 LARGE AND KErREsENTATIy AUDI
 ENCE PRESENT.
 The sandy Hook Opera House was crowded to the doors, Wednesday night, at the musical festival, given under the direction of Mrs Gordon, wife of DrJ. W, Gordon, and her brother, II, B, Telg- mann. The audience was a representa- tive one of the towns best people, and it WAS 2 delighted company that passed out of the doors at the conclusion of the pro- gram.
 It was late, S.l0 o'clock, when the eur. tain arose for the opening number. This was an overture by the entire orchestra, composed of about 30 persons. The se- lection was "Caiph de BaRdad," by Boirldi"u, and it. waa one of the best numb re on the program, The time kept by the musicans WAS good. There was an absence of "breaks," and the musicians were given generous applause at the close. Mir kohIcnbcurger, who was to have given a vocal solo, WAS i'll and unable to he present, and Miss Susie Carroll, who WIS on the second part of the program sang very acceptably "The Ship Love-"
 George Tugnot scored a hit in his clauoncttc solo, ''Ihc shepherd boy ." by Wilson. He was accompanied by the piano, yiolins and yiolincello. It was one of the gems of the program, and was enthusiastically appaudcd. The ability of C. B. fierce of South Britain as d cornctisr is well known, and in his sclcc- tion, "The sorg of the roses" he more than sustained his good name. It was well received The cIecutioui-t, Miss Leola BlIun, caught the favor of the audience, and in the closing number wa repeatedly recalled.
 MT Bankers vioincejlo solo was ex celent. It was "rhc Iurline song, by Platte. The audience was favored in the opening number of Part Two of the pro- gram by d trombone sob by John Moran of Danbury. He understood his instru ment, and his work could hardly be criti- cised He deserved the hearty applause which was given. Mrs Gordon's violir solo, "Massa' in the cold ground" by Mueller, was admirably done, and won her an enthusiastic encore. On the re, call she played "Home, Sweet Home, ." with variations. The flute solo of II. B. Telgmann, "The Nightingale polka, by Duran, was finely done, and was cncored.
 The closing number was 8 selection by the orchestra, ''Sobre Las Olas," by Rasas. It was given with spirit, and was enjoyed. Following the program, dancing was enjoyed by a goodly num- ber.

TO ENJOIN CARLISLE
From Delivering 81, 800, 900 Of Bonds
TO Morgan & Co.

From Delivering 81, 500, 900 Of Bonds
TO Morgan &.CO.
In the supreme court of the District
of Columbia Monday Mr.. Graves, of
New York, through his counsel, fled
suit for a writ of injunction to restrain
Secretary Carlisle from delivering to
PierpoDt Morgan & 90. the 81, 500, 900
of the last issue of per cent United
States bonds which were allotted to
him.
Graves alleges that through the clar-
ical negligence of the department the
notice OF the acceptance ofhis bid was
not properly addressed, and therefore
did not reach him in time to permit
his making the requisite gold deposit
within the time required, and that his
request for delay on this account was
improperly refused.
Treasury officials state that their &C
ton was strictly in accordance with
the terms upon which the bids were
invited, and they do not anticipate
any embarrassment from the action OF
the court.
