Entertainments. HYPERION,

The production of Edwin Royle's well known play, "F riends," at the Hyperion last evening, although witnessed by rath. CT small audience, yet was deserving of large house and merited we'll the rounds of applause which it received. Selens Fetter- Royle, as Marguerite Otto," a singer in the Metropolitan opera house, was very pleasing in her role of 8 rising opera star. E. D. Lyons, as Clans Otto," father of Marguerite" acted well the part of an old musician in the power of man who wished to marry his daughter against her wishes. Henry Bergman, as Harold Hunting," director of the Metropolitan opera house, was fine in his impersonation of an interruptions william. Edward Mil ton Royle, as "John Paden," a poet, and Lucien Henderson, as "Ad- rian Karje," pianist, in the character of two true friends gave a vivid portrayal of the extent to which the strength of true friendship will endure. MT. Henderson in his piano recital gave truly fine produc- ton of some difficult music from the mas- ters. MT. Boyle in his easy way of min gling the comic with the tragical, was good. Harry Allen, in the cast of "John Paden, Sr.," father of "John, Jr.," was very pleasing in his imitation of an eccentric business man.
 The audience was highly entertained, and showed it's keen appreciation by fre- quent hearty bursts of applause and en- cores. This is the last production of "Friends'' for this season.
 Quoh If foIopf ot ono concert as will be heard at the "Pop" this evening at the Hyperion, assures delight full musical treat, and the public appre- ciation is shown by the large sale of seats. As has been announced, the great Victor Herbert will be here. but that Is not all. As has been stated, some surprises were in store for the public. Ono of the sur prises Is that the greatest trombone soloist of this country, Herr Justus PfeiHensnsid- or, trombone solist of Damrosch's orches- trs, will positively appear and favor the audience with solo. He has selected that most beautiful song from Tannhauser, "The Evening Stsr," as his solo, to be &C., companied by the full orchestra. Miss A. NJ. Weed of Stamford, the so- prsno wko ts on the program for 8 solo, is very favorably spoken of in Brooklyn and New York, where she has often appeared in concert and oratorio.
 Nr. Seymour Spier, too we'll known to New Haven's audiences to require any fur ther introduction.
 Popular prices will prevail, tickets can be purchased at all music stores and at the box office.
 Tomorrow evening Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll will deliver one of his most ia nous lectures, that on "Lincoln." This lecture is one of the most inspiring of the great natursl orators productions. The Bostonisns are to begin two night and matinee engagement at the Hyperion, opening Friday evening. The always popular "Robin Hood" will be sung Friday night and Saturday af- ternoon and 'The Maid of Plymouth" Saturday evening. H. 0. Barnsbee, W. H.
