Farland has become famous by his playing of classical selections on the banjo. He has attracted attention of the musical world wherever he has appeared. His playing is said to rival undreamed of possibilities on the banjo. After his first appearance in New York the severest of all journals to please, the Musical Courier, said:
 INT. Alfred A. Farland's work on the banjo, on the occasion of his first public appearance in New York Tuesday night at Chickering hall, was sufficient to convince the most skeptical that the in- strument is unlimited" and the Herald said: MT. Farland's rendering on the banjo Of Beethoven's eighth violin son. ata, Paderewsli's minuet and a noe turn by Chopin, surprised even the ex- perienced banioists present. His bril- liancy of tone, technique and phrasing were simply marvellous''

EAST HAVEN SCHOOL DISTRICT.
Instruction to the Committee Indefinitel
 POstponed.


 Postponed.
 A district meeting was held last ey- ening on the question of school site. The meeting was called to instruct the committee on condemnation not to pro- ceed further, as it was desired to change the site. The room was crowd ed and the meeting promised to be a lively one. Before any vote as to the instructions to the committee could be taken, however, motion was made to indefinitely postpone the matter This was put to @ vote and resulted 54 to IS in favor of postponement. There is a faction which is opposed to the school, and it has been working to delay the matter as much as possible. This has caused much dissatisfaction among the opponents of the school, and the latter turned out in force tonight, determined to beat the ring" It is believed that they will be successful, as the report of the condemnation committee is to be made Friday night, and when that re- port is made the district will have to purchase the land, as the present own CTS can by law collect the amount fixed as it's value by the condemnation com mittee.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

One of the novelties of the season is Leavitt's spectacular pantomime bur lesque Spider and Fly" which has been entirely rewritten and reorganized this summer in Europe, which will com mence three days engagement at the Grand Opera house tonight. It has been presented in other cities with a wealth of beautiful scenery, rich and dazzling costumes and armor, magnifi- cent transformations and many novel specialties, among them the reigning craze, the "Trilby Dance," and has scored an immense success everywhere. All the costumes are new and made in London from special designs by the fla nous French costumer, Charles Alias, and imported by Manager Leayitt at a great expense. It is impossible to touch upon many features of the perform ance. Suffice it to say that they have been most highly spoken of in other cities, and that the artists have almost without exception scored big hits in their respective roles. The novelties are all new and up to date. The scenery is described as being gorgeous and daz- zling. Matinees Friday and Saturday.

poLr's WONDERLAND rHrArEn.

To those who like comedy, and nine ty-nine out of every one hundred do, this weeks show at Pol's Wonderland theater is exceedingly attractive. There are several sensational features, be- sides which tend to make it additionally interesting. Charles Wayne, the star n-maker does some very clever com edy work, mingling song and dance and tumbling in an exceedingly effective manner. He is far better than when he appeared here as the principal come dian for Lillian Russell. MT. Stanton and Miss Bedding are fully as clever in their bright society comedy sketch entitled "A Happy Pair" in which they illustrate the divergence of an estrang- ed couple and the happy reunion of lovers when the wife has brought home to the husband the reasons of the es- arrangement. Very interesting also is tho wonderful sharpshooting with Win chester rifles done by the Misses Cooke and Clinton, as we'll as the other spec ialties presented by the Lamont fami- ly, the Golden trio, MT. and Mrs. Bates, Ollie and May La Vine, and MT. Lourey and Miss Francis.
