PATRONS OF USBANDRY.
Connecticut State Grange.

10 the Editor Of the Journal and Courier:
1t cannot fail to be interesting to the
majority of minds TO note the advance
of all that is calculated to help us live
wisely and comfortably, and that is just
what the patrons of Husbandry Or
der is trying to accomplish.
The county Pomona meetings are well
attended by members of the subordinate
oranges from which they are made, and
Wednesday, May lG, 1900, witnessed a
very interesting one with Columbia
grange in the beautiful town of Column
bia, high upon the hills of Tolland coun-
ty and amid the wondrous apple bloom
of this year no more fitting place could
have been chosen to worship nature
than here, where eye and heart could
feast on typical scenery and the thought
it represented.
A goodly number gathered at the Old
Inn, which was once a famous hosiery
and where the stage bringing mail and
passengers paused in its long journey to
refresh man and beast.
The meeting was held in the east
~
source of wonder to your correspondent,
being the first Of its kind we had ever
seen. The morning session, as usual,
was given over to business and the in
structing of a class in Pomona degrees,
and at noon the long dining room was
filled with partakers of as fine ban
quet as New England skill can serve,
and all know it is second to none.
The afternoon yielded literary pleas
ures without stint and the enthusiastic
expressions Of thought; the fine singing
by male quartette, whose sympathetic
voices touched the heart, was some
thing to be remembered, and had we not
known before we should certainly now
realize that the work of the grange has
arisen to meet an important demand
with a most proyident supply, and it is
time for the majority to ask it's mean
ing and receive it's helpful answers.
Columbia grange is active, poised and
progressive The hall of the Old Inn,
however will soon see them no more,
as Mrs. w. II. Yeomans, an active ma
iron and officer has donated to the
town fathers, the grange and other
town societies a building which is in
process of erection and is to be known
as "Yeomans Memorial Hail. All
who are not opposed to agriculture (and
who can say they areO can enjoy the
plentitude Of grange help and the power
of it's active principles, which are al
ready demonstrated to several thou
sands of Connecticut Patrons This
meeting in Columbia Of the East Cen
trail Pomona was one of the many pleas
ant gatherings which are lights along
the shore and blest to the wayfarer,
wherever he may be. M. e. l..

naent of stage training. Those who at
tended Cyrano de Bergerac and noticed
the assembling of the audience at the
mimic theater, and those who attended
"The Only Way" and saw the delirious
mob In the revolutionary courtroom,
will know what is meant. The mimic
| audience of the Yale play will be per-
haps the most interesting dramatis per-
soma of the evening.
Fortunately the old plays which have
been selected for this OCCASION lend
themselves with singular facility to dra'
matte action. Of the mystery play not
little has already been said in the
press. Chaucer's Pardoner's Tale also
is singularly consonant with modern
ideas of acting, and considerably less
knotty in some respects than the Shep-
herd Play. The opening scene, where a
group of boisterous carousers are as
sembled before a tavern, is quite exhila-
rating; and the play affords the So
called faction" situations and eli
makes" in a way which (to speak in
paradox is quantity modern.

YALE DRAMATIC VENTURE
A PERFORMANCE OF RARE MERIT
, TC-MORROV NIGHT.
At the Hyperion by the College Dram-
attic AssOciatiOn-M MIR. Howe of Yale In
the Leading RoIe-The Supporting
Company-Thc Play.

Three things concur in promising sue
cess to the Yale dramatic venture.
Three elements conducive to artistic ex-
cellence bid fair to place the perfor-
nance incomparably above the usual
work of collegianS and amateurs. First
of these is a complete system of diligent
preparation, conducted by an expert
enced professional; second IS the pres
ence in the cast of one experienced ac-
tor; and third, the moderation of the
performance in regard to length.
The value of comparative brevity in
amateur performances will be grateful
ly appreciated by those who have en-
>joyed good artists and tolerated bad
amateurs. Even a good amateur can
not be expected to sustain interest for
so many consecutive minutes as an ar
fist; and the Yale players, while fur
nishing full evenings entertainment,
have laid deliberate plans not to exceed
a reasonable time limit; so that when
the curtain drops the audience may be
more likely to wish for more than to be
tired of so much.
The experienced actor in. the cast is
come to Yale, and it is to the stage that
he expects to devote himself after his
graduation in 1901 All of the cast are
expected to acquit themselves with cred
it. but Mr.. Howe Is perhaps the most
reliable, and to him have been assigned
the more difficult parts of the two plays.
The system of training, conducted by
Mr. Short Of Frohman's, has been as
complete as that pursued in the Amer
lean Academy of Dramatic Arts, where
Mr.. Short got his own theatrical educa-
ton and afterwards taught. BY him
the Yale actors have been put through
q course of sprouts" which is eXacting
and thorough to the last syllable. For
weeks past every night but Sunday has
been devoted to hard work on complete
scenes; and on every afternoon individ-
ual members of the cast have been sep
arately drilled in their respective roles.
Neither pains nor expense have been
spared, nor any stone left unturned
which could result in good; and, as an
upshot, the performance must prove al
together exceptional for its articulation
and definiteness. Actors will not stand
in one another'S way, Will not talk too
much "up-stage," will not humble, will
not distract attention from their lines
by fidgeting with their properties;
and to come to the affirmative advan-
tages, some of the young men are be-
ginning to strike occasional fire in the
delivery of their lines. But chief of all
the advantages to be derived from such
discipline Is that which accrues to the
collective action of the play-what is
known as ensemble" The individuals
may still be amateurs but the whole
group will be almost an artist. The ar
ranging of a number of people on the
stage at one time, and their mutual but
artfully disguised cooperation in acting
for the audience while dealing with one
another, is the most difficult depart
