TRAINED BIRDS AT JACQUES.

A
 Rosa Naynon's troupe of 100 trained tropical birds have proved a decidedly popular novelty at the Jacques, two large and enthusiastic audiences being delighted again yesterday with their marvellous exhibition. It is so totally unlike ordinary attractions, and there is such novelty about an exhibition of intelligence by beautiful birds, that people take to it naturally as some thing to be admired and wondered at. The novelty which W. H. Murphy and Blanche Nichols introduce under the title of 'The Bifurcated Girl'' is like wise proving popular. And so, too, are the limitations which Katie Rooney gives of her lamented father Pat Rooney, andethe attractive comedietta presented by Frank Gardner and Lot tie Vincent under the title of An Idyll of the Links" Very pleasing numbers also are those introduced by Phil and Nettie Peters, Foster and Foster, Smith and Powell, and the electrograph. Prices are 10. 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

BEEN HUR.
Preparations Begins for Klaw @ Er-
 lanser's Production in This City.

Startling in its immensity, the big gest production ever made within the four walls of playhouse, klaW & Er- hangers massive and magnificent dra- matic spectacular presentation of Gen eral Lew Wallace's famous romance, Ben Hur," will be presented ill this city at the Poli theater April IS, 10 and 20, with a special matinee.
 Edward G. Cooke. general repre- sentative for Klaw & Erlanger, ar rived in the city yesterday to superin- tend the preliminary arrangements for the staging. When seen by rep resentative of this paper, MT Cooke said: q am agreeably surprised in the stage of the Poli theater. It is excellent, and admits of as large a staging of the spectacle as the Colo ial theater, Boston; the Illinois thea ter, Chicago, or the Broadway theater, New York city. In all of these play houses Ben Hur' ran for months. Of course many alterations will have to be made here. but they are so sim- pie to the expert stage mechanist now adays that little attention is paid to same.
 '"The alterations that will be made include he widening of the girders, the hanging of more lines-owing to the many drop scenes that form the production; the cutting of the stage into sliding traps and the building of sub-stage underneath, so that all the heavy machinery used in the chariot race scene will work easily. This scene is worked with regularity sim- liar to the ticking of a clock. It is i done by electricity. The audience is shown eight horses galloping as fast and furiOusly as ever marked race on any course in the world, harnessed to two chariots First Ben Hur is ahead, then Messala. then as if gift ed with new life. the animals driven ] by Ben Hur forge their way steadily l toward the front again, Plunging | forward in their mad gallop and struggling for supremacy, the two char fots are brought together. One ot the wheels on Messala's chariot is knocked off and. seemingly, he is hurled headlong under the prancine hoofs of his fiery steeds. This scene is unquestionablv the most realistic in the history of the stage.
 Ten 6O-foot baggage cars are re quifed to transport the scenic effects of this colossal spectacle, while two stock cars are utilized to care for the horses and camels used in the produc tion. The company numbers close or to $50 persons and is the same. witt very few changes. that has been pre- senting the play since it was brough out at the Broadway theater, New York city. November 2S, 1899. Dur ing the engagement of Ben Hur'' 1T Waterbury special excursions will be run from points within a radius of 5( miles This will give everybody il the vicinity, who are anxious to wit ness this world-famed religious TO nance, as dramatized by William Young, an opportunity to journey here and enjoy it. Local merchants vii also reap a benefit, for everywhere that Ben Hur" has been presented f has attracted thousands from the SIT rounding towns to the city where i 1 is being staged" ~T
