gia Company" 1t is presented by a
strong company of colored capable ar
lists and during the evening a host of
specialties are introduced fully in

roLr's WONDERLAND rHEArrn.

To see a real cake walk artistically
done drop in at Polls Wonderland
theater and see Billy Clifford and Maud
HUH go through the amusing steps.
1t is without any question the most
skillful burlesque, the lordly strut and
pompous pose of the artists being most
amusing. And when at the close of
the walk they take the cake from the
judges hands they show most artistic
ally the actual facial expression of the
winners at real walk. Their whole
act is equally amusing. There are many
brilliant features to the speciality bin
also. Notably clever artists are Muir
ply and Mack, the three brothers Ma
thias, Thomas e. Glynn, the Sisters
Gehrue, Mr.. and Miss SaVan, Lucier
and Greve, and Mr.. Monroe and Miss
Melrose. Drop in at the Wonderland
and see the cake walk if you want to
have a hearty laugh.

There Was Fair Demand for Interna-
tional Stocks.

There Was FAR Demand Tor lnterna-
tional Stocks.
New York, April 29.-This was a
rather dull day at the stock exchange.
In the early trading higher range Of
prices prevailed in sympathy with re-
ports from London of firm market for
securities there.
The advance was equal to 14@B per
cent. in the general list, the latter in
Chicago Gas, while Consolidated Gas
moved up from 1853 to 164&, the highest
figure yet attained. There was a fair
demand for international stocks for
London account The reduction in the
price of refined sugars, however, and
advices from Germany that the reichs-
tag would probably pass the sugar
bounty bill led to a decline in Sugar
stock from 1241a to 1925, and this weak
ened the whole market. A report that
the American Tobacco Trust would be
enjoined from paying the scrip divi-
dend, recently declared, led to de-
cline in that stock from 72A to 70ia,
but a recovery to 711A subsequently
took place.
Speculation closed about steady in
tone.
Following are the closing prices re-
ported by Prince & Whitley, bankers
and brokers, 46 Broadway, New York,

DEATH or Ex-JUDGH BRAY.

EX-Judge Charles A. Bray died at his
day morning at 11:45 o'clock. He had
been in an unconscious state since
Monday and since then his death had
been hourly expected. He died of par
alysis of the brain, which followed pro-
longed suffering from cancer on the
back of his neck and for which he had
undergone several operations, but to
4 no avail. His case had been pro-
nounced hopeless several weeks ago
Judge Bray was out on Chapel street
a few weeks ago and transacted some
business matters and called upon sew
eral old friends. He was one of the
most influential public men of Fair
Haven East for long series of years.
He was a genial man and years ago in
his prime no man in the borough came
anywhere near possessing the knowl-
edge of estate and property interests In
the borough that he did. He was a
walking encyclopedia of facts concern
ing estates and property values in the
borough and no man in the borough
was more consulted on such matters.
His office upstairs over his stove and
tin store was official headquarters or
the borough for information on these
and kindred subjects; and he was a
very level headed man, well posted and
an excellent adviser. Many will feel
that in his death they have lost true
and loyal friend.
He was one of the oldest members
N and it is said was one of the founders
\ of the Second Congregational church,
where also his wife attended.
Judge Bray was seventy-two years
old and had been LIFELONG resident
Y of Fair Haven. He was q native OF
East Haven, born in the upper part OF
the town near the North Haven line.
His father was Hoadley Bray, after
whom the late Hoadley B. Ives, who
was president of the Fair Haven and
Westville Street railroad, was named.
4 His father owned considerable real es-
tate in what is now the annex. Charles
A. Bray established a stove and tin
! business when young man and con-
| tinued it the greater part of his life,
handing it over to his son, Charles E.,
few years ago.
Judge Bray was occupied throughout
his life with the business matters of
the town, and held nearly all the offices
connected with it. He was for many
| years probate judge of East Haven be-
foer that probate district was included
in the New Haven probate jurisdic-
/ ton. He had been tax collector many
Al years, and at the time of his death
n held the position.
Judge Bray represented his district
n in the legislature and was senator for
one term. He leaves two sons, a
daughter and a widow. The sons are
Charles E., who is in business at Fair
Haven, and Evelyn, who is a con-
ductor on the Consolidated road. The
last named was severely injured in a
bicycle accident few days ago, and
has been unable to be present at his
fathers bedside during the latter's
fatal illness. Arrangements for the
funeral are not yet completed.

