ACTOR VAN BUREN,s SUCCESS.
New Haven Youth Scores Hitlin Phila-
 delnhia Theater

New Haven Youth Scores Hitlin PhiIa~
 delphia Theater.
 A. H. Van Buren, youngest son of Manager William H. Van Buren of the Hyperion and Grand theaters, and who was gold medal man in his senior year at the leading dramatic school in this country, is playing the leading char- acters in a we'll balanced stock conn pany at the BiJou theater in Philadel- pllia and has scored substantial success according to the Philadelphia papers,. It appears the company is playing the sterling comedy Confusion and it proved too short to conform with the managers idea of time and he asked MT. Van Buren if he would furnish a curtain riser. The papers state that the request was made at the conclusion of the matinee performance but MT. Van Buren and Miss Helen Travers pre- pared and presented at the evening per- formance as curtain riser, .sThe Enlis- sary of the Czar. 7
 Tn commenting on the production the Public Ledger of July 28 says: Not withstanding the very brief notice the dialogue was given perfectly and served to bring out in fine relief the talents of MT. Van Buren and Miss Travers. Both players scored strongly and last evenings audience gave them a well- deserved oration at the fall of the cur- tain on the tense scene sof the rescue. Whoever shall be fortunate enough to see them this week may account it a fortune.

MISSING FROM HOME.
Maurice Manning Has Not Been Seen
 for More Than A. Week.

Maurice Manning Has Not Been Seen
 for More Than Week.
 Unless Maurice Manning, a young man about twenty years of age, returns to his home on Oak street to-day the police will be asked to lend their assist ance in an endeavor to find him. A week ago Saturday 1t seems that young Manning, who is quiet sort of chap, asked one of his brothers to join him in a short walk, but this request was not granted. Young Manning then bade his brother good bye, remarking at the time that he would never see him again.
 The lad has apparently kept his word because he has not been seen or heard of since that time. His parents are much worked up over the sudden and unexplained disappearance. He has been employed at the Anthony & Sco- will company on Day street for some time past and it, Is said that when he left home he hadl quite a sum of money in his possession.
 The family have made diligent search for the lad but have failed to find any trace of his whereabouts. They state that they know of no relatives or friends with whom the lad could have remained for a week. It is more than likely that the matter will be placed in the hands of the local police to-day,

THE BRIDGEPORT RACES.
THREE CONTESTS AT NUTMEG
 TRACK.
The Assenaanes-many Attrao.lona Near the 'Trotsing Park-paraealars of the Regular saturday ma,,n.e.

The Attendance-nIany Attractions
 Near the STrotting Park-paresea,.rs
 of the Regular Saturday matinee.
 Three races were decided at Nutmeg park in the suburbs of Bridgeport on Saturday afternoon before a small but enthusiastic audience in the covered grand stand and the usual attendance or owners and horse fancieys on the quarter stretch and in other convenient locations. The reason why the first class races are not more extensively patronized has not been satisfactorily explained. The matinee races are held every week and are given in a locality that has a surfeit of attractions in the amusement line. At this season of the year the seashore resorts near the park are popular, as attested by the immense- crowds in attendance, while the inland resorts in the Naugatuck and Housa- tonic valleys with their picturesque mountain scenery, have considerable patronage during the summer months. Baseball, circuses, and other attrac- tons are also in the line of opposition. That the people of this section pay as much or more than the average citizen for amusement is also evident when fh& situation is considered.
 The able managers of the track are taking extra pains to make the park attractions first class, consequently it IS presumed that patronage will in crease as the racing season advances and that the later races will be profit ably patronized. As the present owners of the park are competent and wealthy business men. the outlook ist favorable.
 The officials were F. U. Newton, E. A. Godfrey and E. L. vanderburgh, judges; G. M. Hanchett timer; pr. R. D. Martin, secretary; James Havens, clerk, and pr. T. F. Martin, starter. The two slow classes were decided ac- scording to the order of the names in the following table
