 HYPERION THEATER.
 The reorganized orchestra of the New York Symphony society will give it's first concert this evening at the Hyperion, un- der the direction of MT. Walter Damrosch Of Herr Adolph Brodsky, the New York Herald says "The audience recognized the excellence of Herr Brodsky's work, and not only applauded vehemently between the three movements of the concerto, but recalled the player so consistently at the close that he responded with beautiful performance of the first part of a concerto of Bach for violin solo.
 Of the 'Limited Mail," which will be the attraction tomorrow and Thursday, with special Thanksgiving matinee, the New York Clipper says: Elmer E. Vance's realistic comedy-drama, "The Limited Mail," abounds in thrilling situations, while the mechanical appliances are de- cidedly realistic. The limited mail is the nearest approach to @ genuine train of cars we have seen in stage realism.
 Miss Helen Barry will appear Saturday evening only in "A Nights Frolic." The same company will appear as in Boston. Miss Barry by hard and conscientious laborss, abetted by true devotion to her art, has achieved a prominence in the dramatic Armament that is as illustrious as it is deserving, which being the case, is specially worthy of note. With such splendid company, in one of the most en- tertaining of comedies-a comedy such as one can thoroughly enjoy-with every de- gree of satisfaction surrounded by stage settings, which are in themselves works of art, surely it leaves little, if anything, to be desired in the way of an evening of perfect pleasure.
 The great military drama ''The Soudan" comes for weeks stay November 30.
 GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 Webber and Fields Own Speciality com pany opened three-nights' engagement to a packed house last evening. Weber and Fields, the two German orators, are we'll known in this city and proved that they were we'll worthy of the applause rendered them. Johnson, Riano and Bentley, in their act entitled "The Monkeys Frolic With the Farmer" furnish fun for every body, and Mr. Johnson also makes some very difficult jumps during the teams turn. Maud Huh, in her negro refrains, was en- cored several times. John and James Rus sell, as the Irish lilies, made the audience wonder whether it was John and James or Mary Ann and Maggie. Morris Cronin, the athletic swell, is the finest club swinger and club juggler ever seen in this city Swift and Gran, with their ear load of music, 'Do It" in every respect. The en- tertainment closes with burlesque, en- titled "The Two Offuns," which is very Imaginable.
 Milton Aborn's Opera company will hold the boards the last three days of the week, giving an especial matinee Thanks giving day. Thursday and Friday the tuneful opera "Said Pasha" will be pre- sented. Great scope in costuming has Qeen gwen the management and 1t has taken advantage of it. The rich Turkish dresses used in the harem scene are of the finest possible material and manufacture, and the same may be said of the rich India costumes used in act second in the raiah's palace. The scenery and mechanical eff fects were prepared especially and are finer than those used in Philadelphia and New York. Saturday matinee the New York Casino success 'tErminie," and Sat- urday night ''Mascot."
 BELLS DIME MUSEUM.
 John Sonwell, the snake charmer, has a collection of live rattlers, with the fangs in good working order, which he handles to the queens taste. The sixteenth exhibi- tion of the illusion, Rock of Ages, was given last evening and is certainly the most picturesque of any illusion ever before pre- sented to the public.
 The New York Symphony concert last evening drew an audience of the elite and music loving people of Hartford that filled to its utmost capacity the Foote Guard armory of that city. The delighted audi ence rated this concert one of the very best organized. Mme Ritter Goetz won an instantaneous and enthusiastic triumph. Manager G. B. Bunnell will be present with the company when they appear before New Haven audience tonight and a con cert of the most elevated order is assured for the large audience that are sure to be present.
