HyperiOn Theater.


 One of the greatest drawing attrac- lions of the season is the veriscope, which reproduces the great Corbett- Fitzsimmons contest at Carson City, on March 17 last. At least so far it has proven thus in New Haven as there is a steady increase at every perform ance.
 Besides witnessing the two greatest exponents of the manly art, the mech anism of the veriscope is in itself great attraction, a wonderful advance in pho- tography and it's reproduction.
 To know one can sit comfortably in a theater here in New Haven and wit ness upon a canvass screen all the men entered the ring until the contest ended. some 5000 miles away, with life like fidelity, and in life size, certainly furnishes food for thought. After the overture at each performance young man announces from the stage that to the best of his ability he will point out the interesting points in the contest and also the notable figures. This makes the exhibition much more enjoyable, for almost every figure in and near the ring is pointed out and represented to act in his respective capacity
 The first scene is the preliminaries, or just after the men entered the ring. They are seen walking to and fro, each with a long bath robe about him. This is where the ladies begin to ask ques-

The Afternoon Drive.

Just before the afternoon session ad- journed, at 3:30, the members of the ladies committee and the visiting la dies entered the convention hall; then after adjournment they were escorted to the carriages by the chiefs. The party had just started to take car riages for the drive when the heavy rain began. Some were deterred there fore from going on the trip but the greater number of the chiefs and la dies braved the rain. The carriages re- ceived their passengers in front of the city hall, and as each carriage was fill ed it was driven out Church street to Chapel, to Temple street on the green, where they formed four abreast and awaited the rest of the party After all had been provided with carriages the line started on the drive Soon after the start the heavy rain ceased and occasional sunbeams began to find their way through the low hanging clouds.
 The line of the drive was up Elm street to College, to Chapel, to High, through the Yale campus, to Elm, to Whalley avenue. to Sherman avenue, to Evergreen cemetery, where the par ty was driven past the fremen's plot and the monument thereon. Leaving the cemetery, the drive was up Daven- port avenue to Howard avenue, to City Point, then back up Howard avenue to Oak street, to Dwight to Chapel, to College, to Elm, to Temple, to Grove to Hillhouse avenue, to Sachem street, to Whitney avenue, to Rock lane, to Farnam drive and thence through East Rock park by the Lewis memorial and stopping at the Soldiers monument. At the top of the rock the party alighted from the carriages and took in the beautiful view of the city, the harbor and vicinity which lies spread out at the foot of the rock All the visitors were profuse in their expression of ad- miration of the beautiful scene.
 After resting a few minutes at the summit of the rock the party again took carriages and the drive was con- tinued down through the park by way of English drive. Reaching the foot of the rock the carriages were driven up Orange street and the guests were talk en to their various hotels
 When the party passed No. 1 and No. 8 engine houses the firemen stationed at those houses were drawn up in line and saluted the visitors. Both houses were profusely decorated in bunting and various fire emblems.
 Although the weather was threaten ing during the drive and slight sprin- kles caused the ladies to fear for their hats, the drive on the whole was very enjoyable By the time East Rock was reached the clouds had begun to part, and through the rifts the sunshine floated down, tinging with it's gorgeous light the shrubbery of the park and causing the wet leaves to sparkle like diamonds.
 Some members of the party, inspired by the beauty of the park, sang dur ing the trip up Farnam drive. It was about o'clock when the last carriage drove up Orange street. Hundreds of residences and places of business along the line of the drive were handsomely

HOW TO GUARD AND SAVE

 captain Brophy of Boston discussed the paper at length. He caused a laugh by saying that the capitalists who erect twenty -three-story buildings should be hanged, and hanged before erecting such buildings and even for thinking of building such structures. He said that the association should take the matter of flimsy buildings up and agi- tate it so that public sentiment would be aroused.
 ''No one will deny to-day" said he, ''that the sky-scraper building has pass ed beyond the reach of fire depart ments What is the use of carrying truck to a twenty-three-story building? No country in the world would tolerate such buildings as we have in the Unit ed States. Look at the trolley and elec- tric wires all bare about the city streets. This must all be done away with in the not-distant future. It re- mains for this association to agitate the matter"
 Chief Webber of Boston said it was almost useless to try to arouse public opinion or to get any action taken by any one.
 Chief Damrell, who is a member of the building commission of the United States, stated that through the press public sentiment must be aroused to sense of the danger.
 Chief Page of Joliet, H.. made the most startling remarks which were giv- en to the convention.
 He opposed the idea of building structures so that they would never burn down. "We ought not to attempt legislation" said he, which will pre- vent the erection of such buildings as the owner sees fit. Let the capitalist build as he sees fit and we should de- mand the appliances to meet them. All this discussion seems to be toward making the life of the fireman easy. say that 8 fireman who wants to take life easy ought to resign or be dis charged.
 "Now I believe in working. Now, buy four suits a year, and it makes trade Some people only but a suit in four years. You don't expect a suit to last forever. Why do you expect Q building to last forever?
 Now, here's Yale. That's never burn cd down, but it ought to- Then it would be rebuilt and have modern institu- ton. Some of the largest cities of the country have had their start from big fire. The old buildings have burned down and they have started again with be tier results"
 Secretary Henry A. Hills was the next speaker. He had paper en- titled "The Feasibility of Taking Into Consideration the Organization of a Firemen's Benefit Association on tine Aesessment Plan" The paper was as fellows:

Grand Opera House.

