A FORMER NEW HAVEN PASTOR.
 The Rev. J. B. Smith the new pastor of the Methodist church in Beacon Falls. occupied the pulpit on Sunday in a very pleasant and interesting manner. Tn the morning he took his text from Hosea xiv, B. In the evening he had for subject Gather Up the Frag- ments," Matthew xiv, 20. The Water bury American says of him:
 MT. Smith is a man of great elo- quence and ability, and he kept his large audiences fairly captivated. He brings out the secret of his texts with great tact and precision, and under stands the English language perfectly. It is the sincere wish of all that as pastor and people the work of this com- ing year may be one that will tell for souls, and the mutual growth of unity and brotherly love among tile parlsh- toners of this church. MT. Smith is not wholly unknown here, having occupied pulpits in New Haven and New York very acceptably. He formerly preached at Summerfield Methodist church, New Haven, where he has many friends

He stands the test heroically, however, and wins the fortune. MT. Thayer assumes an English, German, French and cow boy character in all the acts, all of which are admirable. Gilbert Gard ner plays the husband and Miss Bea- trice Mckenzie the bride. The act Is extremely artistic and well furnished. The Leon sisters, duo of wonderful dancers and acrobats, are a big hit, and so are Ward and Curran in their fun ny singing and burlesque sketch. The biograph as usual, is interesting and has an entire new list of views. Others on the bill are Fields and Ward, in a great talking act; the Nestor trio in ec- centric comedy and dance; LeRoy and Morris, comic bar performers: Zieka the magician, and Hart Brothers in musical and singing act.

 The Grand
 Bob Fitzsimmons and his vaudeville company appeared to big house at the Grand last night. The show is good one in every particular, and every one of the acts and sketches is up to date and well worth seeing, something un- usual for any aggregation headed by a pugilistic star. The bill includes a Imaginable farce, musical sketch, jug gling and funny people, and closes with an exhibition of bag punching by Fitz and three rounds of boxing between him and his sparring partner, Tank Kenny. They box three rounds, and give an interesting exhibition of scien- tific boxing. The audience last night was an appreciative one, and was gen. erous in it's applause, which was well merited by all to whom it was given The engagement concludes tomorrow night with performances this afternoon and evening and tomorrow afternoon.
