NEW HAVEN.
Nell Burgess Drawing Crowded
 Houses This NreeL

Perhaps some really old play-goer in New Haven may remember when The County Fair was a brand new show and came here for the first time, but to most of the crowded house at the New Haven theater last night the piece was just the same old show they had always known, the principal character was the same kindly, humorous old woman, the principal actor was an old dramatic friend playing the old wo- man for the nobody-knows- how-many hundredth time.
 When the play was new the race scene was 8 wonderful novelty and audiences went wild with delight over the spectacle of two horses actually running side by side Tn race on the stage
 There is no need to speak of "The County Fair" as a play. IL is q fea- ture of American stage life, as Is The Old Homestead" and all the criticism in the world will not dislodge it from its place In the affections of those who like the rural drama. There Is plenty  of honest kindliness, good nature. quaint speech and fine, true feeling in it and 1t has amused and pleased it's hundreds Of thousands In its time. MT. Burgess has had to have his pictures changed In the matter of the color of his hair since first he player the kind ly spinster in the play. the original horse that chewed up the marriage IL. cehse must long since have died of old age, but the play goes on and Neil Burgess still shows the spinster with much humor and full appreciation of the finer side of the character.
 Matinees will be given on Friday and Saturday, and the prices will be 10. 2S and 50 cents Seats can be ordered by mail or phone 605. It will be well 10 order seats in advance.
