 THE NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.
 It takes more than floods and pouring torrents to keep people away from the Wilbur Opera company, with Susie Kirwin as the magnet and entrancing prima donna. In fact to tho little lady belongs more than the. general term of prima donna, and that of popular and captiyat. ing Susie Kirwin, loved by the public in general and friends in particular, seems to best fit her. However, there were too large audiences yester- day at tho matinee and evening performances, and the steady stream of people seemed happy in entering the cosy New Haven opera house in the anticipation of the musical and comedy treat before them.
 In previous years the company have gained e splendid reputation in this city and the perform ance given last night only added more laurels to their success. Tho opera given last night was: s.The Black Hussar." It was not tho best in their repertoire, but it was given with spirit, and the pretty march and specialties introduced made it highly satisfactory performance
 In the company this season are several familiar faces, who are remembered as members Of the company on previous engagements in this city First there is Susie Kirwin, then the handsome tenor Conley and W. H. Tredeniek and VI. H. Kohnls, who arc funny as % eyer A. principals. He made very favorable impression. The chorus has been increased in number and is well drilled. The same statuesque blonde led the pretty march introduced in the third act. The specialties introduced wore goed. The wilbur quartstts, Shay, the female imper- speciality and Ed Brown and his harmonica selec- tions were all good. The engagement in this city promises to be . most successful one to the very limit To-day at the matinee and evening "Bocaccio," with It's abandon of action and catchy music, will be given, with Susie Krwin as the somewhat rapid and romanciag lover of beauty and romance. Tomorrow ssEr- minis'' will be given.
