The engineer In Gen. Rosecrans as
serted itself In the following curious
details Of the eftR,t produced by the
ammunition experNied:
"Of 1850 rebels struck by our mis-
siles. 1t Is estimated that 10000 rounds
Of artillery hit 728 men; 100000
rounds Of musketry hit 1882 men;
averaging 27.4 cannon shots to hit one
man; l45 musket shots to hit one man.
Our relative loss was as follows: Right

losses to exceed 10000, over 5000 OF
whom were killed and wounded. Con-
siderably over 5000 Union soldiers were
taken prisoners, over 80 pieces Of artU-
lery captured, together with 5000 stand
OF small-arms. a number Of wagons,
ambulances. mules and harness, with a
large amount Of other property. He
also reports 500 wagons DESTROYED,
mostly loaded with such articles as
arms ammunition. provisions. baggage,
clothing and hospital stores. The only
artillery lost were the three pieces tax

rally and recuperate his shattered ranks
Cut off from his Government, both by
rail and telegraph. and deprived OF sup

severe lesson for the rashness OF penc-

assail him In flank and rear, until we
goad him to another advance. only to

"PLAYING THE GAME. :"

Bright First Night of the Jeffersons
 There were many hearty laughs to be had from Playing the Game" by Cleveland Moffett and Hartley Davis, which Joseph and William Jefferson played at the Hyperion last evening be- fore a large house, which is said to have included the mother of the Jeffer- sons, and several New York critics.
 The play is one of the very few farces which do not tell "how he lie5 to his wife," for, though the characters lie
 into and out of some very amusing complications, yet the usually terrific wife is lacking. Playing the Game" is a comedy of New York of to-day. William Jefferson is an amusing society poodle engaged to the sister of "Stuy- vesant Howe" part well taken by the handsome and well presenced Robert Mckay. "stuyvesant' is in turn en- gagged to another social light, one of the 4,400, and ttirts With WldoW ot artistic temperament, who is beloved of a fire-eating southerner, capitally handled by Joseph Jefferson. His Mis- sissippi code makes several various sorts of trouble for the light-minded N'Yawkers. Joseph Jefferson was as brisk as the frivilo1s Lehrish person. as he was rollickingly funny in the part of Bob Acres"
 The cast throughout is good one and the play we'll set. Judging from the way it took" the Jeffersons will have. a very successful season in it, A number of Yale men, in their tradition al places in the orchestra, gave several curtain calls at the end of the second act. Among them were such athletic lights as Sammy Morse" Owsley, Thom and Merrill Sands.

Polls New Theater.

The new weekly change of bill al Polls opened before crowded house yesterday afternoon. A very extraor- dinary bill of the talent was offered by Manager Poli, including the dainty headliner, Patrice, and company, in a splendid story of the western plains en- titled Gloria" A capable company assisting made this one of the treats of the season.
 The Barnold dog and monkey show was a corker, and should please the la- dies and children here this week. The Six Sophomore Girls were a hit; they are beauties. Harry Pilser, formerly of Lew Fields company, is an able fresh- man in this number.
 Sidnan and Shannon are the astrol- ogers; Harry LeClair is fine charac- ter artist.
 Nessen, Hunter and Nessen and the Buckeye State Four completed a we'll balanced bill. which concluded with the new motion pictures series in the cleo trograph.
 The bill will be repeated this after noon and evening and for the balance of the week, twice daily.

Bitou Theater.

SEASON OPENS AT THE BIJOU. The friends and patrons of the stock company crowded the Bijou theater at
 both performances yesterday to wei come the return of their favorites The Icompany is almost the same as last sea- son, and each member was greeted with liberal applause on his or her entrance.
 The play was Mistress Nell, and it
 was mounted lavishly while the seen
 cry was some of the finest ever seen. The plot of the play is laid in the time of King Charles IL, which admits of fine costuming, which was fully taken Iadvantage of by the company. The leading roles of Nell Gwynn and King
 Charles were taken by Miss Gertrude l lShipman and Lawrence B. McGill, and lit is needless to say that both of these painstaking artists were excellent, and it must have been a source of pleasure to them to be greeted with the many rounds of applause from the audience. | All the old favorites, Everett Butter field, Lucius Fairchild, Harry Langdon, William F. Garfield, Dorothy Lamb,
 Margaret Hagen and Edith Crolius,
 were cast for congenial parts and play
 ed them in most satisfactory man ner
 Of the new people Frank Wallace, jra
 Frank Thomas and Guy Maynard were very acceptable in the roles assigned
 them, and will no doubt become staunch
 favorites shortly.
 Taken as a whole, the production is
 one of the best ever presented by the lcompany and the work of the various
 members showed careful training. It is
 we'll worth seeing. Matinees will be
 given daily, and at the Friday matinee
 souvenirs will be presented to all their
 patrons. The play will run the entire week.

