| The Grand Opera house was crowded
! last night with the largest audience Of
the season to see that old but ever pop
/ ular play "Uncle Toms Cabin" pre-
scented by Stetson's original big com
pany, which is recognized to be with
out peer in this piece The, spectac-
ular effects were marvelously good and
every member of the company puts
into his or her part all the life and
feeling, pathos or humor which this
piece needs to make 1t effective The
audience was a generous one, and
many times deafening applause showed
The keen appreciation felt at the fine
production. Worked in with the frame
Work of the piece are many pleasing
specialties which add much to the ex-
cellence Of the play. Included in these
are the Dewey quartet, two Topsies
and their antics the Creole Lady quar-
tet, genuine southern cake walk and
a grand allegorical transformation, The
Rock of Ages, the Haven of Rest, the
Golden Gates Ajar, and Eva in Heaven,
a scene beautiful beyond description
and which touched every one in the
vast audience present. Male Jackson,
the Aunt Ophelia of the company, gives
most unique conception of the part
of the New England spnster and re-
lieves some of the pathetic scenes of
the ten scenes, which otherwise would
be oppressvely effective to people of
fine sensibilities. Catherine Morgan
and Bertha Carter as the two Topses
are probably two of the best artists
ever playing that in many respects diff
ficult part j. D. Barnes as George
Harris George Harris as Marks,
sr. and Harry G. Rockwell as
Marks, jr, and Harry G. Richmond as
st. Clair, Freddie Brookman as Eliza,
Frederick Bennett as Uncle Tom, and

remarkably good in their respective
roles. The piece will be repeated to-

LAST NIGHTS POLO.
New Haven Defeats Meriden-Bone
Knocked Senseless.

New Haven Defeats Meriden-Bone
Knocked Senseless.
The New Haven polo team won last
night at Meriden by a score Of 8 to
in most exciting game, which was
either clubs contest until the gong
sounded. The Blues played q rafting
all round scientific contest. Bone and
Warner played like a flash and Cana
van, Whiting and Lations, put up a de-
Tense that was almost impregnable. The
home team with the exception of Jeans
and Hayes played, a splendid game.
But in seeing their inability to score
the two latter players started to rough
it, especially was 1t so in the case Of the
latter who tripped and held the New
Haven rushers at every conceivable OPP
portunity, and but for the prompt in
reference Of Referee Lush, who got the
home crowd down on him for his con-
scientious work, the game would have
turned into a regular melee. In spite
of Meriden's rather questionable tao
tics everything went well until within
few minutes of the finish of the
game, when Jeans came in contact
with Bone again and laid the latter
out. He had to be carried off the floor,
and Whipple took his place. Had the
home team put up the game they are
capable of and let the roughing part
alone they might have come out better,
but as it was the New Haven team by
it's superior all round play won.
To-night's game will be with the
same team, and crowded rink ought
to be present to encourage the Blues,
who are now right after the pennant
aspirants from Hartford. Seats are
greatly in demand, and to prevent dis
patrons should secure
them during the day at Wells cigar
store on Chapel street.

A SHORT RAIL FLEW OUT.
A Southern Pacific Train Wrecked In
n Peculiar Manner.

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 25.-The South
ern Pacific owl train coming up from Los
Angeles, was wrecked near Antioch this
morning by short rail which flew out
after four sleeping cars and the engine
had passed. The train parted and these
passed on in safety, but the three other
cars left the track. including the Ginning
car. There were only four people at
breakfast when the crash came. Mrs.
Frank Wells. of Fruitville, who had been
on her wedding tour, was seriously hur;
by broken glass.
The train was late and the engineer
was trying 10 make up time. 1t was
strange that so few were hurt, as the de-
rallied coaches were turned on their side
and the ties for over two hundred yards
were twisted and plowed up. Two cooks
on the dining car were badly sca!ded by
hot coffee. Glass from the broken WIN
dows few all over one passenger and his
clothes were ruined. but he only received
cuts in one hand. The brakeman showed
his presence OF mind by rushing up The
track and tagging the Southern express,
thus preventing a rear-end collision.

THE STRAUSS CONCERT.
A Large Audience Enjoys the wen.

Washingtonians showed their apprecia-
ton of Eduard Strauss and his Viennese

rewarded with one of the best concerts
that has been heard locally in a long

Cbouin's Funeral March, orchestrated by
Herr Eduard himself Both OF these num-
hers we're played with distinction
The audience was wrought up to the
highest pitch of enthusiasm, however,
when the orchestra was performing the
works of the Strauss family, represented
by Johann and Eduard. The assemblage
had turned out primarily to hear the
dance music of this world-famed family,
and intolerable disappointment would
have ensued had the programme failed to
meet their expectations. 1t was for this
reason that when, as an encore to WIENER
Blut," the maestro swung the whole
diapason of his forty-six instruments into
the swirl and sweep of THE Beautiful
Blue Danube" the house thrilled with sin
cere and profound emotion. The old valse
is familiar hackneyed, and extremely
commonplace, but it is rhythmic. beating
with a pulse like that of the human heart,
and it is fraught with significance, every
strain making its appeal to sentiments
which all human beings-except, perhaps.
classical eXperts-share in common.
Strauss himself, although somewhat
changed since his last visit to this coun-
try ten years ago. is essentially the same
conductor He retains his familiar Me-
phistophelean makeup and the darting,
restless movements and the incessant en-
phasiZing OF time are characteristics that
easily distinguish the Austrian from ma
tive leaders. He is still the beau in as
pect and behavior. He conducts with ease,
grace. and authority and he continues to
mark time with his foot and gives the ap-
pearance of trying to keep from dancing.