Tony Pastor and his speciality com pany opens the Grand opera house Sat urday night. It is wise selection and the mere fact of Tony Pastor being here will no doubt pack the house. The company he has selected is made up of the best vaudeville artists now before the public Watson and Hitchings, Ed Edwards, Maud Raymond, Edwin La telle, the Elnore sisters, the World S Trio, Barnes and Sission, E. Austin, Albertus and Weston. The box office opens this morning and with the prices to be charged to this house, 10, 20, 30 and 50 cents, a, big business may be looked for.

tions. On all sides is heard Which is Corbett?" "Is that Fitzsimmons up there? Oh, yes; there's Corbett; doesn't he look fine. Why don't they begin to fight?" Why this and why that. In another moment gong is heard from the stage to make things more realistic, and the two great men quickly ad- vance to the center of the ring and be- gin the battle of their lives, on which depends fame and fortune to either.
 Large audiences have witnessed this show, and it is really worth seeing, as one can hardly imagine how it is possi- ble to reproduce such a thing so realis- tically.
 The veriscope remains until Friday night giving matinees daily at 2:30 so as to give everybody an opportunity to witness the greatest contest of the age. The evening exhibition commences at S:30 o'clock.

LOCKWOOD WINS SERIES
DEFEATS NEW LONDON ATH LETICS WITH SCORE I6 TO 15.

Rain Delayed Game aud Soaked ihe Dio-
 mond-Prevented snappy Fielding and
 Made Pitching Impossible--Errors De-
 eide the Game-"Tommy" Atkin Cap
 tained the New Londoners.
 It was quite disappointment to both the Edgewoods and the New Londoners yesterday afternon when heavy show CT poured down on the players just as the first batter stepped to the plate. Everybody scurried to the grand stand and staid there for fully half an hour telling stories and joking, but especial ly watching for lift in the gray sky to let the sun come out, About o'clock the rain ceased and the teams started the game on well soaked dia- mond.
 There were changes in both teams since they played together the first time this season in July. Tommy Atkin, who was then Edgewood's shortstop, yesterday explained the New London CTS, and Lyons, the Derby twirler, was in the box. Several members of Cap tain Hamlin's boys are in camp at Mantle and their places were filled by Charlie Platt, the crack catcher on the Strouse, Adler & Co., nine, and Short stop Lyons of the same tearA Fitzger- aid and Fessenden of the Winchesters were also taken in by Manager Greist
 The score was a large one, as was to be expected with such wet grounds and slippery ball. Edgewood won out with the score 16 to 15 in its favor, af- ter a ragged, but at times interesting game.
 For New London, Lyons had good speed but was a trifle unsteady. Ham, lin could not control the ball we'll either, no matter how much he rubbed it on his Yale sweater. In the eighth inning, when he had grown rather too unsteady, Atkins men having pounded out eight hits in the seventh, he with drew and Fessenden took his place. "Fessie's" good work probably saved the day for the local team. He kept his head well and in the final inning, when one man had gone out and another was jumping around on third base trying to come in and tie the score, Fessenden struck out two bats men, leaving Edgewood victorious, Edgewood got only seven hits while New London secured nineteen. The errors of the latter, principally in the infield, were, however, costly. This game decided the series with New Lon don, leaving the Edgewood team on top.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, June 9.-The stock market
nroclainaed today with extraordinary
emphasis the vitality and irmness OF the
Improvement in values which has been
achieved in the last two weeks. I)he re-
sources of the bears were exhausted IN
nartially effective efforts to bring about
q general reaction, which they had to
abandon in face of the strong rally of
tha last hour. which carried the whole
market. with an aH-embracing surge, to
a. higher plane, wiping out the losses
which the painstaking efforts of the bears
had accomplished earlier in the day and
driving them to cover losses by hasty
purchases on the fast rising scale of
nrices. The dealing in the last hour was
characterized by great animation, and
she sales. which had been small for two
hours previously, were brought up to
total considerably in excess of that of
Yesterday. which was the largest since
fbe present period of activity in stocks.
Today's transactions in Sugar, also, were
only about half as large as yesterday,
though the DAYS sales in that stock still
footed up the enormous aggregate OF
,,ya,. AZ 600 shares. st. Paul and Burling-
ION came next in the order named. Ihere
xyare nine stocks in which the dealings
exceeded 10000 shares and some thirty
five in which the sales exceeded tnou-
sand shares This indicates greatly I'M
nroyed distribution of the dealings. Inc
force of the rally is probably best inter-
preted as the assertion of the commence

the refntation of the theory that marked
