Grand Opera House.
PARTNERSHIPS PARDNER."

HEN E0SEE D 1AIDNER.
 Philip Hunt arrived in town yester- day morning to look after the interests of "Tennessee's Pardner," the attrac- tion booked for the Grand opera house next Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day. MT. Hunt in an interview with a reporter of the Courier had this to say: "The name of Arthur c. Aiston as the manager of 'Tennessee's Pardner' should be sufficient guarantee as to it's merits, for he has been manager of only the highest grade of attractions. D The play was suggested by Bret Harte's exquisite romance of the same name, and deals with fife in the sand hills of Nevada. The principal role is 'Tennessee's Kent" from the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, enacted by Miss Jane Corcoran, whose perform ance has excited the admiration of the critics of the entire country. Miss Es- tha Williams is the leading lady of the company and interprets an emotional role with marked skill. Miss Williams has been seen here in the leading of many prominent stars.

PROFESSOR BoYD's LECTURE.

Last evening in the lecture room of the Church of the Redeemer Professor Asa S. Boyd gave one of his interesting lectures on Memory Culture. A class of his pupils were present and gave some astonishing memory tests. Slips containing hundreds of dates and facts were distributed among the audience From these the pupils were questioned for thirty minutes, and answered with surprising accuracy every question. These facts embraced the presidents, books of the Bible with number of chapters, planets with size, distance and revolution, apostles, signs of the zodiac, states, poetry, etc, all of which were learned in few hours. Twenty five words were writtin on black board by a member of the audience and read once to the children, who repeated them forward and backward as if they had always known them. Professor Boyd gave tests equally as difficult by remembering long lists of figures writ ten on the blackboard.
 A class was formed for instruction, to take the first lesson at 279 Crown street to-day at and 7:30 p. m.

the present bill has the greatest draw ing powers of the season. The patriot ic feature demonstrated by Maxwell and Simpson, showing the destruction of the Maine in Havana harbor, is great peace of realism, finely presented, and it excites the strongest feelings of the beholders. The Leonidas troupe of dogs and cats have the whole town at their feet. The biggest dogs and the smallest cats are great rivals for the plaudits of the audience. Prof. Leoni- das says they don't mind the audience, but it is positive fact that when the clever poodle looks out of the basket, he winks at the ladies in the boxes. The performance of these delightful annals is certainly most unique and enjoyable. The olio finds a good share of the favor. It has Foreman and West, Mile Arniotisfi the female Samp- son, Touhey and Mack, Barton and Ashley, the Ford brothers and Jones and Sullivan. Prices 10c and 20c; la- dies in the afternoon, 10c. One extra show tomorrow for St. Patrick's day.

 at Waterbury in Another Overtime
 Game-Dumpy Williams the Hero of
 the Night.
 The New Haven polo team were again overpoWered by the Waterbury Tigers at Waterbury last night. The game was a repetition of last Wednesday nights contest. There was the same large crowd present and the same amount of excitement prevailed. In the first period New Haven led by one goal. The second period was product i've of only one goal and that was won by Maynard. After 12 minutes and AS seconds time this tied the score and the players entered into the final pe- riod, playing very hard and fast game. Bone opened the scoring and Leyden followed Al seconds later and it looked as if the game was going to New Haven. Maynard captured a clever goal 52 seconds later and the excitement rose to fever pitch. But this was nothing to the excitement that prevailed when ''Dumpy" Williams tied the score just before the gong sounded in 8 seconds. Williams again made a lucky drive past Lations after F min utes and g seconds overtime playing and won the game for Waterbury. The following is the score and summary: NEW HAVEN ............ WATERBURY

The legislature will be close, but
democratic on joint ballot. The
exact complexion could not be de-
termined last night. The friends
of Hon. N. B. Scott will deplore
the democratic majority.
The democrats gain a senator in
the Second district, one in the
Ninth, one in the Sixth, one in the
Eighth and several others. DR..
Stone, in the Second district, ap-
pears to be elected without doubt,
The gains in the house of dele
gates are numerous, and will give
the democracy control OF that body.
In Berkeley, Wood, Peasants, Ty-
Ter, Marion, Mineral and other
counties there are distinct gains,
and these will be supplemented by
others from the lower portion OF the
state.
At three o'clock this morning re-
turns from West Virginia are mea'
gre and in a measure unsatisfactory
However, in every county from
which reports have been received
the democratic candidates for con-
gress have largely increased the
vote polled by the party two years
ago, while the republican vote has
invariably fallen off. In some coun'
ties and towns the democratic net
gains are remarkable, and in all,
eminently gratifying.
The Legislative candidates OF the
democracy are all running with the
congressional candidates, and there
is every reason to hope and believe
the legislature, which meets in Jam
uary, will have democratic ma
jority.
