PoIi,s Theater.

It is really. a comedy show at Poli's this week. but then there is novelty enough and of superior nature to make the bill most interesting one throughout. Crowded houses have greeted the show at the opening week and everything has tended to make this session a rousing opening one for Man ager Poli. The chief feature this week is Emmett Devoy and his company in the sketch 'The Saintly MT Billings"
 There is a feat In the act of the Ma renos that is the talk of the town. It occurs twice in their act, and is per- formed by the conical members os the trio. It's sumner and has them all guessing.
 Holden and Florence are very good in a comedy and operatic number entitled "The Fairy of Killarney" some hand some scenery and pleasing songs are given, Antrim and Peters have. the opening act with good vocal limitations and some good whistling seats. Hoey and Lee do all sorts of stunts with a lively conversation and the latest jokes. Their parodies are the talk of the town this week. especially the one on "Hia- watha." It is a good one, and many would like to hear them sing it more than once. Hoey and Lee are installed as favorites this week.

Grand Opera House,

Howard Hall, that splendid young ac-
 tor who has been an idol of patrons of the Grand Opera house for several sea sons, was greeted most enthusiastically
 by a tremendous audience at the popu- lar playhouse last night. It was con- clusively demonstrated that this young. actor has won an enViable and lasting place in the hearts of theater- goers in this city.
 The performance last night was su- perb and thrilling presentation of MT.
 Halls own play, ''The Man Who Dared" It has been given in New Ha- ven several times, but it's popularity is ever increasing, as was attested by the standing room only'' house last night. Not only is MT. Hall an actor of more
 than ordinary dramatic ability, which
 proves a big drawing card, but the character which he assumes in the piece is one which affords abundant scope for a display of his versatility. His dash into the cage of lions and, at the peril of his life, rescuing a lady's glove was a climax to a thrilling scene, which was
 greeted with deafening applause ''The Man Who Dared'' has numerous sen- sational climaxes, which are superbly worked up. Ably supporting MT. Hall was Miss
 Ethel Fuller, an emotional actress of exceptional talent, who essayed the role of Countess Rita in manner which won the admiration of all. Clara Joel,
 Grace Keatow, Montgomery Irving and others of equal prominence are among the personnel of the supporting com pany. .r &t .,f "The Man Who Dared'' is in five acts and deals principally with a fickle wo-
 man who changes her affections on slight provocation, and she casts off her
 husband for others. The husband learns of the death of an immensely wealthy
 brother and assumes his personality
 with the result that after numerous
 complications the identity is revealed.
 This enrages the lover and he stays the woman and is'in turn killed by the hus-
 band. These situations are exception ally strong and permit of display of MT. Halls intense dramatic ability.
 "The Man Who Dared" will be given at the Grand Opera house tonight and tomorrow night, with matinee to-
 morrow. $5tA,- r.4& "

Y Creatore's Retufn Engagement

r 4 < !. H is Creatore's Rerufn Engagement.
 Creatore and his Italian band are to play return enlargement at the Hy- periori' theater on Thursday and Friday evenings, September 24th and 18th, and matinee Friday afternoon, September 25th.,
 The New Haven public will remember that Creatore made great sensation here last season. and numbers os peo- pie wanted to hear him again.
 He was a magnet at the exposition, which recently opened at Pittsburg. The following is from the Pittsburg Des- patch: a
 "How the eccentric conductor did en- ter into his evenings work! At. the beginning of each concert he was much applauded, and came upon the platform shaking that shaggy mane, which he makes an expressive physical aid, and in a quick impetuous stride. which al- most amounted to lope, he made for the conductors desk. The discipline of the Creatoer band is apparent upon his entrance. Each individual raises his shoulders and instrument like a German soldier at salute when the bristling ern- peror of the Germans appears. This same disciplien begets most splendid ensemble in the band. It was particu- law obvious in the rendition of the Mendelssohn wedding march. A gor- geous soldi. faWless brass tone t5of amazing volume came upon the ear, The effect is fine, whether you see Crea- tore give His Svengali diversion or not. The spasmodic Italian has his idiosyn- eracies backed by genuine music.
 That he is full of musical sympathy, and that his temperament is marked by versatility is evident when he plays an accompaniment: One would imagine that this black spirit of music would never be able to repress himself in an accompaniment. And when Mime Barilli sang the waltz song, 'Parla, written by Arditi for Madame Sem brich, the instrumental portion was done as daintily as one could wish. |

GOVERNMENT REPORT.

