Wright, Edward E. Rose. the author of | the play; Homer Granville and Miss Paul l inc Willard. "Jim" will remain through out the week with special holiday matt | nee this afternoon at 3 o'clock.
 The Rose Hill English Folly and Bur lesque company open three days engage ment Monday.
 PRoCToR'S OPERA HOUSE.
 "Little Lord Fauntleroy" will be the at- traction this and tomorrow afternoons and evenings. The play is we'll known to theater goers in this city and will no doubt draw we'll. It is most delightful play and most charmingly acted. On the whole Mrs. Frances 'Hodgson-B dramatiz- ation is not only successfully arranged, but interesting as an acting piece to remark able degree. The company is thorough ly competent one and is headed by Carl Haswin and little Ada Flemming.
