If one desires to witness something extraordinary in the gymnastic line he has but to witness the act of the Three Joscarrys at Polls theater. Last night these three wonder workers fairly held the audience spellbound with their marvellous act. Dressed as if to go to dinner, they appear on the stage and start a round of feats that fairly astounds the audience. Human arches and pyramids are created in an instant and host of other good feats are thrown in besides.
 The three Gardner children, Airline, Edgar and Helen, have. a dainty song and dance speciality; ]. K. Emmett and Anna Mortlandl have clever western story, "A South Dakota Divorce, in which Emmett renders some songs; Smith and Fuller as the clever musical artists. and Miss Fuller's special nunl- Der on the harp, came in for generous applause; Ford and Wilson appear as the black face entertainers; Cliff Cor don knows why Parker was defeated and isn't afraid to tell 1t; the American Macks, and the electrograph closed the bin.
 Prices: Evenings, 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons, 10 and 20 cents; ladies at matinees, 10 cents; box seats, 50 cents.

NEW PLAN FOR CUT
Proposed Yesterday by the Consolidat-
 ed Road.

Proposed Yesterday by the Consolidat-
 ed Road.
 A new plan by which it is proposed to lessen the proposed grades at Woos- ter and Chapel streets, consequent on the four-tracking through the cut, has been submitted to the railroad com missioners by the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford Railroad company. A copy of the amended application has been received by Corporation Counsel Daggett from counsel for the railroad. The original is with the railroad com missioners, and a hearing will be as signed by that board shortly on the new phase of the matter Mir. Daggett understands that the hearing on the main proposition has been concluded, and that when the next hearing IS held it will be on the changes now proposed only.
 By the terms of the amended appli- cation the railroad company proposes to raise the grade of State street 22 feet at the intersection of Wooster street, and thus providing a five per cent. grade on Wooster street to the top of the railroad bridge. three per cent. grade is proposed on State street each side of Wooster, 65 feet north of Wooster and 95 feet south. That is, State street is to be raised, if this plan is adopted beginning at point 95 feet south of Wooster, three per cent. to the highest point at the in tersection of the two streets, and then down or the other side for a distance of 65 feet at the same grade.
 The effect of this change is to reduce the grade from State street to the pro- posed new bridge over the tracks from 6.6 per cent, as originally asked, to 5 per cent.
 The change at Chapel street, from State street to the bridge. contemplates uniform per cent. grade from the present surface of the street to the highest point on the new bridge The former plan provided for scoop-like grade, at one point of which there would be a grade of z per cent. This means drop of 2 per cent. in grade, No Change is proposed in the grade at State street.
 Both of these plans are regarded as having distinct advantages over those in the original application, but Corpor- ation Counsel Daggett will in all prob- ability appear and demand still further concessions from the company when the hearing is held on the amended ap- plications. The board of aldermen is yet to take action on the matter.
 As no hearing has been fixed on the amended application the property own- CTS on State, Chapel and Wooster streets have not yet been served with personal notice. .s@-
 The most noticeable change suggest ed is that pertaining to the elevation of State street. It will raise the street and sidewalks for 8 distance of about i21O feet Land damages which may arise will have to be paid by the rail- road company. As the Consolidated Railway company is controlled by the steam road no opposition will be en- countered from it.
 The proposed change on State street will affect c. s. Mersick & O., c. w. Whitlesey & Co, Weed & Co.,, F. S. Porter, Bronson & Townsend company and several others.

MRS. GILBERT INFER FAREWELL
 TO GRANNY. :.
OTIS SKINNER

Jean Richepin's poetic romance of pastoral setting, which Otis Skinner is to present at the Hyperion theater to- morrow night, is in part the autobi- ography of the distinguished French author. The appearance of the half gypsy half French poet and dramatist creates a strong impression of roman tic life and adventure which is not dis appointing when one inquires into the detail of his experience, for he has been in his time soldier, sailor, school master, a public wrestler at fairs, and at one period chansonnier-enchef (chief song writer) for a band of strolling gypsies.
 MT. Skinner's The Harvesters' has its scenes laid in that fair plain of the St. Lawrence river, which was once all Iroquois. but in the time of this action (1350) inhabited by simple God-fearing French Canadian farmers and trappers

New Hnyen Thenter.

