poL,'s WONDERLAND THEArEn.


 Marion Manola- Mason made her first appearance in vaudeville in New Haven yesterday at Poli's Wonderland theater. Her effort was a success, as might be expected from her past triumphs in the legitimate here. Now that vaudeville has come up to that high point in pub lie estimation where the highest and best talents can honorably be devoted new field opportunities that were not hers in the legitimate. For however much and well she might sing in opera, or however much and well she might romp ill farce comedy, there was still always in the requirements of her con- formity to operatic and dramatic stand ards something that kept her just short of exercising her highest genius. In vaudeville there is abundant room for the display of her widest versatility and best talents. MT. Jack Mason, who is associated with her in presenting a delightful eomedietta, had already like Miss Manola, won his spurs in New Haven, and it is enough to say of him that he reaches in vaudeville the best he ever attained in legitimate. The company that is supporting Miss Mano- la is a remarkably good one, making the whole entertainment unusually fine. In this company are such well known people as Post and Hayes, Mir. Morton and Miss Revelle, Miss Charlotte Par ". the Pattens, Miss Gertrude Key holds, Murphy aud Burke.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

The Sam T. Jack extravaganza com pany presnted "The Bull Fighter" to a large audience last night The play opens with a beautiful and gorgeous burlesque entitled ."The Bull Fighter" It is full of excellent singing, beautiful marches, and an immense lot of comedy work and the necessary adjuncts of a thoroughly enjoyable program, a cleverly written burlesque, with laugh able situations, the best of selected spe- cialties and a series of living pictures. The burlesque deals with the life and adventures of one Don Pedro Escamillo, a Spanish matador, who vanquishes rivals and finally stays huge bull single handed as the climax of the play. Don Pedro and the picadores and other assistants are represented by young women, and the heavy villain is the raging taurus himself.
 The finale to the first act is whole show in itself. The Salvation Army sketch is very clever. The olio opens with twelve living pictures, followed by Phillips and Robinson, the twen- tieth century girls, and the brothers LaMoyne, the wonderful triple bar ar lists. Their sketch, "The Tramp and the Athlete" is among the very best on the stage, and with it they introduce the longest somersault on record Eos ter and Lewis delight everyone with their new songs and witty sayings. Clements and Barnes hold their own in new negro sketch.
 The last act represents q bull ring in the City of Mexico The last scene is a Imaginable skit entitled The Bull Fight" The costuming is varied and handsome.
 Miss Collcoquette, most charming dancer, was also well received. Tie piece will be repeated this afternoon and evening and tomorrow afternoon. As usual with Sam Jacks companies there is a number of handsome women in the cast
 "Doyou know that that awkward, yet graceful comedian, Mir Dan Packard, and an excellent comedy organization, headed by MT James w. Rankson will appear at the Grand opera house Thurs day night, and for two performances daily thereafter until Saturday night? If not, why just take notice that they do, and that, too, in MT William Gil- lette's greatest success, 'The Private Secretary" Do you know" that no comedy now on the stage is a greater success than this from the gifted au- thor-actor's pen, and do you know that this is the first time that this bril- liant play will be sen at popular prices It was uphill work for MT. Bunnell to induce the management to remain long CT than one day, and only upon his per sonaI assurance that the Grand had none but the best to offer to it's pat rons did he succeed in getting them tc play the last five performances at the end of the week.

Entertainments,
HYPERION.

w. c. Gllbert's latest opera, His EH- cellency," will be given at the Hyperion this evening. This opera has just closed a most successful season of 100 nights at the Broadway theater, New York city The entire English company which has been sent over by George Ed wards, the Lyric theater manager will be seen here. The plot turns on the mania Of the governor of Elsinore for practical joking. It becomes with him more than a pastime-a passion of life. His daughters enter with him into the spirit of the fun, and their suitors con- tribute unconsciously to the governors deviltry. The misrule prevailing in El- shore in consequence is reported to the regent of Denmark, who in disguise vis- it's Elsinore. The governor finding the regent in disguise of a strolling player and failing to recognize him, proposes to him to array himself in gorgeous apparel and impersonate the real re- gent The regent yields. The governor is nonplussed when he sees the popu- lace doing homage to what he supposed to be the sham regent. An episode of the opera is the love scene between the disguised regent and a street flower girl. The company appearing at the 1 Hyperion in His Excellency" includes the best performers selected from among George Edwards London com pany. Sale of seats now open.
 The Whitney Opera eompany's pre- sentation of Rob Roy" may be termed the light opera event of the present, just as it was last season, and the en- gagement here will no doubt be as bril- liant socially as it is certain to be artis- tically. New Haven long since realized the value to the public of the plan adopted by MT. Whitney in the forma- tion of his superbly equipped company
 namely, a great cast with no weakness even in the minor roles, aided by all the skill of scenic artists that money can command, picturesque, yet historically correct costuming, and the whole sup plemented by the large chorus which l delighted this city last year. Juliette 1 Corden, Lizzie MacNichol, Anna O'Keefe, 1 William Pruette, heroic in voice and fig ure, and inimitable Dick Carroll, will receive, beyond question, a warm wei come like that they earned year ago. Sale of seats opens Thursday.

A terrible accident occurred on the Ak.

road, near Cleveland, Ohio. A heavy
motor car and coal car plunged through

five feet Into the chasm beneath. Two

" injured. When about hnlf way across
the trestlc the trainmen felt swaying

structure collapsed, and the cars with
their human load went with crash to
the creek below. The cars were com.
pleteiy wrecked. II Il generally believed
now that the cats Jumped the track ana
that the jar caused the iron Orders Of the
bridge to snap. There were no passengers
on the motor car--only tho crew Of three
men. Tho bridge that collapsed was a
frail trcstlc structure and was built OH
an incline, one end being considerably
higher than the other. The span across

dying Of cold and starvation. Whereas,
the blood of these martyred dead cries

the expediency Of reporting forthwith
some expression by this Government In
denunciation Of these atrocities, and IL
they find as q nation we are powerless to
act, that we invoke the cO.operatiOn of tho

France, Russia. and Germany Against

A special dispatch from Berlin says that
Russia's cooperation with Germany In
the Transvaal matter has been assured
and that France will act with Russia.
This. apparently, tends. to confirm the re.
port Of an anti-British alliance, and that
the action Of Emperor William toward the
Boer republic was thoroughly weighed
step. The dispatch from Berlin to the
London Times saying that II Is explained
that Germany desired only to protect Ger.
man residents and Its consulate at Pre-.
torla by dispatching nn armed force from
Delagoa Bay, and that no arrangement
ON the subject had previously been made
with Portugal, tended to produce a better
feeling. But this Hlight change for the bet.
ter was counterasted by the receipt OF q
special dispatch from Pretoria, capital Of
the Transvaal, saying that the Beers
demanded the surrender Of all British
rights and suxerainty over the Trnnsvaal.
and the presumption Of Delagoa Bay and
the canceling Of the charter Of the British
South Africa Company. II Is further
stated that tho Beers have arrested, on the
charge Of treason, eight leaders Of the re.
cent movement among the Citlanders ut
