 Pains Last Days of Pompeil," which opened 8 weeks engagement at the baseball grounds at Savin Rock Satur- day night Is by long odds the most pre- tentious entertainment ever offered to the patrons of Savin Rock and the west shore. Owing to the indictment wealth CT but a very small number of specta- tors were present, but those that were there thoroughly enjoyed the entertain ment offered. the very cloudiness of the night adding to the beauty of the py- rotechnic display.
 During the progress of the historical spectacular fete an unusually fine olio of specialties is introduced. consisting of Harry LuRose, the special globe walker; Lenton Broth CTS, in their head to head and other acrobatic feats, also their remarkable hat throwing act; the N5loss Bros, the bronze statues; Lutz Bros, acrobatie and boxing speciality, and grand bal let under the personal direction of Mons. Arnold Kiralfy.
 The opening production of 'The Last Days of Pompeii," under the able man. agement of Pains Pyrotechnic Spec tacle company at Savin Rock park Saturday evening, was spectacular in every detail. It was gorgeous with its series of tableaux, grand series of wonderful specialties, inspiring music, accompanied by bewildering ballet dancing with a massive and realistic Roman architecture. For the opening production the performance was re- markedly strong, the mechanism run ming very smoothly. The audience was loud in it's praises of its successful pre- sentation and the management may rest assured their efforts to please the pub lie are being appreciated. New Haven people may truly consider themselves fortunate in having Pyrotechnist Pain in their midst The location of such a successful venture as his production in the city is bound to mean much to New Haven. The enterprise shown by both the management and the Winchester Railroad company. who assisted in bringing the production to this city, is worthy of commendat tion. There were times Saturday night when the spectator barely knew which way to look, so dazzling was the effect of the human panorama and the beauties of ! the reflection in clear water of the ar- tificial lake as the long procession of | Roman guards, slaves, senators. glad | iators and pretty robbed flower girls passed to and fro.
 | In the rear of the promenade and ! towering high above the massive and ! realistic Roman buildings of senate l chambers, triumphal arches and the great colosseum was the great vesuvius, whose eruption so powerfully clinaxel l the performance. The specialties were all good, the pleasing pictures and ! daring acts all being rendered by art l ists. The management advertises a | $1 ,000 fireworks display each evening. That they have kept faithfully that l promise was evident by the many rock l cts, bombs, lacework, water fireworks and numerous other beautiful designs including a fire portrait of Mayor Hen
 drick seen by the vast audience pres ent.

 The season at the west shore this sea.

 season, and at some their accommoda
