Grandopera House.

To-day will be wheelman's day at the Grand, and as 8 special turn compli- mentary to the many visiting wheel men the management has secured ''Rube" Shields and George Phillips, the "hayseed" trick bicyclists, to ap- pear in some of their newest and fun niest tricks. The bill is very large as it is, but these additions will be welcome.
 The audience last night was respon- sive and received each of the turns with applause. The leaders of the bill are Mcintyre and Heath, the black face artists, in the Imaginable act, "The Geor- gia Minstrels,' which took the house by storm. Their comedy in the scene where a ham sandwich is found is intensely amusing and worth seeing.
 Gilbert Girard, the animal imitator is wonderful in his line and the favorite in all the large cities. Among his imi- tations is one of g. cat fight, with dog bark interlude, which is startling in it's realism, and the bootjack-f1ing finale is very appropriate.
 The Van Aukens are deservedly call ed the wonderful acrobats. Nothing like their turn has been seen on the vaudeville stage, and they are always obliged tdo their work over again. Bes- sic Phillips is a charming singer of the bright French songs, and made a hit Lavender and Thomson were quite clever in their turn and some excep- tionally difficult somersaults brought down the house. The rest of the bill is good.
 Prices the same-1o cents, 20 cents and 30 cents.

PoIi,s Womderland Theater.

At the Wonderland this week Rudi- noff, the royal entertainer, makes all beholders laugh and enjoy his art with out presenting little of coarse or un- refined comedy. His smoke picture of a Venetian scene is wonderful. An adept in pantomime, he presents the comedy of two nightingales love-mak- ing, and the whole story is told in the intonations of his ripping, bird like whistle. His crayon pictures surprise and interest all and the eagerly taken are the completed pictures which he throws to the women in the audience. His shadowgraphs are fine and create uproarious laughter. They are original in conception and wonderful in execu- tion.
 Supporting Rudinoff is the biograph with a new set of views; also Salaret, a beautiful dancer; Boyle and Graham, Maude Mcintyre, McWatters and Ty- son, Fred Brown and Garfield and Car ter.
 Prices 10 cents and 20 cents; ladies in the afternoon 10 cents. Bikes checked free.

OPEN THEIR NEW ROOMS.

The New Haven Cycling club held their first meeting in their new quar- ters in Veru hall last night. Applica- tions of fifteen men who would join the club were received and filed. Twelve new members were voted in. Dr. s. w.. Jewett addressed the club members, wishing them success and volunteering his aid of it should be needed.
 The house committee, composed of b. R. Smith, F. S. Crown, Arthur Griggs, William Offert and John R. Lyons, turned the new quarters over to the club.
 A special meeting will be held the latter part of the present month to act upon membership applications and to transact other business arising since last nights meeting.
 The new quartersJ of New Haven's new and growing / cycle club are in every way worthy of the progressive wheelmen. The eastern end of what was Veru hall has been separated from the rest of the hall by a board partition. In the center is large doorway draped with handsome portieres, as are the other doors of the room. Upon the floor are scattered one large rug and five smaller ones, all of the best quail ity. For furniture the room possesses a very pretty extension table, round table, bookcase and chairs, both rock CTS and stationary, in abundance. The room, which was just completed yes- terday noon, is to be draped with flags, with pictures in profusion adorning the walls.
 In the other section of the hall pool and billiard tables will be placed The wheels of the members will be kept here. Dancing will be one of the at fractions of the club sociables, which will be held at intervals during the winter. One ladies' night month is to be another feature of the social side of club life.
 Before the meeting of last night "Rube" Shields, the trick rider, gave an exhibition on Orange street before the club rooms. This exhibition, which in cluded mounting of a wheel in different ways and different styles of riding, was necessarily limited owing to the incur sions made by the large crowd present in the road.

HENRY SANFORD MARRIEs.

Bridgeport, Sept. 12.-Henry Sanford, president of the Adams Express com pany, was married this morning at St. Bartholomew's church in New York city to Mrs. Butcher of New York. The couple will sail for Europe to-mor- row.
 Professor Samuel S. Sanford, son of the groom, is in Europe, but Mrs. Vic tor Thorne, a granddaughter of the groom, left for New York this forenoon to witness the marriage ceremony and will not return till late this evening.
 The news of the engagement of MT. Sanford gained some currency in local society last week, so that the announce ment of the marriage to-day is not in the nature of a surprise. MT. Sanford is IS years of age, but is as hale and hearty as an ordinary man of 50. Mrs. Butcher is 42 years of age and has had two husbands, this being her third ven- ture.
 MT. Sanford first became acquainted with her years ago, when on a visit to Canada. He was taken i'll on one of his trips, and Dr. Butcher attended him. pr. Butcher died several years ago from the effects of opium, a vic- tim to science. A few years after the death of the doctor MT. Sanford again visited Canada, where he went for treatment. He was considerably sur prised to find that the trained nurse sent to attend him was the wife of his friend, Dr. Butcher. The doctor had left little estate, and the widow took to nursing for a livelihood. Thus the acquaintance between MT. Sanford and Mrs. Butcher recommended, and has continued ever since. Mrs. Butcher has often visited this city and has been a guest at the Sanford house a number of times.

.ENTERTA TNMENTS.
Hyperion Theatcr. '"THE SFRENADE, <,

The ever-popular Bostonians present. ed Victor Herbert's "Serenade" before good-sized audience last night. This charming opera was duly reviewed in these columns upon it's first production here. A second hearing confirms the opinion then expressed that it is the best work Victor Herbert has done and stands with Robin Hood' as the best this country has produced in the comic opera genre. The brightness and spon- taneity of the melodies, the clever and musicianly workmanship, make the score a delightful oasis in the barren desert of contemporary comic-opera production. The libretto Is as free from vulgarity as it is possible for Harry B.. Smith to be, and possesses a really CO., herent plot and some true humor. It provides convenient and plausible ex- cuses for the display of the peculiar comic talents of Barnabee, MacDonald and Buckingham. The latter has an unusual chance to exploit his droll per- sonality, and is genuinely funny. The veteran Barnabee is as amusing as ever in his own way. Macdonald is a. grace ful and romantic figure as before, and his singing was the usual degree from the pitch.
 The loss of Eugene Cowles is dis tinctly felt, and although William Frederick is a capable substitute, he has neither the voice nor presence of Cowles. Moreover, the music of the part was written for Cowles and lies too low for Broderick. Helen Bertram is back after a couple of years absence, and she makes her presence felt. She is a competent singer and a good act ress. Her voice was slightly husky last

 Altogether it was a delightful per- formance, and it is hoped "The Sere- made" will be heard again.
