Tickets Still on Sale at the Hyperion
 for Both Performances.
 Preparations for the Mothers Aid society benefit at the Hyperion on Sat urday afternoon and evening are still going on. The great fame of the Gib- son pictures to be shown at night has been specially made and it is quite safe to predict that the pictures which ar. given by permission of "Life" will be the most interesting series of tableaux vivants New Haven has ever had.
 From beginning to end the evening programme will be jolly. All the songs which are to come between the taxleaux have been carefully selected with a view to appropriateness; and the or chestra will play throughout the show ing of each picture, characteristic mu- sic which has been carefully prepared.
 For the afternoon the vitascope has been secured, the committee having sent to New York for the remarkable invention together with new series of pictures Mrs. Coburn- Smiths dances by her best pupils will also be feature of the afternoon programme.
 Tickets have been selling well, but the house for either in not yet sold out, a number of good seats being still left at the theater All New Haven is in- terested in the Day nurseries, and the homes of the tots must be made com fortable for the summer Of the many charities in New Haven none is more deserving, and the coffers of the nur- series should be filled to the brim.

IN NASHVILLE.

If one can judge from rehearsals, cer- tainly last nights rehearsal must have proved to those present that the enter tainment to be given this and tomorrow evenings, April 20th and Fist, for the benefit of West Rock Lodge, No. AS, A. 0. U. w., far exceeds anything ever given in Westville before. Opera in costume is a rare thing in small places on account of the great expense attend ing such an undertaking. But I don't think West Rock Lodge will ever have cause to regret the venture they are making, nor the people who attend the operas of Pinafore and Lady Nancy ever regret they went. With Mrs. l.. B. Hollis as director, and such soloists as Miss Lillian Abbott, MT. E. A. Smith of Trinity church choir, Mr. F. R. Lang dale and others, the entertainment can not fail to be a success.

He went back and forth be- tween these places for year or two, and then business took him to South NorWalk in 1861 or '62, since when he has been a daily commuter except for a period in 1863, when he went to the front, serving under General Ben" Butler MT. Smith is brother of Conductor Smith of the Danbury road and is a well known man, especially among com muters.

H1LLHoUsE DEFEATED.

The Hillhouse High school boys were defeated by the Betts academy team at Stamford yesterday afternoon by the score of 19 to IS. Up to the last inning 1t looked like victory for the home team At the beginning of the seventhA inning the score stood IS to 10 in favor of the latter. Hausman in the box wass holding his opponents down in fitie style, backed up by the good work of the entire field. Betts had started off with lead of five runs, but tfiss by sharp, careful playing the home team reduced inning by inning until in the fifth the score stood to in favor of Hillhouse. Newman in the box for the Stamford team pitched splendid game and but few of his opponents found their bases on balls. In the seventhsin- ming, though Taylor was substituted in Hausman's place and for two innings pitched good ball, Betts being shut out X without a run. Hillhouse failed to score in this inning, but with the game all their own way did not get worried
 In the next inning, though, Taylor af- ter giving three men bases on balls seemed flustered and allowed his op. ponents to hit him at will A wild throw from short to first let in two runs while a pop fly to the outfield which the fielder failed to catch and seemed v to lose for the moment let in another. The inning closed with nine runs more to. the credit of the Betts team. Hill- hohse at her last try at the bat failed to score. and the game closed, Betts 19, Hillhouse 13.
 The make un of the teams was as follows:
 Hillhousa-- Osborn. 1b; Taylor, ss: Kochersperger, ss; Hausman, D; Tay- Tor, D: Benham. c; Hackett, 2b; Roth, of; Kennedy. If; Price, 3b; Brown, If.
