 The pleasant place of all festivity
 The reveI of the earth, the masque of Italy,
 It was in these days of yore when, as the poet says, Venice was "the pleasant place of all festivity," and when that city was the gayest in all Europe that the scenes of Flashing in Venice" are leid. Flashing means two or three words in English, said MT. Marwig, who originated this novel en- tertainment to be given in aid of the United Workers society at the Hyperion on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 12 and 13. 'It means festival or revelry or mas querade, and the equality of all classes at the festival. In Venice on Flashing Thurs days man of the poorest class, gondo- Her, perhaps, could offer rose to prin- cess, which, if she accepted, she must dance with him. Our entertainment is founded on this fete day of beautiful Venice. Just at this interesting part of the conversation with MT. Marwig, which took place few evenings since at one of the rehearsals, he was interrupted by lovely girl of eighteen, with beautiful brown eyes and rose-b bud face, who came tripping up. She wore 8 street dress of dark blue cloth, little slip pers, and big pale blue scarf about her shoulders. The half of small brass cym- bal was tied to her wrist by a silken rib bon. Oh, dear, MT. Marwig, she exclaimed, in such tone that it was hard to deter mine if she meant to be affectionate or inn patient, we cannot quite get that funny little half step-you know am in the Gre elan dance-please come over into this cor ner and help us. So the big handsome dancing master was dragged off by the pretty girls and they could be seen bob ping at one another behind the big piano.
 The sale of reserved seats for this de- ightful entertainment is progressing now at the box office. Seats are selling rapidly with every indication of a crowded house on both nights.
 The rehearsals will be continued to-day at Warner hall MT. Marwig will be pres ent morning, afternoon and evening.

The West Haven Team.

The statement made in local paper last night that the West Haven management had released all their players and had signed the entire Mt. Pleasant team, is incorrect. The facts briefly stated are that Manager Thomas is determined to have leading team in the Connecticut league and the poor ball playing of some of his men has lost him several games. With view of strengthening his team he has secured the services of such well known ball players as Gri&ng, Lauden- bach, Tracey, Malone and Scally from the Mt. Peasants and by retaining Legrand, Johnson, Corcoran and Lyons of the old team, has an aggregation
 which is among the strongest in the state.

QUO WARRANTO AGAIN NEXT FRIDAY,
 The quo warranto proceedings will be resumed in this city Friday. In case the counsel for Bulkeley decide to file an an- swer instead of carrying the case to the supreme court on demurrer, the litigation can be continued for months. It is not likely that the demurrer policy will be adopted. The defense will take the course that will protract for the longest period the continuance of the case in the superior court. The consel for Judge Morris will have one chance of forcing hearing on the facts at issue. In one contingency de- murrer may be filed to the answer made by the defense, forcing the case to the higher court without delay. But the chance is so small that no practicable reliance can be placed upon it. The usual method will be the filing of replication to the answer of the defense. This must of necessity in volve the taking of testimony. The lati- Jude for the hearing of evidence is in eff feet unlimited. In this view of the case the supreme court cannot be reached for months
