nature of homecoming for the ironclad floating fortresses of the present day, for the site of their anchorage in Hampton Roads is the scene of the first battle that ever took place between ships of that con struction. On April S-9, 1862, the Monitor, under the command of Cap tain Winslow of the United States navy, and the Merrimac, eunder the command of Captain Buchanon of the confederate states navy met in daily conflict in Hampton Roads It was the first clash between ironclads. The navies of the world are now made up of ironclads and hence the of reunion on the site of their initial test
 This display will mark an epoch in history. There huge monsters of destruction and death will meet to- gether in amicable salute. The end of international peace will be strengthened by that as- semblage and it's instructive value to the millions of exposition visitors will be paramount.
 The romance or the sea, US IuTy, its horror as well as it's calm and at traction will be exhibited to the mind and impressed on the heart The ever present element of danger will be seen through an environment of stately and formidable impressive ness. It will be metaphor of the ocean. vast, expansive, overwhelm- ing. yet cheering, ennobling and up- lifting. It will be sight worth see ing. It will hardly ever again occur in the worlds history.

THE OLD HOMESTEAD"

Denman Thompsons always ad- mirable "Old Homestead" is an- nounced for presentation at Polls Friday evening with William Law renee as Joshua. Of this quaint, de- lightful old New England idyl noth- ing new can be written, any more than of some of the older classics, for the. play is a classic, even though a New England one. It has no peer among American domestic dramas. It stands for what is good and whole some, true and honest, in New Eng land life, and it is bound to have perennial youth because it tells a true story of the human heart in a homely and sympathetic way. Cy Prime and Seth Perkins, the two old "cronies." rivals in love, are im- personated this season as usual, by Horace Rushby and Charles II. Clarke, who evoke uproarious ap- plause and laughter. All the others, Frank Knapp, Fred Clare, Gus Kemerlee and Miss Bryer, are said to be excellent. The singing of the double quartet is promised to be very attractive feature of the performances it has always been. Prices are 25, 35, 50 75c and $1.00. Tel 1080. Seat sale Tuesday.

"RED FEATHER" !"

"The Red Feather" which has been making a hit the past three years. was seen at Polls last evening with Cheridah Simpson filling the part which Grace VanStuddiford es- sayed in the original production. The book is by Charles Klein, lyrics by Emerson Cook and music by Charles DeKoven. When the play was first presented the costumes and scenery were magnificent, but time makes changes. and has effected "The Red Feather" as we'll as everything else. Because of the excellent impression made by Miss vanStuddiford and her company here last season, many were anxious to see the production, conse- quently the house was we'll filled last evening. Miss Simpson, although doing fine work while at the head of the Savage company. has not the life and dash to make an ideal Red Feather. Her songs were not re- ceived with any amount of enthusi- asm and she received very few en- cores. Moreover. the selection which was one of Miss vanStuddiford' strongest. "The Merry Cavalier" was omitted. "The Humorous Ghost" as given by Richard Karl was one of the best numbers of the evening. as was "A Prince of Good Fellows" by Ben G. MacGahen. who has one Of the most powerful voices heard in this city for some time. The comedy as provided by W. ]. Mccarthy. the baron. Richard Karl. as the colonel, and W. H. Powers as Bowler. was pleasing at times. The chorus was fairly good as regards singing. but as for looks. say not a word.

ELKS' CARNIVAL.
Navassar Ladies' Band Had Big Suc-
 cess at HippOdrome.

There is sort of mesmerism about the members of the Waterbury lodge of Elks that attracts to their side al- most everything that they desire to benefit their order. For weeks the entertainment committee has been in search of some good attractions that have never been seen in Waterbury, and just as 1t was looking rather dubious in this respect. To and be- hold. the committee lands one of the greatest attractions of its kind In this country to-day. This attraction is no other than the world famed Ma vassar Ladies' band. When the tip was first given that this organization of talented musicians were about to make their first appearance in New York at the Hippodrome, the enter tainment committee Immediately got busy. Expenses did not figure in the securing of talent. so the committee had been instructed. but when the manager of the Navassar Ladies' hand asked for the sum of $2.500 for the use of the band from November ' to the 18th. the members of that committee were we'll nigh staggered. The band usually gets $1.500 week for their services and as the Elks carnival just spoiled two weeks that was the reason the $2.500 was asked. However. the committee never fall tered, but they went after that price with pruning knives and, aided by several good Elks in New York, they ul. i; A1u,, yA En0 Tho cap- tract was signed immediately and Waterbury will have the honor of being the first city in New England. outside of Boston, to have this fam ous band here.
 They played the Hippodrome in New York on Sunday evening before a big audience and here is what the New York World said about them:
 The Navassar Ladies' band. an organization of fifty young women un- der the leadership of Gussie c. Diel. gave It's first metropolitan Sunday night at the Hippodrome. and greatly please a large audience.
 "The players. who were both young and comedy. were gorgeously uniformed in white skirts and scarlet capes adorned with much gold lace. and set at naught the theory that woman is meek when it comes to the heavier wind instruments. The band was much stronger in It's brass than in It's wood wind and displayed par ticular skill in the heavier selec- tions.
 Tt is certainly the best company of feminine nstrumentalists heard here in more than one season.
 The conductor was fortunate in se- lecting her soloisss. for all were above the ordinary. Miss Lillian sieger and Miss Nettie Reiter. cor netists, won a rousing encore by their rendition of De ville's Tn the Alps" and Miss Dorothy Hoyle did we'll in a violin solo"

To-night's attraction at Polls, "A Midnight Escape" may be described
 as a four act thriller" and is possi- ply the one exception to the rule in
 plays of this class, 1t is plausible in plot, consistent in story and abso- lutely novel in theme and action. It
 unfolds deftly constructed story of the trials and tribulati0ns of poor
 Hebrew boy cast adrift in the great metropolis, the efforts of villainy to
 rob him of vast estate in Russia
 left by a deceased uncle, the murder
 Of his father to secure a signet ring,
 his only mode of proof to his claim Of the estate, the eventual restoration |of the ring and estate to It's rightful

 FROM TRAMP TO MILLIONAIRE"
 From Tramp to Millionaire" which will be the offering at Polls tomorrow afternoon and evening, is a melodrama constructed upon the lines of broad comedy and strong
 heart interest carefully blended so as to form kaledioscopic effect which is both human and natural. The locale of the piece ranges in ex- treme from the pomp and splendor of the rich to the squalort of the poor and attempts to show that money, or
 rather the lack of it, should not be n Q 0rpsin fxn AH. Woods considers the play to be the
 best that he has event sent on tour
