REBEL YELL RINGS.
1000 Persons Engage In "a Demon
stration when Band Plays pixie

strntion when Band Plays pixie
CNew York Herald)
There have been some lively scenes III
the theatres of late when the star
Spangled Banner" was played, but none OF
them equaued the extraordinary demon
stration of last night at the Metropol-
tan Opera-House when Sousds Band
plaved the national anthem and then
swung into pixie
If was Sousa's last Sunday night con-
cert. and the house was packed with an
audience that made even the top gaIlery
black with dense crowd. III had Deen
announced that Sousa's The stars ana
Stripes Forever would be given during
the evening. and that the principals ana
chorus members of the De Volt Hopper
and the "Bride-Elect' companies would
take part with the band. The audience
had come with the idea of letting ltsel
loose" when the proper time came, but
they did not wait for the advertised
number, but caught at the first opportu-
nifty that presented itself.
In response 20 an encore call after a
suite PLAYED by the band, SOusa save Il
medley of such airs as Yankee Doodle
and Marching Through Georgia. and
the house was fairly on fire with enthusi-
assn i'm an instant. Men began TO beat
time with their feet and pound canes,
while a rattle of applause that grew
louder and louder almost drowned the
music.
When Sousa finished there was a roar
Of cheers from the house, and the band
at once began the Star Spangled Ban
ner." In an instant the entire audience,
from orchestra rails to top gallery, sprans
TO their feet. a whirlwind of cheers going
up. and hats, handkerchiefs, and canes
being waved in the air.
During the playing of the entire piece
the demonstration kept up, and when
il came TO conclusion with the final
crash Of music from the band, the scene
heegared description. An encore was
demanded. but SOusa stood calmly await
ing quiet before he would go on. Then,
when he could be heard, he said
ladies and gentlemen, 1t seems as
though the only appropriate encore that
/ can give in these days IS Johnny Get
Your Cum but there's another air we
all will cheer tonight" and turning TO
his band. the musicians swung into
Dixie
If there had been orderly enthusiasm
before there was Bedlam let loose now
and while the cheers went up as heartily
IS ever there burst from certainly Z
thousand threats the famous rebel yell
If came from all parts of the house. 70
quite a time this continued, men anC
women joining in the uproar, the ladies
leaning out Of the boxes and wavins
! their handkerchicts while the southern
air was played.
The audience had hardly quoted whei
a man in one of the boxes leaned owe
/ the rail and yelled, "WhO says we are no
ready for ware" and the house went vile
again. with another combination o
| 'Irnion cheers" and "rebel yells." Thei
some one in the orchestra jumped int
| the aisle and called for three cheer
for "Our flag and our country, the Nortl
/ and the SOuth-Were all ready. ant
/ the previous scene was repeated.
When "The Stars and stripes wa
sung there was still another demonstra
! ton. and then five thousand tired an'
hoarse individuals took themselve

POLLS WonderIand Thenter.

Success was written in big letters all
over the Wonderland and it's new show
last evening. The theater was in pa
triotic garb in celebration of Admiral
Dewey's victory-f1ags in the lobby,
flags on the boxes and flags every
where. Appropriate to the mood of the
people were the stirring war views of
the biograph, realistic and up to date
the Gushing under full speed off Key
West, the Iowa with prize, the Span
ish troops marching through Havana
and Moro Castle, the United States
infantry at Chickamauga, and STIR
ring artillery evolution of the regulars
repelling a cavalry charge.
Then came the fleet series showing
Admiral Dewey and his gallant squad
ron, at which time the house shook
with applause. And they applauded
tremendously again when the fleet
cruiser Yale was shown.
The vaudeville part of the show is a
superb collection, headed by the feat
ure act, "The Man Upstairs" played in
excellent and snappy manner by the
Dunstan company of five people, all of
whom are first-class comedians. The
Morello Troupe, the Four Emperors of
Music and Ben Harnly with his rag
time oddities are more hits. Others in
the show are Hughes and Hughes,
Lewis and Elliott and Gushing and
Morrell. Prices 10 cents and 20 cents;
ladies in the afternoon 10 cents Bikes

LIGHT ARTILLERY BATTERY.
CITY, n'ty H s;n,.. 159 {

Final Plans Formulated-Will Leave
Tomorrow for Mantle.
The plans for the light artillery bat
terry at Yale have been now entirely
formulated, the proper authorities
seen, and the necessary arrangements
made. Although men enough to form
full battery have signified their in
tention of enlisting, for several rea-
sons it seemed best not to carry out
the original idea, and the company
now formed will constitute the Third
platoon of battery A, Connecticut Ma
tional Guard. Branford will form the
first platoon and Guilford the second.
Captain Honce of Branford will have
charge of the battery, and H. T. Yves
ton 1855, second lieutenant, will have
charge of the third platoon.
The company will leave New Ha-
ven early tomorrow morning in order
to reach Mantle before 10 a. m. About
sixty men will go to Mantle, where
each man will undergo physical ex-
animation, and forty men will be chos-
en- to constitute the third platoon. Or
ders concerning the clothing each man
is allowed to take was expected yes
terday, and the entire outfit will be
furnished by the government to each
man shortly after the arrival at Man
tic.
Since the idea of forming a COM
pany was first formulated the men
have been drilling daily in sabre exer-
else and marching at the armory.
Nearly all of the men have been drill
ing under Captain Murray all the year,
being the regular senior military COM
pany.
The battery will stay at Mantle for
a month or six weeks at the least.
The drill there will be the regular drill
for volunteers and will consist of bat
terry practice and general army man
oevures. 1t is not yet known where
the battery will be ordered when they
leave Mantle
