Grand Opera House.

Hi Henry's minstrels pleased a large
 audience at the Grand last night, giv-
 ing an old-time minstrel performance
 such as we have not seen here for
 many seasons. The roster of the com
 pany includes number of people who
 have made themselves famous in the
 minstrel business.
 The old-time first part opens the per- formance, during which the following vocal selections are introduced: Fond est Memories" by O.. w. Bayley; "Erastus," by Charles Whallen; "Rosey Posey," by Harry Leighton; "Hot Stuff" by Arthur Deming, and % I Don't Know" by Charles Kenna. A double quartet rendered number of selections at the close of the first part, which were greatly enjoyed The olio was opened by an exhibition of the motograph in connection with the chromograph. The pictures that were shown were loudly applauded MT. Henry accompanied by twenty five of his military band, rendered a cornet solo which was accorded hearty ap- plause The remainder of the program included McMahon and King, charac- ter artists; Arthur Deming in a sketch, Charles Kenna in selections, and the three Albions.
 The entire performance is one of the best in the minstrel line that has ever been seen at the Grand.
 l There will be special matinee to- day and the regular matinee to-mor-
 row. Matinee prices 10, 15 and 25 cents. There will also be a performance this and tomorrow evenings.

 THE STOWAWAY." Not only are the safe breaking and 1 the yacht scene remarkable features of | the production of "The Stowaway, ' | which is at the Grand opera house on
 Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of
 next week, but there is a most pictur-
 esque scene of the old London streets
 with dark passage ways, obscure cor
 ners and ramshackle buildings. It is
 one of the strongest and most vivid pro.
 ductions of such quarters ever put upon l the stage. In "The Stowaway" this season, besides the noted reformed i burglars, Spike" Hennessy and Kid
 Mccoy, is a powerful company includ-
 ing a dozen very able dramatic artists Matinee Wednesday, Matinee prices

joyed. MT. Sothern was repeatedly honored with enthusiastic calls before the curtain by his audience In testimo- ny of its satisfaction, The play was beautifully staged, and the supporting company was good.
 TWO LITTLE MIGRANTS"
 The most prosperous plays are those which contain somewhere within them a moral. It Is when this moral is delft ly interwoven in the background that it increases the dramatic value of the piece. This is cleVerly done in 1.-TWO Little Vagrants," which comes to the Hyperion this and tomorrow evenings. In the 'Two Little Vagrants" the hero thinks that his wife has been unfaithful to him, and on the spur of the moment in order to Wreak a terrible vengeance upon her. he hands her child over to a professional burglar, caught entering his house. with instructions to make the child as degraded and criminal as possi- ble. After the child has become seem- ingly irretrievably lost, In the cesspool of vice in Paris, her husband finds out that he has made terrible mistake his wife has been perfectly true to him. The plays denouement is intensely in- teresting. Alice Fisher, the well known actress who plays the part of the in
 ebriated gypsy in 1.-Two Little Va grants" with such excellent discretion, was one of the founders of the Twelfth
 Night club, the leading theatrical or ganizatio composed of women, and was among those instrumental in the | idea of the loving cup presented a year or so ago to Joseph Jefferson by | the American theatrical profession. | Sale of seats now open.
 "SOUSA'S BAND"
 Sousa's grand concert band, the most | pronounced musical success of recent | years, will be heard here next Monday
 night and its coming will be most in | teresting event to all professionals and
 lovers of music. The history of con-
 cert bands shows no parallel to the
 favor which this organization has at
 tained in the five years of It's exist
 ence. Sale of seats now open.
 | HOYTS "A BLACK SHEEP" l The football mania is said to be most
 amusingly treated by Charles Hoyt in
 his latest combination of fun, melody and terpsichore, "A Black Sheep" whi eh
 has made such phenomenal hit wher-
 ever produced, and which ran for 150
 nights at Hoyt's theater New York

Fine Program to be Rendered by Sym
 phony Orchestra-Artists Who Will
 Participate.
 The fourth and last of the series of the New Haven Symphony orchestra con- certs takes place Thursday, April p, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
 The New Haven Symphony orchestra finishes with this concert the third year of its work having given twelve con- certs, all of sterling merit.
 The fourth concert consists of a pro- gram that is less severe than the previ- ous ones It contains Mendelssohn's lovely Scotch Symphony, that transfers the nearer into the mountains of old Scotland, the land of Burns. Miss Eni- ma Spieske will play Vieuxtemps Con- certo for the Violin, composition nev- CT heard here before. While there Is a repletion of violin compositions and in consequence much has been written for this truly musical instrument, no com poser has understood it's wide scope so thoroughly as Vieuxtemps, who com pines the choicest melodies With an abundance of brilliancy Miss Spieske, a pupil of the violin department of Yale university, is the soloist, and much pleasure is in store for the audi ence.
 The orchestra has added this suite to it's numbers on the program. MT. B. Haesche who is known to be Professor Parker's favorite pupil, musician of superior talent and member of the or chestra appears as composer of an overture called 'F'ridtjof and Ingeborg'' ! upon the program,
 The same composers 'Idyll,'' as played last season in one of the New Haven Symphony concerts, rings still sweetly in our ears and this his latest | overture, will not fail to please There is still one more number on the next program, 'Andante," a compost tion for orchestra by the well known organist Harry R. Jepson. The sale of tickets opened at Stein ert's. The price is $1

THE BASKET BALL GAME.
The Naval Reserves Score IS and the
 Sarsfields g.

SdTSlieluS ;.
 A very interesting game of basket ball was played at the armory last eve ming between teams of the Naval Mill itia and the Sarsfeld Guard. The game was played as fast as possible, no de- lays being caused by injured players. The spectators were very enthusiastic and loudly cheered the contestants of both teams for expert work. The Sars- fields played a good game, which was perfectly satisfactory to their friends. There is considerable luck in the con- test, as was evident when the Sars- fields made several good throws which were not goals. The score was to in favor of the naval boys in the first half and 16 to 9 at the finish.
 The lineup of the two teams was as follows:
 Naval Miltia--Austin, right forward; Cahill left forward Thompson, center; I Ward, right guard; Ryder, left guard; Morris, substitute.
 Sarsfeld Guard-Eustis, right for ward; McGuire left forward Spencer, center; McHugh, right guard; Kenna, left guard; Shea substitute.
 The score was kept by James Glee- son, the other officials being the same as usual.
 The next game in the series is to be played on Monday evening, April 19, by the Blues and the Grays. There are five more games to be played.
