ENTERTIINMENTS.
Hyperion Theater.

Anyone who has not lived among the Greeks will not be able to understand their enthusiasm in the Olympic games, and how seriously they take them, un- less they see Lyman H. Howe's great reproduction, not only of the games, but the crowds in and out of the sta dium as well.
 They show all Athens en fete. Much of the gaiety and decorations are also due to the visit of the king and queen of England who are shown entering the remarkable stadium.
 All the splendor which the most ar .dant admirer of athletic sports could desire will again be produced by MT. Howe in New Haven, at the Hyperion, next Friday and Saturday with q Sat- urday matinee.
 The spectators interest is absorbed at once by the vastness and impress lsiveness of the stadium. The seats ris- ing on each side with thousands of gaily dressed spectators might be com pared with the scene at a Yale-Har- yard baseball game multiplied tenfold
