OBITUARY.
MRS. WILLIAM H. HUBBELL.

The Waterbury American says:
 With deep regret and genuine sor- row the people of this place received the news of the death of Mrs. William H. Hubbell, aged fifty-three years. Her complaint was heart affection, with which she had been afflicted for a year or more, and moving from here to New Haven in the spring proved otherwise than beneficial They moved to this place from Bridgeport twenty-five years ago, and during their long resi- dence here none but the kindest feel ings were ever heard expressed for her. Of a mild and even temper, her pres ence was like sunshine to all who came in contact with her. Her belief was in the Episcopal faith, and the services were held at Bridgeport, at the home of her sister, September 4. There were many of her old neighbors present to attest their regard for her memory. The interment was in a beautiful spot just inside the entrance to Mountain Grove cemetery, Bridgeport. Her son, w. R. Hubbell, of the National Iron ank, this place, her daughter, Bertha, and husband survive her"

TTGHTHO1rsE POINT.

One of the first nighters at the open ing performance of the New York Vau- deville club at the Point remarked that yesterday was the most enjoyable day of the season for an outing there. The clear, bracing air warmed by bril- liant sunshine made wraps superfluous, the majority of the ladies present se- lecting the shady seats in preference to the sunny ones. The entertainment this week is one of the very best of the season. The celebrated Frank E. Me- Nish (of McNish, Johnson & Slavin's s minstrels), is well known to New Ha- veners and was most enthusiastically encored during his act yesterday He is a whole vaudeville entertainment in himself, and is ably assisted by Miss Rose Albro in patriotic and comic songs. Their famous silence and fun act is great. Harry J. Howard assist ed by Miss Tennant in illustrated songs is seen at his best in the evening per- formances when the songs are beau- tifully illustrated. MT. Howard has a fine tenor voice and a varied song pro-
 gramme that enables him to make
 many changes during the week he spends here. His songs without the il-
 lustrations are very catchy.
 w. J. Alexander does the novelty
 musical instrument act with a blend- ing of comedy that at once wins the | popular favor.
 Waldo Whipple, the comedy singer, trick and nerve dancer has the combi-
 nation lock step in dancing that is the envy of vaudeville stars everywhere. 1 The Ahrens are the acrobatic team | this week and their act is a strong and | interesting one including ladder act | of great deXterity. The excellence of | this entertainment scores quickly for | the Point management, as already a | trolley party of about 200 has been l booked for tonight and another of 10C | for tomorrow night
