Grace Hospital.

In connection with Hospital day there has been no systematic canvass taken to secure offerings, as in other charita- ble enterprises of the city. Dependence has been placed simply on the willing ness of church-goers to continue long established custom of giving on Hos pital day in support of the charitable work. The amounts received have nev- CT been adequate to meet the demands made upon the hospital; nor have they kept pace with the increasing amount of work that we are called upon to do It is charitable work that brings sure and quick returns-for bread cast upon the water''-and should your interest follow up your benefactions, dear reader, with visit to the hospital, you can get your own evidence of the good you are helping to do. Each year has seen a steady growth of the work, and the year to come will be no exception. Last year 4S2 weeks care and treatment were given without remuneration.
 Envelopes properly marked will be placed in the churches on Hospital day, next Sunday. Contributions may be sent to the treasurer, Robert A. Brown, at the New Haven Savings bank, or to any one of the committee.
 In behalf of Grace Hospital,

Undoubtedly the most brilliant brass concert ever given by the Second Regi- ment band will be the second in the Dorscht series at the Hyperion next Sunday evening. A programme of un- usual interest has been arranged by Leader Fichtl, and even the musicians themselves pronounce it an exceedingly rare one. Every number was selected with great care.
 The opening number is the popular "Dorscht March No. g." by Wiegand and this is followed by Suppes beauti- full overture, "The Beautiful GaIatea." Close upon the heels of this comes the idyl "Whispering of the Flowers by Blon, and the Highland patrol, "The Wee Maggreegor," by Amers, {
 An impressive number will be the horn solo by that noted player, Arthur Kunze, of New York The selection will be the ''Recitative and Cavatine' by Donizetti, and great interest at taches to its rendition.
 Probably the most exquisite number on the programme will be the piccolo duett by Frederick Guilford and Will liam Hegel Only once before have these two masters of the piccolo been heard together, and at that time they took the house by storm. On Sunday Messrs Guilford and Hegel will play Filtration a new composition never before heard as a piccolo duett in this city,
 Two other interesting selections will be one from the great opera "Fantana'' and a grand fantasie on Scotch. Irish and English airs. M

CONDUCTOR, ON TRIAL TO-DAY.
 The taking of evidence is continued to this morning in the case of the state vs. Van de Mark, former Consolidat- ed Railway conductor. The case occu- pied the attention of the jury before Judge Bennett all day yesterday The former trolleyman was accused of not registering certain fares collected from passengers last June, and he was con- Wlcted on three of eleven counts before Judge Tyner last July and took an ap- peal.
 The conductor is on trial in the com- mon pleas court on these three counts. The testimony against the conductor yesterday was largely furnished by de- tectives in the employment of the Theal's detective agency, who Is, in turn, employed by the Consolidated road.
 The defense had very competent wit nesses yesterday proving his reputation in this city for honesty. With the ex- ception of his reputation witnesses, the defense had no other witnesses.
 It wss shown yesterday in the trial that the evidence of the detectives was quite twisted compared with their evi- dence before Judge Tyner last July, fol it does not correspond. The defenses interests are guarded by Attorneys Ar vine and Fitzgerald.
