gaVotte from "Manon." After this last she was recalled and forced to repeat the last stanza,
 At o'clock there was given what in many ways was the most delightful of the miscellaneous programs. The Hyperion was crowded with listeners. The Musical Art club of women's voices consisting of about fifty of the best voices to be found in Bridgeport, and directed by Miss Marie G. Bissell. This club made such a fine impression here last year that great interest was felt in their singing this year. The selections this year are more ambitious than be- fore, but they sang with 8 great finish as before.
 Miss Bissell is an admirable director. She has the voices under perfect con- trol and they are able to make won derful effects because they sing so well together. Every phrase is so beautiful ly rounded off The enunciation is good and the quality of tone very lovely.
 Mrs. Elmer s. Beardsley is their &C., companist, the same as last year.
 Mir Isador Troostwyk played Vieux- temps "Fantasie Appasionata'' and
 
 most enthusiastically received. After the first party of men from the or chestra who were standing at the side down stairs, forgetting that they were in cold-blooded New Haven, shouted Bravo! Bravo" As these men are the severest critics this was fine com pliment to MT. Troostwyk's abilities. He was obliged to grant encores after both numbers, the first time playing Pierne's "Serenade" and the second a "Pizzicato' by Francois Thome. Mrs. Brooks of Meriden, who has fine rich contralto voice, sang with excellent style two songs by Hanley and MT. Harrington of Hartford sang two songs by MT. John S. Camp.
 In the evening the Oratorio society of Bridgeport gave Handeps Messiah" /" Space will not permit a detailed ac- count of last nights admirable per- formance was given in these columns when the work was done in Bridgeport and last nights work was on just as high level The fresh quality of tone of the voices and the spirit which MT. Damrosch puts into his readings make last night one long to be remembered. Much enthusiasm was shown through out the evening. The soloists were Mrs. s. S. Thompson of this city, Mrs. Vir- ginia P. Warwick of Hartford, MT. Will liam Rieger and Mr. Ericson Bushnell. Mrs Thompson and Mrs. Warwick are and have been always conscientious ar lists and MT. Rieger and MT. Bush nell are the well known to need fur there laudation. MT. Bushnell aroused the greatest enthusiasm of the evening by his singing of Why Do the Ma tions'' The orchestra played very we'll indeed and everything connected with the performance was highly cerditable. The audience was one of the largest ever in attendance at an oratorio con- cert in this city.

MANAGER PoIr IN TROUBLE.
Called On to Stop Fight Behind the


 Manager Poli had heaps of trouble on his hands last evening. It was all the fruits of the ladies' dancing contest which has been in progress during the week at his Wonderland theater.
 The five young ladies who have en- tered the contest for the gold medal which Manager Poli has offered for the best dancer have been occupying the same dressing room during the week After every performance they got to discussing the applause received by each, and considerable bitterness de- veloped among them. Last evening, while two of the girls were excitedly claiming that no one else was in it. they lost their temper completely and began to claw each other. At once the other three jumped in, and in about min- ute there was more excitement behind the scenes than if a whole cage of Bar num's wild cats had got loose. The girls were scratching, biting, pulling and clawing, and the stage hands were helpless. Manager Poli was hastily summoned, and when he arrived behind the scenes he finally succeeded in re- storing order.
 The genial manager then sought out Insurance Agent Hill and took out a six days accident policy.
