strongly impress the eye. The waltz as

the interest of the theater's auditors in
that it suggests an imitation of some of
the legitimate musical successes.

ON SUNDAY BALL
Hearing Will be Held Next Tuesday
 Afternoon.

The special committee appointed at the meeting of the board of aldermen last Monday night to look into the Sunday baseball question win hold a public hearing Tuesday afternoon The committee is composed of Alder men Mulvey, Collins, Cunningham, ToWnshend and Russell All indica- tions point to a lively meeting at that time. The local ministers will object very much more strenuously to Sun day baseball than they did on the boxing question, said one of them yes terday. In all probability a large del- egation of ministers will be present to oppose the allowing of Sunday ball and to defend the present blue laws oi Connecticut in regard to sports on Sunday.
 The annual meeting of the New Haven Ministerial association will be held Monday at the r M c. A., and that the local association will take some action in regard to this question is certainty.
 But there will be as many fans and representatives of local ball clubs prcs- ent in favor of Sunday ball as aeaiI st it. There will probably be more, il is said