HYPERION.

Mr.. Augustin DAILY presented Miss
Ada Rehan and his celebrated company
of comedy players at the Hyperion
theater last evening in his latest sue
cess, THE Countess Gucki'' Miss Ada
Rehan has not been seen in this city
for six or seven years, and her coming
was a welcome event During these
years she has become famous on both
sides of the Atlantic and her name has
become household word. In this time
her acting has broadened and deepened
and she has acquired assurance and
perfect technical mastery. These have
been the outcome of considerable hard
work, constant application and study.
Time has brought some changes that
are not SO admirable. Her mannerisms,
the gasp, the gush, the gurgle in her
speech, the shipper, all once the means
to an end, have become so pronounced
las to be almost offensive. Moreover, a
certain buoyancy and vivacity of man.
her that once carried everything before
them have vanished and she seems to
have become languid and indolent
Whether this is the unfortunate result
pf excessive adulation or of the trivial
character of the farces that Mr.. DAILY
produces we do not know. However,
MIR. Days company is always delight
full and we are glad of an opportunity
to see them in this city. The audience
asst evening was not as large as the &C.
easion deserved.

Fan be said. 1t is the latest of Mr.
Dalys adaptations from the German

The first act Is excellent, but the others
hre very slow. The climax occurs in
he second and the third is anti-climax
rhe dialogue is not as good as Mr..
baly has given us before. The parts
eiyen to the rest of the company are
hot well calculated to exhibit their tai
lnts most successfully. The new lead
ne man, Richman, is distinctly clever
Ind competent. He is the young man

played dangerously well to remain with

A group of wheelmen were talking about
the various trades that had been affected
for good or bad by the craze for wheeling.
There's just this much about it," said a
man who holds a responsible place in one
OF the largest bicycle concerns. 1T has

had a most amusing experience of that
kind last Sunday. A party of us took an
almost entirely new run. or. at least. Ii is
little known among cyclists vet. When we
got to the end of the route we went to a
very quaint old hotel, and quite a number
of cyclists were there for dinner. Mine
host did the hospitable act very well. and
told everybody that his was a cyclists no
tel. Finally | said to him:
This is a beautiful town up here. /
think I'll give il to one of the papers to
publish. and that would be the same as a
hundred dollar advertisement to you. you
know. for when a run is published cyclists
always understand that no matter now
small the place there is a hotel where you
can get something TO eat.
We'll. if you could have seen that pro-
prietors actions after my pieasantries. Fly
around and wait on me ard give me the
best of everything he had on hand? Not
much. He Immediately grew very suspi-

beat him out of a dinner. All the men in
there caught on and they guyed me UNI
mercifully.
Cant you make the rifie?' said one.
Won he bite?' asked another, and a
third put in:
- guess among us all We can raise the
money to set you a meal, and all this right

This made him more suspicious than
ever. Finally / got enough CT il and said:

Your experience is an everyday one"
spoke up a man from up in West Seventy
second street. "Didn't / have almost the
same experience at a little unheard of Jer-
sey hotel. and a friend of mine was almost
put out of a Long Island house because he
told the proprietor he was going to have
the run TO his place published. and in the
same breath ordered a bottle of wine. The
man actually made him pay for it in adj
vance. It's too amusing for anything. Cy-
clists and newspapers have done more for
these country hotel men in the last year
than they could ave done for themselves
in twenty years and still they suspect ev-
erybody. oh. well. they'll learn after
awhile
IF they don't. maybe their children
