Al Hragnifcent Production at the Opera
Hnuan Last Nlehk.

A MAGNIFICENT Production at the Opera
House Last Night.
The first production of "Ben Hur'
was given in the opera house last night
in the presence OF a large and enthusi-
astic audience. To try to express the
grandeur of the scenic effects is scarcely
possible They were indeed marvellous.
Adding to this the costly and beautiful
costumes and the enhanced beauty of
the young ladies, together with the
stately appearance of the actors, and a
program was rendered which reflects
much credit on the managers.
Each character was well portrayed.
Reuben Brewer, as Ben Hur, was prob
ably the star performer, and it goes
without saying that he is by no means
an amateur. His presence and acting
were admirable. Major F. A. Spencer
as He1od, although but a short time be-
fore the audience, sustained his part
well. William G.. Hungerford, N. D.
Grannis, George Fl. Benham, F. w.
Ingraham, whose fall in the fight with
Ben Hur was a fine bit of acting, F.
Barbour and I. Warren, were all re-
markably good.
| OF the ladies, Miss Florence Lynde as
Iras probably took the lead, closely fol-
lowed by Miss Mary Holohan as Amrah.
| Miss Lucy Pierpont and Miss Selma
Kaiser as mother and sister of Ben Hur,
performed fine piece of acting. Miss
Eta Young also deserves mention. The
reading of the exciting "Chariot Race,
by Miss Florence Smith, caught the au
dience by storm. The young lady is 6
pupil of Professor Russell and her elocu
tionary powers are remarkable. Miss
Marion Buck as queen of the fairies
danced at once into favor. The dancing
of the butterflies, the drill of the naiads
as well as the drill of the Roman sol
diers, under major Carter, were al
features which served to make an enjoy
able treat. The last scene, especially
was a spectacle of beauty. One mus
see it to appreciate it. It was simply
magnificent and the calcium light
never showed a more beautiful effect
The spectacle will be produced again to
night

FoREsTERs' CONVENTION.


The Salaries of the Grand Secretary and
Treasurer Increased.
The convention of the Grand Court of
Foresters closed yesterday afternoon, at
Middletown. 1t was voted to hold the
next meeting of the Grand Court in
Danbury the second Wednesday in May,
1898. AS an inducement to large at.
tendance one of the delegates arose and
promised a new hat to every delegate
present at that convention. The COM
mittee on laws reported some i'm
portant changes. The salary of the
grand secretary was increased 5000 per
year; the salary of the grand treasurer

Interest in the Waterbury Beef Co.
NJ. Guilfoile has sold half interest in
his beef and provision business to the

contemplated.
Mr. Guilfolle is one of the best known
meat dealers in Waterbury,. He is the
oldest in the city in point of service,
having entered the business twenty-si

three meat markets. He has reputa-

understands every detail of the business.
The McEl1oy brothers of Bridgeport are
all well and favorably known in Water
