 Polls Wonderland Theater.

Yesterday marked the opening of the season at this house, and it was most pronounced success. The weather. was genuine show weather, attracting an unusually large audience, and the per formance was thoroughly good one in every respect. The improvements made during the summer in the hand some theater, making it still more comfortable and cosy, came in for un- reserved commendation. Taken alto- gether, the opening may be said to have occurred under most promising aus pices The Pantzer brothers, who are the leaders of the bill, did some extra ordinary acrobatic work, proving that they are in every detail fully as good as the public had been led to expect from the praises given them by the New York critics Their tricks have the air of novelty about them, making them all the more interesting to the beholder Besides this leading feature there are on the bill a long list of bright speciality attractions, three con- tributing acts being MT. Hughes and Miss Farron, Frank D. Bryan, the Baggesens, Bentley and Cameron, MT. Mccarthy and Miss Reynolds, and Udell and Pearce. The show is strong enough to draw during the balance of the week as large audiences as are sure to attend later in the season.

AN HISTORIC HOSTLERY.
The Famous stockbridge House De-

The Famous Stockbridge House De-
 stroyed by Fire Yesterday.
 Pittsfield, Mass. Aug. 31.-Fire this morning consumed the Stockbridge house, known lately as the Red Lion Inn, and removes one of the oldest ho- tels in Massachusetts and one of the most popular and best known summer hostleries in the country. The house had 165 guests, some of whom were domiciled in outside cottages Last night every room in the house was filled by one hundred guests, and the September business was to be unusu- ally large.
 The fire started at 4:30 a. m. It orig mated in the pastry kitchen chimney. where the cook had just built fire. Before help arrived the fire had made such progress that it could not be con- trolled by the local appliances The kitchen was in the east corner of the new wing, so that the guests were cas- fly aroused, and the fire escapes pre- vented confusion. No guests were in- jured, and there was no panic. The baggage of the guests was nearly all saved.
 It was half an hour before water could be got in sufficient force to SUD- ply the village from Lake Averic, two miles away, where a pump has to be used to force pressure, and no steam was on.
 Help from the Lee and Great Bar rington fire departments arrived and prevented the destruction of the Na- tional bank, few feet distant. the town offices and large busiress blocks. Much furniture was destroyed, and Mrs. Plumb, wife of the landlord, c. H. Plumb. who had one of the most valu- able collections of colonial ceramics and antique furniture in. the country, lost heavily The baggage of the guests was thrown out in the confusion, and the street was filled with valuable ar- ticles
 The house was built originally in 1773. was then known as the Red Lion Inn and remained almost intact, the parlors lying in that rart. It was famous stage house between Boston and AL bany, was enlarged in 1S46 and the name changed to the Stockbridge house. Again in 1885 and in 1899 material en- largement was made and the name changed back to Red Lion Inn. c. H. Plumb had conducted it twenty-four years, and it had been in his family since 1862 The house had an exclusive number of guests from New York, Bos- ton, Philadelphia and elsewhere. The fire will be a severe loss to the village, hs the hotel was the leading and prin- cipal business thereof Allen Tread way and J. H. Purdorson, managers of the Red Lion and owners of the Flor Ida Winter hotel, will rebuild, but the bld house, with its associations. will be missed. as that feature in a large meas lIre attracted patronage.

 Jolly Time on the Island.
 It was a select, but at the same time a very agreeable party that went from New Haven on Saturday to Block Is- land.
 The company went by train to New London and thence by steamer to Block Island. The sail down was most enjoyable, the water being as smooth as the proverbial mill pond. On ar irving at the island the party were conducted to the far famed Ocean View hotel, where quarters had been reserv- ed. A first class dinner was in wait ing, and 1t Is needless to say that ample justice was done to the tempting vii ands set before them. On Sunday and Monday members of the party went fishing, while others enjoyed the splen- did surf bathing to be had as also many of the beautiful and interesting drives around the island. The prin- cipal places visited during the two days stay were "Mohegare Blurfs,'' "Clay Head" and Worth Lighthouse" {" United States Life Saving Station, 5 United States Signal Station," "Bea- con Hill, the highest point on the is- land; ''Harbor ard Fishing Fleet" Bathing Beach," South Beach and "T:lack Rock" Some of those present were Miss Shilleto, Miss Hubbard.

