ENTERTIINM ENTS.
hyperion Theater.
"THE CHORUS GIRL"

1.-THE Chorus Girl' was presented be-
fore a good sized audience at the Hy-
perion last evening and will be pre-
sented again this evening. The enthu-
siastism was not proportional to the
size of the assemblage. 1.-The Chorus
Girl is designated farcical operetta,
and the libretto and lyrics are by En-
erson Cook. The music is by Charles
Dennee and is at times unusually tune
full. 1t is not worse and no better than
many Girls" who have preceded it,
The dancing was pretty, the groupings
effective and there were the usual ex-
hibition marches and drill evolutions.
The choruses were very prettily sung.
The cast is headed by Merrie Osborne,
who first became known as Little
Miss Muffet'' in Jack and the Bean
stalk" Miss Minnie Ashley and Miss
Grace Greenwood were also prominent
ly cast and Bert Coote, William Nor
ris and Paul Barnes had the leading
male roles. The soloists were clever
comedians and fair singers.
NEXT WEEK AT THE HYPERION.
The invasion of New Haven by Pay
toms big comedy company will take
place on Monday next, when this
mighty aggregation of talent will swoop
down upon the Hyperion and hold it
captive during the week. The invasion
will be of a friendly nature, for the
company will endeavor to amuse our
theater- goers during the week with
their excellent productions of both COM
edy and drama. After securely en-
trenching themselves they will open fire
on Monday evening with the great sue
cess "Woman Against Woman" To
enable all parties, especially the ladies
and children, to witness these fine pro-
auctions, matinees will be given daily
commencing on Tuesday. The matinee
performances will be in every respect
equal to the performances given in the
evening.
There are all kinds of entertainments
given at what are known as popular
prices-10 cents, 20 cents and 80 cents

Indifferent rarely are presented in a

age. For years this establishment has
been rated as one of the very best, and
its fame has extended throughout this

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
DISTINCT INCREASE IN DEMAND
FOR AM PRODUCTS.

The Coming of War Has Hurt Less THAI
Its Apprehension-The Victory at Manila
Has Caused Good Influence TO all Mar
iets.
New York, May 6.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review Of trade tomorrow
will say: A state of war was so
greatly dreaded by those who have seen
nothing like it for more than thirty
years that its coming has hurt less
than it's apprehension. Especially
since the victory at Manila indicated
superiority of the American navy, gun
for gun, expectations that the war will
not last long has influenced all markets
There has been distinct increase in the
demand for the products of all the chief
Industries, many who have delayed
now coming forward with orders, while
there has been material and most i'm
markets for Industrial and commercial
needs. The fact that gold is now used
almost exclusively between the treas
ury and the clearing house indicates
the entire freedom from apprehension
about the currency or public credit.
The most sensational of all changes,
and the most practically important,
has been the rise in wheat-13 cents
during one days session, and rs H.
cents for the week-tnrowing into the
shade all past advances and all expec-
tations, though reaction of 1 1-2 cents
naturally followed on Friday. Western
receipts, after averaging less than g.
100000 bushels per week for four
months, have suddenly risen to more
than 100000 bushels. Exports have
not been checked by higher prices as
yet, but have caused them. amounting
for the week to 2,094,389 bushels, flour
included, against 1,498167 bushels from
Atlantic ports last year, and $685.
bushels against 99,50S from Pacific
ports. The remarkable rise on Thurs
day was largely due to the removal of
duties by France and to prohibition of
exports by Russia, both showing the
extraordinary needs abroad, so that
the rise for the week is now without
excuse.
Corn failed to advance correspond
ingly, though the exports were three
million against 2,275,043 last year.
Industries have received a wonderful
stimulus from the conviction that hos
tilities will soon commence. Textile es-
adjustments have been receiving
larger orders within the past few
days, so that the stoppage or reduc-
ton Of time in four wooden mills early
in the week may have been premature.
No decline appears in the prices OF
staple cloths or dress goods and the
heavy auction sale of carpets was emil
nently successful in clearing off at fair
prices an accumulation resulting from
an advance in prices last January.
Print cloths have again made low
record, 1.94 cents, but a better market
Is seen for other cotton products. De-
mands for boots and shoes are very
heavy considering the extraordinary
orders previously placed and shipments
are still the largest ever known for the
season. Silk works are doing well and
the domestic demand for the produc-
ton is exceedingly heavy.

Polls Wonderland Theatre.


The closing performance of the weeks
bill tonight at the Wonderland will
doubtless obtain another large audi
ence. The war pictures and the excel
lent vaudeville have attracted a very
large business this week, and the quail
ity of the show merited the patronage.
For next week Manager Poll has pre-
pared bill that will surprise the city.
1t is really a remarkable offering for
any theater, no matter how high priced,
and for the prices that Manager Poll
charges, 10 cents and 20 cents, and 10
cents for ladies in the afternoon, it IS
problem how he can do it. The bill can
safely challenge any one to equal or
excel it. There are at least five feat
ures, incluuing Miss Pearl Andrews,
Howard and Emerson with moving pic
ture songs, Manning and Provost, conf
edy acrobats; A. o. Duncan, the ven
triloquist, and the biograph retained
with new set of war news and inter-
estirig pictures.

DELIGHTFUL ENTERTAINMENT.

At the Church of the Redeemer Last
Night.
Fully 800 people attended the enter
tainment and reception given under the
auspices of the Young Ladies' Mission
airy society of the Church of the Re-
deemer in the church last night. The
entertainment was held in the auditor
ium of the church. The pulpit and
walls to the rear of it were profusely
and beautifully decorated with Ameri-
can flags, bunting, palms and other
potted plants. The principal feature
of the entertainment was the reading
of an original story by the pastor of
the church, the Rev. DR.. Phillips. 1t is
called "Deeriald Deane, a child of the
Zeitgeist," and is a character sketch.
1t describes a rich blue blood young
college man full of vagaries and the
inquiring spirit characteristic of the
age, who is cropping about among the
conflicting theories of the different
schools of thought in search of some

that George Monroe, who fought Ted

FLYNN and Sheridan's big sensational
double show will be seen at the Grand

and fifteen creoles in their ranks. The
idea of the performance is most nov

produced, and has proved big sue

two distinct performances given, one by
the white and one by the creole COM