The great New York subway has fur nished material for many hundreds of lcolumns of space In the newspapers of the country, and as feat of engineer ing it has been held up as a marvel of greatness and one of the greatest achievements of the present day. But 1t remained for Jean Caldwell to fur nish the first story which has been dramatized and offered for the enter tainment and ediacation of the people in all parts of the country.
 "The Secret of the Subway" is the title of this piece and 1t was presented for the first time of q three-night and matinee engagement at the New Haven theater last evening to an audience of considerable proportions. The story told, while not new in any particular l sense, brings to the auditor new scenes under situations and surroundings which make the play intensely Interest ing. The foundation of the story is the murder and robbery of an old man who has been the friend and counsellor of a woman who, mad with love for vil- lainous character, stoops to anything to serve him and win his attentions. The horrible crime is forced upon an inno- cent daughter, and the play carries out the details of the efforts of most ar dent lover and close friends to secure the release of the innocent girl and track down the guilty party.
 "'The Secret of the Subway is in five acts and seven scenes. In scenic effects this play rivals any that has been pre- scented at the New Haven theater this season Its strong situations and ex-. citing climaxes are stirring to degree, and the audience last night became very enthusiastic at opportune mo- ments. The depicting of various parts of the subway was quite true to nature and much enjoyed.
 The company presenting this piece is strong one and the members are we'll adapted to their respective characters. The play is under the management of James K. Blake, who has been amuse- ment manager for Savin Rock for sey- eral seasons past. He is well known in New Haven, and his many friends are wishing for him success in this new venture. A.
 ''The Secret of the Subway" will be repeated this and to-1morroW evenings and tomorrow afternoon.
 "A Woman's struggle.'' which is be- ing presented by L. N. Jelenko is the first dramatic production ever produced in which a baseball game in full blast is shown to the audience. Tn the third act the last scene discloses Jack Han- son., the hero, pitching for the Giants at the Polo grounds

These were sent out from Perth Amboy and other coal shipping points in New Jersey, and sent east i through the sound to South Norwalk, Bridgeport, New Haven and New Lon don. Some of the tows went as far east as Providence.

When Edwin Booth. Lawrence Bar rett and others were struggling for recognition. the lady since known to us as Queen Mother of the American Stage" was well known to theatergoers. Always beloved for her delicate sense of humor and her skillful handling of pathos, to-day more than ever does Mrs. Gilbert merit such splendid des- ignation. In her sixty years on the stage this octogenaTian star has played in over a hundred productions, But it has remained for the clever Clyde Fitch to suit her to the one role of her en- tire career, Granny" in the perform anee in which she exempliies every side of her versatile genius.

 ..Letty'' and William Faversham both to be seen at tha Hyperion on Novem- Der IT, scored one of the most import ant dramatic successes during It's run in New York that have been chronioled for many years. A dozen curtain calls after his big scene in the fourth act at least was given 1t every night. There lis no question of the quality and di- mensions of the stars trlum3h. It marks an epoch in his career, as his success in the role of Lord Skene in .The Masqueraders'' did in his earlier years. MT. Faversham has never acted with finer or greater power and dis elimination than in the part of Neyill Letchmere.

 David Harum" will be presented at the New Haven theater on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, November 2l, 2 and g with matinee Wednesday, with W. H. Turner as the shrewd, sharp and witty old countryman, made famous by Edward Moves Westcott's widely read book. Upon it's first pro- duction in New York 1t ran for sixteen weeks and it's success there, which it later repeated in Chicago and Boston, was immense. It has three scenea that are likely to be long remembered. One is the horse trade with Deacon Per kins. The second shows the deacon try ing to drive the balky horse during a heavy shower of rain. The third shows the sitting room of Aunt Polly's home on Christmas morning when David tells the story of his boyhood visit to the circus and of the whipping which fol- lowed. MT. Calm has given the play a thoroughly adequate production, and the company is one Of much strength and cleverness, identical to the one seen at the Garrick theater, New York city.
