A DECIDED SUCCESS.
The Entertainment Given by Madame Pote Last Evening one of the Events of the Season.

The Entertainment Given by Madame
 Pote Last Evening one of the Events
 of the Season.
 The literary and musical entertainment given by Madame Aurilla c. Pote and pu- pills, assisted by the Misses Schneeloch, at Warner hall last evening was one of the distinctively musical events of the season. The spacious hall was we'll filled with 8 large and thoroughly appreciative audience and the various numbers of the program were we'll received. The stellar feature of the musical portion of the program was the singing of the Schneeloch sisters, solo, duet and trio. It is doubtful if they were ever in better voice or sang more sweetly and with better effect than last evening. In the harmony of movement, which consti- tuted the second part of the program, they were equally successful, while Miss Matte Schneeloch, clad in beautiful Grecian cos tune, was simply grace itself and the cyn- cosure of all eyes. The solo, ''Mulder's Stac- cato Polka" by Miss Millie Schneeloch was perhaps the gem of the evening, and was rendered in fine voice and with excellent effect. In the duet, "Ich Fuhle Demem Odem, ,' tho clear and strong con- tralto voice of Miss Emma Schneelock was heard to excellent advantage and formed an excellent second to her sisters soprano. Each of the young ladies was repeatedly encored and the recipients of numerous floral offerings. The readings by Mme Pote were exceedingly well rendered. as were also those by Miss Zue McClaire and Mrs. A. M. Drummond. The entertain ment was most fitting close of Madame great credit upon her and her methods in her capacity of elocutionist and teacher. She wss also the recipient of several hou- anets and baskets ot flowers,

Team Recovered.

G. H. Robinson, the iveryman, has re- covered the team which was stolen from him last Friday. The team was hired at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and the same evening the man, who gave the name of Booth, in company with woman drove to Bridgeport. The next day he drove to New Rochelle when he got short of funds Not having money enough to pay for the keeping of the horse he left it at stable, where MT. Robinson recovered both horse and carriage. The thief was undoubted- ly intending to sell the team in New York city.
 1t seems that the woman had to borrow money to get home.
 Upon her arrival here she sent word to Robinson of the whereabouts of his team. MT. Robinson does not know who the wo- man is. His horse was not much injured.

NACOLL NOT READY,
The Court Threatens to Dismiss All
 the Indictments


 The question of fixing day for the trial of the indicted New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad directors came up before Judge Van Brunt yesterday in the New York court of oyer and terminer.
 Counsel of the directors said they were ready for trial any day the court might set, but the district attorney said he did not know when he would be ready.
 The court suggested June 15, but the district attorney said number of murder trials would preclude his getting ready by that date.
 Judge Van Brunt then said he would set the case for June g, but District Attorney Nicoll replied that he could not say that he would be ready at that time.
 "Then the indictments will be dismissed" :" retorted the court
 "All right, sir," replied MT. Nicoll, to which the court replied sharply: "I don't propose that the district attorney shall try cases just when he pleases." The case will come up again before final action is taken

The DOctor,s Horse.

The disappearance of Dr. Leighton'a horse and carriage caused that gentleman much uneasiness yesterday afternoon. He went about o'clock to make call at the Yale divinity school and on coming out found that his team, which he had left in the street, was not there. He sent word to that effect to the police and then walked home. Later it was returned, having been taken by mistake. It seems that two students who room in the same block hired team for the afternoon, and on coming out, supposing this one had been left for them, took it and drove of, leaving the doctor in the lurch.

THE ORANGE STREETS WIN.
An Exciting Game on the Howar, Avenue Grounds Which Is Forfeite, by the Sagwas.

An Exciting Game on the Howard
 by the Sagwas.
 Yesterday afternoons game at the How ard avenue grounds between the Sagwas and Orange street was for blood and was stubbornly contested until the seventh inning, when the Orange Street batters fell on Pitcher Tracey's curves with a ven geance. A o-bagger, three pretty singles, augmented by daring base running, gave the Orange street four runs They now held the lead to with every chance of winning. Their best batters were up and Pitcher Tracey and in fact every member of the Sagwa tribe was badly rattled. In the eighth inning Chief Basserman discover ed that one of his men had taken French leave, not caring to witness the obsequies of his companions Chief Basserman then blandly requested the Orange Streets to lend him a man to take .Horan's place, the missing second baseman. This, according to the constitution, was clearly illegal and Captain Beecher discreetly declined, sug gesting to Captain Basserman that he play Manager Laram of the Sagwas, who was on the field. The "chief' and his men CAou ulu u SuOSU uduco duO ToGlTeu to Iue solitude of their wigwams.
 The spectators were disgusted at the action of the Sagwas and "kicked" con- siderably thereat.
 The contest was see-saw until the seventh inning, when the Orange forged ahead on streak of hitting. In that in ming Sturtevant led off with two bagger and scored on Neary's liner to left-center for base. Captain Beecher then hit safe ly, Weary scoring and Beecher going to second on the throw in. Beecher stole third and scored on A. Beecher's single. The latter got around to third and was left there, the next three men going out. Here the Sagwas were emetamorphosed into kickapoos and indulged in madness.
 The work of Joe Winchell, the Orange Street pitcher, was superb, and his curves completely mystified the Sagwa batters. They made but two hits in seven innings, and nine men struck out.
 Lacey was hit hard at opportune mo- ments.
 Umpire Sullivan awarded the game to the Orange Streets by the score of g to 0.
 The score of the contest was as follows:
