 nee and Evening Performance of the
 "Good Mir. Best" Will be Givon-its n
 Great Play.
 The announcement on Saturday that benefit would be rendered the Mer- chants carnival fund on next Wednes- day evening at the Hyperion has awak- ened considerable interest,
 The character of the play, "The Good MT. Best" and the well known clever people who will appear in it, ensure a great success without popularizing 1t In behalf of the merchants.
 The carnival committee announces, however, that owing to demand TOT tickets from the merchants all seats must be purchased at the Hyperion The sale of seats opens this morning, and the committee urges all public-spir- ited citizens, who will add in this way to the carnival fund, to please order seats to-day thus ensuring the commit tee a matinee benefit, if the demand IS great enough.
 Scores of citizens who were not asked to subscribe to the original fund have informed the committee that they will purchase from $5 to $10 worth of tick cts, and in this manner help make the fund grow.
 If this plan were only followed, the merchants could depend upon mati- nee benefit also. It will be noticed that the merchants have announced the carnival in the ad- vertising columns, and the puzzle that confronts them is how to send 14OOO free railroad fares to that number Of ladies who will want to visit New Ha- ven on May B.
 But the committee expects quite a return from "The Good MT. Best" and all this money will go to boom the greatness of New Haven.
 MT Henry John Savers, the represen- tative of "The Good MT. Best" compa- ny, and who, by the way, is the author of "Ta-ra-ra- -boom-de-ay," Che particu- l larly requested that nothing be said about this, but New Haven people have their opportunity for revenge)-well, | MT. Savers expects to be in New Ha- ven to-day and bring with him the bear which in the play impresses the truth l tldI CNSly dllo NilO iiCCdc9 lNO l bears in the family, bear and forbear; that is, when trouble is bruin. Yesterdays New York Herald In its report of the bringing out of The Good MT. Best" on Saturday night at Brock l ton, Mass, said:
 | John J. McNally's "The Good MT Best" musical farce, in three acts was presented here and when the final l curtain fell Manager William Harris who was present, said that there was no longer any doubt that for the next season at the Garrick theater, New York, a successor to Never Again had | been found. The complications are funny and the action rapid The text is bright, and the rnusicy written ex- pressly for the piece, is catchy.
 The third act has genuine farce novelty. Best's residence is so arrang- cd that person can sit in the living room and by pressing an electric buttor lscan see what is going on in any room | in the house. Best tries the invention l and sees his wife in her room making
 hel toilet. He also sees a young mar l enter the room, pull down the window curtain and embrace her. Later the | Wife sees her husband in a situation
 which nearly drives her wild, while the audience roars with laughter. The ef- feet is gained by the use of the kineto scope and projectoscope, and is similar to the vitascope pictures, save that 1T this instance the very characters of thu
 play are shown enacting scenes, whicf
 arc part and parcel of the plot of ths I piece. This effect alone, judging by tn,
 sensation it created, will make the sue
 cess of the new farce.
 R, A. Roberts, Mrs. Yeamans, Johr G. Sparks, Georgia Caine, Josie Sadie
 and Joseph Cyne were in the piece, ant
 were well received
 Please help the merchants to matt
 nee benefit, as well as one in the even

 day.