Week Has Been Favorable For the Growing Crops.
 United States Department of Agricul- ture, Climate and Crop Bulletin of the Weather Bureau, New England Section, for the week ending Monday, septem- Der
 Many correspondents report that the week just past has been more favora- ble for crop growth than any week of the present season. Many crops were in great need of warmth and sunshine, and would be vastly benefited by con- .tinuance of warm weather, and, without 1t it is doubtful if the results of the harvest will be satisfactory.
 Grain-a Corn has continued to inn prove, the early planted ripening, and the late planted setting. The yield,
 however, under the most favorable cir scufnstances from now on will not come up to the average. The canning facto- ries are hapeful of getting a larger amount than last year, but the output
 will be below the average Field corn will be poor crop and silage probably not as good as usual. Small grains
 have yielded good crops of excellent
 quality, the harvest being now nearly completed. Buckwheat has not done as well as in some seasons, although a fair crop is looked for.
 Grass Having is about completed,
 except on very low land, and much of
 the second crop has also been secured
 Both crops are probably up to the av-
 craze both in amount and quality
 Fall feed remains good and the outlook lis favorable for plenty the remainder of
 the season. Although more than the usual amount of Hungarian was sown the crop will not be up to the average
 owing to the unfavorable weather. | Fruit-In some localities there is ar abundance of pears of good quality while in others they are very scarce
 The same statement is applicable to ap- ples, although the general opinion is that the crop will be little above the average for an off year. Berries of al sorts are about gone by, th@yield oi blueberries having been small, while raspberries and blackberries were plentiful. The cranberry crop is being harvested, the yield being below tht average amount.
 Vegetables.-The week saw an i'm. provement in most garden vegetables There are many green tomatoes, but SC far their ripening has been very slow Cabbage and turnips are in excellent condition, as are also beets and celery
 The greater portion of the onion cror l has been harvested. Many potato field: K are injured by blight and rot, ant showers are hastening digging ant marketing. The quality of most of tn,
 crop so far in market is not of the best l Hits probable that many fields will es eape ths rot aud produce 3 good crQp

The animal attempted to rise but failed the first time. and succeeded the second continuing on up the street with the wagon hanging onto him with merely a few strips Of the harness holding it. The horse ran straight through Elm stree: and turned into Howe street to Edgewood avenue and then in to the barn.
 The horse was not badly injured, but sustained a number of bad cuts and bruises and will perhaps be. laid up for several days. The wagon was quite badly damaged. ..zs s.
 When the horse dashed onto the side walk on Elm street it came perilously near running over a baby carriage which was standing on the sidewalk. Several pedestrians pushed the buggy out of danger.

 Popular Airs by n High Glass Bend
 Particulars of the TrOttiug and Pae-
 Ing Races.
 The Branford fair came to close yes terday afternoon after four days of good weather and patronage that in the ag- gregate was considerable. The record breaking attendance on Labor day add ed to the number Of patrons on the three following days must have been the best in the history of the fair. The free horse car ride through fields, farms and forest and. alongside of the great rocks and running brooks with the oc- easional wild flowers was as enjoyable as ever. The free horse cars are prop erly referred to as an illustration of Proprietor Fisk's liberality.
 The attractions at the fair and races were as good as ever. In the hall which contained the articles of interest to the ladies were some great curiosities. In one corner of the hall was wonderfully constructed home made harrow which was made of wood without either nails bolts or screws.
 The balloon ascension and parachute drop was as successful as ever.
 The flock of homing pigeons that were liberated attracted the attention of the crowd.
 The concert music of the Second Reg iment band was better than during any day of the fair. After the popular "Hiawatha" came sort of whistling solo called 'Warbling Bird Serenade," which was much enjoyed by all present, especially the judges of the race, who stopped all conversation and gave close attention to the delightful music which they applauded to indicate that they de- sired an encore.
 The story of the horse races is told in the following summaries:

Hyperion rhsa.sr.

Kathryn osterman will be seen at the Hyperion tonight and tomorrow night in dramatization by George T. Richardson of Dwight Tilton's splendid and interesting novel, Miss Petit coats." This is considered to be one of the most important productions of the season and it's presentation is of special interest locally on account of it's authorship. The dramatization is by George T. Richardson, the dramatic edi- tor of the Boston Traveller, and is made from the novel of the same name which was written by Wilder D. Quint who is managing editor and literary critic of the Traveller and by MT. Richardson. The novel was written under the pseu- donym of Dwight Triton and it will be remembered that there was considera- ble mystery as to its authorship for a long time, because. the authors had sub- mitted their manuscript anonymously to the publishers and concealed their identity from even them (C, M Clark company, of Boston, for long time. In fact it was not until they submitted the manuscript for a second novel, aOn Satan's Mount" that they revealed themselves. More recently these writ CTS came into public view very conspic- uously through writing under the name of Charles Eustace Merriman, the Let ters of Son to His Self Made Father in answer to the Letters of Self Made Merchant to His Son.
 Miss Osterman is very favorably known to New England theatergoers, having appeared in several productions ion which she assumed stellar roles. magnificent scenes, inert will be. fifty speaking parts, and in some of the scenes one hundred people aer required on the stage.
