 The local events which will occur throughout the week will add much in terest to the attraction, and on Monday night, the occasion of the opening, will doubtless be the greatest and most in teresting of all. This will be New Ha- ven Night" and the set pieces of Mayor Hendrick, together with the other spe- cial features, coupled with the fact that nearly all the prominent men in town will be there, should attract a crowd without precedent in the history of out door amusements in this city. We'd nesday will be "YaIe Night" and the famous blue that has been seen in the van of innumerable contests will pre- vail in everything. The portrait of Bob" Cook will be given, and famous Yale men will appear in set pieces. Friday will be another celebrated event. It will be Political Night" and every one who can vote should go and see the portraits in fire of their favorite candi- dates. Major Mckinley will be illumi- mated On one side and William C. Whit ney will appear on the other. It will be great opportunity to test the feel ing of the multitude and see who is the more popular.
 On Saturday, June 27, for the first time in this city, a matinee perform ance of this grand spectacle will be given. Pains celebrated day fireworks will be used, many novelties will be in troduced, and the pictures and special ties will be given in their entirety. This will afford a splendid opportunity to ladies and children who are unable to attend the evening performances. As the public schools close on the day pre- vious 1t will doubtless attract great number of children, who will begin their holidays in an appropriate man. ner by witnessing one of the most in- nocent and interesting of amusements. From an historical standpoint alone, the display and spectacle is an educa- ton in itself, and children will learn more about the recent war in two hours than they would from school books in two years.
 Some of the specialties which will be introduced are: Fukino's celebrated Japanese troupe of acrobats from the imperial court of the Mikado, imported directly by MT. Pain; the world-re- noWned Herbert Brothers in their dar- ing and startling performance; the marvellous lady aerial artiste, Mile. Ve- "a; the Japanese lady ballet; Emil Ascher's celebrated military band and orchestra: and the sensational dive of one hundred feet into two feet of wa ter.
 The railroad company has been mak- ing strenuous efforts to accommodate the great crowd which they anticipate next week; and in addition to their own cars have secured every available one in the city. It is the intention of the management to make this the greatest event that has ever occurred at Savin Rock. and no stone will be left unturn- ed to handle the crowds with comfort and despa tch. The seating capacity of the grounds has been enlarged, and there is now room to accommodate 15,- 900 people.
 One of the events of the week, which is sure to attract great deal ot atten- tion, is the bicycle parade in front Of the grand stand on Thursday, Bicycle Night" The special prize to be given to the most graceful riders of both sex es is arousing much interest. The con- petition will be keen, and many beau- tiful costumes will doubtless be dis played.
 Considering the magnitude of this en- terprise and the great cost of the pro- duction, together with the innumerable special features and specialties which will be given, the price of admission, which is 9 cents, is remarkably small; and it is only on account of the size of the grounds and the large number of people that can be accommodated that it is possible to give such a gigantic entertainment at so reasonable a fig ure. The choice reserved seats will be 25 cents and 50 cents extra. The sale is now in progress at Loomis' music store on Chapel street. With every ticket that is sold a coupon is given which will entitle the bearer, in case of postponement on account of rain, to equal privileges on any other night during the engagement.
 The attraction appeals to all classes < of people, the rich, the poor, the stu dent, the artist, the man of business, s the ladies and the children. There is E not an objectionable feature of any H kind Pains fireworks have been in s existence in London for over one hun E dred years, and it is with special pride E that he asserts that during the life of E his father and grandfather and throughout his own long career the ex-
