He Forgot His Name.


 IL ia not an unusual thing for @ man so- burning in big city to coms home to his hostelry SO fatigusd that he is not cure about his own name, but a guest in the Palmer House found himself in stranger predicament than that yesterday. A we'll dressed gentleman with a close-cropped beard walked up to the cashier and asked for his bill. He wanted to make train in fifteen minutes.
 "Whst is the psmel" asked the cashier.
 A startled look came into the guset's face, and mumblipg some excuse for not snswering the clerks question, he turned away and paced up and down for 6 minute or two. Then he rushed to the register and scanned its pages eagerly, but without any apparent relief. The hotel people began to regard him with suspicion, but
 MT. Townsend finally approached him
 kindly and asked what was the matter.
 Then the guest confessed. He ssid he had come to the hotel the day before and had registered under sn assumed name. "There are some people In this city, said he, "Whom I did not want to know was here. but have forgotten the name put on your register"
 The books were overhauled, and finally the name was found in time to enable tn, man to reach his train. The name he had | used was N N. Short, but hs told nobody his real eognomen.

A RIG SALE.

over Five Thousand Dollars Worth | of Patti Tickets Bought-The Spec. | u.atIve Klement Not Eftensive- | Previous FurefeS.
 The sale of tickets for the Patti concert 1, yesterday was . big success and it was the largest on record at the Hyperion and the largest Patti ticket ssle made this season in any city of New Haven's size. From one hundred in line for the sale Sunday night the number in line had increased to 200 at the time the sale opened at g o'clock e. ID. The one hundred or more who had bean on duty all night came up all fresh and smiling, despite the long weary wait ing and vieils of the night, thanks to Manager Bunnells kindness to the throng in providing them with steaming hot coffee and palatable eand wiches.
 The sale lasted five hours before the line was broken, but after that there was @ thronR of buyers for hours picking up the remaining seats left over after those in the l line had secured their allotment of ten tickets each. It was @ big sale and J. 8. LewburRher, Paths agent, who was here, expressed much satisfaction with the l amount of shekels the sale brought In and New Havsn's evident great de ! Blt0 tO ueht tuo SIoat eluk0I. Al suo ] conclusion of the sale yesterday there were I but few tickets unsold and these were mostly in the $4 section. Without doubt the Hyperion will contain an immense audience Friday evening and it Is doubtful l If the standing room in the theatre will suffice for all who were unable to buy seats. Quite large number of the tickets sold here were taken by out of town peo- pie. Rooms for Patti have been secured ct the New Haven house. She travels in her own special car, which is one of the very finest ever turned out by the Pull man company. No greater furore to buy time when Bsrnum brought Jenny Lind to this city, and that was on a smaller scale. She sang in old Brewster hall where the Second National bank is now. New Haven had then about half the population it now has, but | the excitement was great. Another occa- sion when public interest was at fever hest was over the sale for the Charles Dickens readings, and by some error or oversight there had to be 8 second sale to correct the errors of the first. At the first sale many
 were disappointed and urged that they did not have fair and equal chance with others. This coming to the notice of MT. Dickens he directed the agent, MT. Dolby, to rectify the error, and at the second sale every ybody was sstisfed that everything had been done fairly and equitably.
 Also at the sale of tickets for the concert
 here by Nlllson, the world famous singer
 and for the histrionic efforts of Sara Bern
 hart and Ristori in years gone by, there
 was great competition. Marcus Mayer, thu
 world famous agent and manager, is Pattfi
 manager for this, her farewell tour. Hi
 many friends here will be glad to greet
 him here sgain, but 1t is somewhat doubt
 full if he visits this city this time as he ha
 been confined to his hotel in New York b,
 illnees for 8 number of days.
