The first rehearsal of the New Haven Orchestral club, for the season of '94- 95, was held last evening at their rooms in Masonic Temple.

It was decided to give all of their series of concerts in the Hyperion, which h the only place in the city large enough in which the orchestra shows up to advantage. The club has enrolled for this season forty-four members. The member or subscription list is now open. Application blanks can be had ol members.

THE LOCAL VIEW,

Democratic politics are becoming de- cidedly warm and it is expected that the state convention, which will be held in this city next Tuesday, will prove more than usually interesting. From the present outlook it does not seem probable that any of the guberna- torial timber so far proposed will suc- ceed in carrying off the coveted plum, at least not without contest and per- haps prolonged struggle.
 Thus far a number of names have been proposed for the gubernatorial chair, prominent among which are those of B. c. Benedict of Greenwich, Lieu tenant Governor Ernest L. Cady, of Hartford, Judge Morris F. Beardsley of Bridgeport and Hon. Radcliffe Hicks of Holland county. Each of these can didates have some backing, but Judge Beardsley of Bridgeport is clearly in the lead and may possibly succeed in carrying off the coveted nomination.
 The delegates to the convention from Hartford will oppose the nomination of Ernest l.. Cady for gubernatorial hon ors, even though MT. Cady is resi- dent and prominent manufacturer of the city of Hartford. There are fifteen delegates from the capital city who will be present at the convention and they will work tooth and nail against the nomination of MT, Cady. Already an emissary has been sent through the state, visiting New Haven, among other cities, and endeavoring to quietly bury the Cady boom.
 The choice of the Hartford delegates for governor will be Judge Morris F. Beardsley of Bridgeport and they will work for his nomination with all the ability which they possess. They will also support George B. Day, vice president of the Pope Manufacturing company of Hartford for a prominent place on the state ticket and claim that they will be able to succeed in landing him. It is an open secret that mem Der of the delegation has been to Judge Tenn and asked him to accept the nomi- nation for governor and that the judge has declined the honor.
 From this statement of facts 1t is apparent that everything is not har- monious in the democratic ranks. The present indications point to the nomi- nation of Judge Beardsley, but should the contest be prolonged, it is more than probable that a dark horse will be trotted out and become the nominee of the party.

THREE BULLS EYES.
The Record Made By The
Daley Company.

Pink Dominoes, +" that bright.
piquant, naughty but nice, and
rollicking comedy was presented
to a very large audience, on
Saturday evening last. at the
Hawaiian Opera House, by the
members of the Daley Stock Co.
The audience present IN the
boxes, dress circle and parquet.
were representatives of the best
of Honolulu society and included
many, very many, persons who
bad witnessed the play in great
cities of the East. and were con-
sequently familiar with the
worldly" character of the pro-
duction. That the actors of the
parts in the cast played well their
parts, and that the audience,
missionary and heather :
enjoyed most thoroughly the
double entendres was made patent
by the continuous applause given
during each act of the perform
ance. The play was most I'M
mercifully cut by the manager,
but sufficient life was left in the
lines to allow Mr.. Darrell Vinton
to show up most thoroughly his
versatility as an actor in the fun
making part of Justin Tubbs,
most decided opposite to Edmond
Dantes, the Count of Monte
Cristo 50 successfully personated
by him a few evenings previous.
Miss May Nannary had but
little scope but, as usual, acted
well, as did others of the cast,
notably SO Mrs, F. NJ. Bates who
has, in every character presented,
shown the finished actress. Miss
Josie Gassman had a single
turn" of her own in the catchy
song Wont you come out and
play" with a very modest skirt
dance. To say that she made
hit is unnecessary, she obtained
an encore md very nearly had the
curtain hoisted again. Connors
as Brisket was lively and had an
able adjunct in W. B Ash. The
audience stayed till the last ADD
smiles were on all faces on depar-
ture. The suggestion is again
given to the actors that the asides
and soliloquies INDUCED in, back
from the footlights. cannot be
heard and many a good point is
thus lost to the audience. To-
night, Forgiven. and on Wednes-
