BEN GREET.
Open Air Performances Under the
Auspices OF Trinity College.

| tfHAfs
Hartford, April 25.--Mr Conricd.
who lately resigned as manager Of the
Metropolitan Opera house, New Yorky
has long letter in the New York
Times urging the necessity for stlni-
ulatlng interest in dramatic performs
ances as an uplifting, civilizing and
educational influence that Ia acknow-
lodged and respected III Europe, side
by side with the church and the school.
When the Ben Greet players We're
here last Christmas time they exeni-
plified the truth of what Mr. Conried
says, and created a desire for per-
formances that are not an insult to
the intelligence of an audience or an
affront to their decenter feelings.
Trinity college, recognizing the true
mission of the stage to be not simply
means of entertainment and amuse-
ment. but an improyer Of morals and
a forerunner of manners, has
cordially consented to have the Ben
Greet players give two performances
here on the 2Sth of May under the
auspices of the college.
Over hundred ladies have also
undertaken to aid in the success or
the plays, and a committee of their
number has been organized to manage
the details, SO that Ben Greet and his
company may have warm reception
when they run to Hartford month
hence. The plays are to be given
out of doors on the Warner grounds
on Forest street, where the beautiful
grove will become part of the For
est of Arden" in the afternoon, and
in the evening will be transformed ill.,
to Wood Near Athens" the play in
the afternoon being ''As You Like IT,
and in the evening Midsummer
Nights Dream"
BY having these performances out
of doors those who prefer the usual
elaborate scenery, and those who OBJ
ject to 1t, can meet on common
grounds, for they will have the seen
cry of nature, which ought to satisfy
the most eXaeting critic The plays
chosen are peculiarly suited to such
natural surroundings, and allow the
whole play as written by Shakespeare
to be given without any Invitations
or adaptations. The audience will be
able, to follow the play without the
distraction Of scene shifting, band mus
ic or other devices to divert the atten-
ton, so that the impression carried
away will be of finished picture and
not number of picturesque scenes
separated by outward gaps.
The Warner grounds are admirably
adapted for these performances. there
being an open space shaded by trees
that can easily accommodate 100
persons, who, from their seats can see
in the far distance Orlando rs he
carries on his back the faithful
adam" or places him against tree
while he rushes on the scene where
the Duke" and his followers are
feasting at the table-under the
greenwood tree.
Seldom has there any entertainment
come to Hartford that promises so
much pleasure, either us an artistic
performance or intellectual enjoyment

New Haven, April rs. At the New

17-year-old lad who was shot by Spe-
cial Officer James Quinn of the New
Haven road, on Thursday afternoon,
was In practically the same condition
yesterday that he had been in con-

brought to the hospital. No change
was noted either for better or worse,
and the probabilities still remain that
death will be the outcome of the
tragedy.
Quinn was in court Yesterday

$1,000 which had been set in the
case. In default of bonds he was tax

WAR ON ROLLER SKATING.
Livingston Street Property Owner
SprinkIes Sand.

New Haven, April 25.-It takes
sand to roller skate out IN the Or
ange street district these days and
it takes sand as well to stop skating,
and thereby hangs tale which bids
fair to involve a police chief, po-
lice captain, a number of ratrolmen,
a hundred or more property owners,
and innumerable children OF both
sexes. The little tragedy III capsule
form has looped-the-loop as 1t were.
That is, one irate property owner has
attempted to prevent the children
from skating in front of her home
and has enrolled the aid OF the po-
lice on her side in her endeavors.
The children, ON the other iand, are
said to have gone her one better.
They have obtained the aid OF ex-
Alderman Charles #. Corner OF 2S4
Willow street, who has drawn up
petition suitably worded, which will
respectfully ask the board of alder
men for permission to skate Wher-
ever they please In the district. The
petition has been signed by about
100 or more property owners al
ready and will, be presented to the
board of aldermen at their meeting
next Monday night in city hall by
Alderman Emil Loos, who represents
the Orange street district Of the city.
The question of roller skating is NOT
a new one in this section OF the city.
The craze seems to have returned this
spring with renewed popularity and
every child that can gather together Il
few pennies has HE'D it to the near
est shop and bought a pair of, the
modern substitutes for Mercury's
plants that have poured in upon Chief
plants tht have poured in upon Chief
Cowles from automobile drivers and
others who have made use of Orange
street. The chief has been shown the
great danger there is in hooking" as
it is called by the children, on the
back of wagons. The noise Of the
horses hoofs Oh the resounding pave
men ahead and the racket of the
skate wheels whirling around drown
out every other sound. The children,
who are too apt to disregard ap-
autos. cannot hear them
coming if they will above this din. If
they happen to leave go of the wagon
and swing out into the street sudden
" in front of fast approaching auto
he danger is only too apparent to all.
these complaints the chief |
issued general warning to parents
not to allow their children to skate

ASTOR is BLAMED.
Former Americans Action Regard
ing Chesapeake Flag Condemned.

London, April 25.--A special cable
gram TO the New York World says
that William Waldorf Astors presen-
tation to the Royal United Service
Museum of the American frigate
Chesapeake's flag, which H. NJ. s.
Shannon captured in the war of 1872.
is regarded even by Englshmen as an
exhibition of execrable taste. Every
where one hears the opinion expressed
that it is deliberately malicious af-
front to Mr. Astor's former country
men.
Mr. Aston took no interest In the
Chesapeake's flag, itsappears now, un-
ill he heard there was plan afoor to
buy II for America. Then he ordered
X. W. Partridge. a dealer In antiques
and relics, to buy the flag for him
whatever it might cost The opinion
Is freely expressed. too. that such a
petty exhibition Of disloyalty to the
land of his birth and the source of
his tremendous wealth will not gain
Mr. Astor more respect. He refuses
to justify il or indeed to say anything
on the subject.
His son, Waldorf Astor, has leased
for the season No 10 Brook street,
Grosyenor Square. where his wife,
who was one of the beautiful Lang
horne sisters, will entertain on her
own account instead OF residing with
her father-in-law at Carlton House
Terrace, as in past years. The Brook
street house has large drawing room
which can can he used as a ballroom,
though not for large dances.
II was understood that Mrs Waldorf
Astor's sister, Miss Nora Langhornc.
was coming over for the season, but
that is DOUBTFUL now. But Mrs Asto-
expects TO have another sister, Mrs
Charles Dana Gibson, with her for a
good part OF the season.

Lieutenant Ayres was graduated
from the academy less than a year

Lieutenant Colonel Charles G.
Ayres OF the fourteenth cavalry. the

Mr.. Joynson-Hicks an unusually long

omitted to follow this custom.
There were scenes of intense excite