roo MUCH RAIN FOR II.
He Reaches West Point, But Doesn't
 Go Ashore,

He Reaches West Point, But Doesn't
 Go Ashore.
 West Point, Aug. a,-The Dolphin, with Ii Hung Chang and party on board arrived here at l2:4b o'clock.
 It was raining hard.
 It was decided to give up the pro- posed inspection.
 Ii didn't leave the Dolphin.
 As early as 9 o'clock crowds of per sons began arriving at West Point anxious to see the great Mandarin. After that hour every north and south bound train on the West Shore and New York Central railroads brought crowds of eXcursionists, mostly women. They were in parties and many carried lunch baskets. They were not permit ted to carry their edibles about the military reservation.
 Soon after 10 o'clock the Reservation hotel was crowded with guests, men and women. Every one was anxious to learn at what hour the viceroy was ex- pected.
 At 10 o'clock great black clouds be- gan to roll up over the hills on the west side of the reservation, and there was every indication then that before Ii ar rived there would be a heavy rain storm Lis fine clothes would not sur vive even a few drops from light shower But the weather man had promised a fair day and every one hop ed that the sun would be shining brightly by the time the Dolphin ar rived
 A continuous rain to-day interfered with big demonstration here in honor of Il Hung Chang's visit to the military academy. As early as o'clock the crowds began to arrive by boat and train and by noontime there was at least 10000 people upon the ground The rain, however, precluded any out side military display, hence the drills and reception at the superintendents quarters were abandoned.
 The Dolphin with it's distinguished guests aboard dropped anchor here at 1 12:4O o'clock, about 200 yards from the | landing At the dock was stationed | Company E, Battalion of Engineers and Cavalry detachment under command of l Captain James A. Parker, Fourth Cav | airy, the latter to act as escort After the arrival of the Dolphin there was a l delay for twenty minutes and then General Ruger and three of his aides came ashore in a rowboat and were received by Colonel Ernst and Captain Wilder. General Ruger reported that 1 Earl Lii declined to come ashore on ac count of the rain. Messages were sent to and from the Dolphin and the ambassador finally consented to permit | his youngest son to land, with only a l few of his suite. During all this time l the battalion of cadets stood in line at the brow of the hill and must neces- sarily have been drenched to the skin. The earl's son and the interpreter oc- | cupied carriage with Colonel Ernst and General Ruger. Then followed a dozen other carriages, each with an army officer and Chinese representa- lives. As the procession filed across the plain a salute of seventeen guns was fired. A hurried trip was made around the post and past the superin- tendent's quarters and the distinguish ed guests then returnedtto the Dolphin, which immediately weighed anchor and started on the return trip to New York.

 FIRST ANNUAL EXCURSION.

Members From All Over the State to the Number of 500 Enjoy It-Everybody Pleased and Happy Result of the Ath- letic Contests-It Was the Last Trip of the Victor to Pawson Park.
 The steamer Victor took its last sail to Pawson Park of the season yester- day, carrying about 800 members of the I. o. H. of this city, all parts of the state being represented.
 A committee met the visitors at the depot at an early hour and escorted them to Belle dock. After a pleasant sail of an hour the jolly party landed and soon commenced their sports for the day.
 In a baseball contest between the l. o. H. bachelors and the married men the latter succeeded in oowning the former by score of to 2. Frank w. Hastings having little bitter feeling against the bachelors showed them no mercy.
 The supreme officers of the country, who viewed the game, commenced to feel the need of a dinner and were fer ried to the Branford Point house, where their wants were satisfied.
 The contests were continued after dinner. P. w. Teller won the broad jump clearing IA feet inches MT. Heller of Meriden won the 75 yard dash. Charles E. Huntly and MT. Singer of New Britain outclassed their competi- tors in the three-legged race. F. w. Beers of New Britain succeeded in de- feating his rivals in the potato race. In the tug of war between the married and single men, the latter succeeded in pulling the former over the line after some difficulty.
 The blindfolded wheelbarrow search race caused great amusement to the onlookers. The contestants were to find peg in the ground 75 feet dis tant after lifting the wheelbarrow and turning around three times. No one came near the mark. Most of them went in the opposite direction. How ever, Mr. Singer of New Britain secured first prize and F. w. Beers won the booby prize, namely a complete nurs- ing bottle.
 Rain put an end to the sport and the people assembled in the dancing pa wilton, where the prizes were distrib- uted by Brother l.. J. Mundelin after an amusing speech.
 Dancing followed, the music being furnished by the Meriden Conclave or chestra.
 'The picnickers may thank the com mittee for their pleasant outing. The committee consisted of Chairman L. Besser, Frank Southworth, R. B. Farren, Dr. w. Jewett, Edmore s. Wade, J. R. Bolton, Charles Fleischner and MT. Thompson of West Haven.