 will be seen in the farce in this city. A dramatic treat has been provided for the patrons of the Hyperion Friday and Saturday nights. The treat is the Nessrs. Shubert's production of Julie Bonbon" withthose co-stars, MT. Louis Mann and Miss Clara Lipman, togeth- CT with the same supporting cast that helped to make this comedy one of the most successful seen in New York in years. Julie Bonbon" is Miss Lip mans Initial effort as a playwright The dialogue is crisp and brilliant and the characters are cleverly drawn. Of course the role enacted by MT. Mann, that of Jean Poujol, stands out more boldly than the others. This charac- ter is a masterpiece and really has much to do with the success of the piece Miss Lipman was fortunate in having so capable all. artist as Louis Mann to interpret the part. This ad- mittedly great character actor is said by New York critics to excel all his former portrayals, in the part of the Parisian. No one cam afford to Miss "Julie Bonbon."

Nerr Hnven Thenter.

The Russell brothers opened a three days and matinee performance at the New Haven theater last night. In their l highly successful comedy drama "The l Great Jewel Mystery" a large audience
 was present and it's thoroughly enjoy
 ed every minute of the two hours and
 half that it takes to run the four acts.
 The story of the play tells of very
 clever robbery of jewels and in the
 early scenes of the drama the situation seems to be such hopeless entangle-
 ment that it would be almost impossi- ble for any detective work to unrayel | the mystery An innocent woman is | the natural suspect and guilty parties enjoy the most perfect security. The ! police are baff1ed, and finally it is up to
 two Irishmen to ferret out of truth. | This they do by assuming female dis guises. This leads to many dangerous situations but ends in the discovery of | the plot and the triumph of justice; to l those who have never seen the Russell
 brothers this is an opportunity that l should not be lost. They have a line of work which is strictly their own, and which so far none have been able to initiate, In female makeup they ab- solutely lose their male identity and create roars of laughter by their per- feet work It is only of late years that
 they have assumed the serious roles of 1 the drama, and their success has been acknowledged and imply rewarded I Besides the clever work of the Rus- l sell brothers last night Flora Bonfanti | in her terpsichorian speciality made a decided hit. John Russell, jr, as Ger man waiter, did good work and Annie Ccnroy Russell, also sustained her rep utation as Ducy Tempest. In the fourth act as "The Irish Servant Girls the Russell brothers fairly captlvated the crowd and were rewarded with generous applause and numerous cur tain calls, This performance will be re- peated tonight, Wednesday matinee and also Wednesday evening and large houses should greet the excellent com- pany on each occasion.

ENTERTAINM EN1rS.
Hyperion Theater.
THE VIRGINIAN.

One of the most enjoyable theatrical events of the season at the Hyperion will be the visit of 'The Virginlan" to- night, with Dustin Farnum continuing in the same part, supported by an ex- ceptionally well-balanced company. In these days of problem plays and moral ly off-colored society dramas this charming stage adaptation of Owen Wisters widely-read book is doubly welcome,
 That "The Virginian" will be sumptu- ously staged, and that the acting com- pany will be most competent, is guar anteed by the Kirke La Shelle compa- my, under whose management the play continues to be presented.

HIGH SCHOOL TEAM.
Good Showing at Football Practice
 Yesterday.

Good Showing at Football Practice
 Yesterday.
 About forty candidates for the New Haven high school football team were in evidence yesterday afternoon at Yale field for the first real practice of the season. The line of last year is almost all back at school The members are Bird, center; Zanel and Rice, guards; Messenger, Davis and Coughlin, tackles, and Blakeslee and Brennan, ends. Phil Connors, Aimes and Beckert are the only backs left; Carroll the star full back, is not in school, and Beede and McCuen have graduated. The loss of several of the players will weaken the team considerably, but the new men appear capable of filling the vacancies in the same championship form as was exhibited by the last years players.
 This year decides to whom the cup offered by the Trinity people to the dlf- ferent teams in the league will go to. New Haven, New Britain and Torring- ton have all won two games and if one of these three teams win the champion ship this year there will be no longer fight for the cup, the winner getting 1t
 New Haven is especially favored this year by an easy schedule On Novem- Der New Haven plays Torrington at New Haven. Whoever wins this game is qualified for the final game. The last game will take place November IT,
 With good foundation of team left from last veal, with good many promising new players and with hun dreds and hundreds of pupils from the largest high school in Connecticut to back the New Haven team it ought surely to win the cup.
