Polls Wonderland Theater.

Miss Pauline Hall is making as great a success as she ever scored in New Haven at Polis Wonderland theater this week. Very large audiences greet her at every performance, and the most unbounded enthusiasm is shown for her splendid singing and magnificent costumes. The fact, also, that Miss Hall will probably return to comic opera after this season. replacing Lil- Han Russell in An American Beauty seems to make the opportunity of sec ing her at popular prices still more at tractive. This may be the only time that the New Haven public will ever have the chance to see this brilliant singer in vaudeville and at low prices
 Miss Hall appears at 3:30 in the after noon and in the evening. Miss Hall is supported by an excellent vaudeville

 MEMBERSHIP.
 In evidence of the increased interest and efficiency of the chamber I may be pardoned for referring with pride to the fact that sixty-six members have been added to our organization during the year, including some of our most prominent men, connected with the educational, professional, mercantile and manufacturing interests of the city. bringing to us increased energy and in fluence, until now our membership of 450 to-day exceeds that of any other period in the chambers existence. Dur ing the coming year, may I ask the members to indulge in renewed efforts in this direction. A membership of 800. at the small annual dues of $2 each. would give us an assured income of s1 1000, which you may be assured would be carefully guarded and judiciously expended.
 At this point it may not be inappro- priate to refer to

 'Hi Henry's minstrels pleased large audience at he Jacques last opening. It was the real old article in minstrelsy, and among the artists were many whose names are familiar and whose work last evening sustained the reputa- ton they have achieved. G. Albert Gates, the handsome, splendidly pro- portioned fellow who sits in the center, has fine baritone voice that last even- ing was only heard in chorus, but could even be appreciated when mingled with others. George Demming can rival the best comedians on the minstrel stage; his singing of Lucky Jim," a pathetic song, was one of the most laughable features of the entertain ment Charles Kenan was also excep- tionally good in his droll unique special ties.

Better Keep Out of Court.

In the Municipal court yesterday morn
ing Judge Robinson imposed light sem
tence upon a prisoner charged with
drunkenness. After Recorder Turner had
read the sentence the Judge asked for
the complaint He then remarked to the
prisoner that when he sentenced him he
had overlooked his previous record. In
view Of the fact that he had been before
the court for half a dozen times, the
judge changed the sentence and made it
as severe as the law allowed. The
prisoner was given fair warming that lie
had better keep out of that court in the
future for he would never get light
sentence there.

In a mandamus proceeding brought by

All the appointments which Mayor
Harrison and Chief of Police Ripley
have made since they entered their
