 The final performance of the 'fPrirr- cess'' will be given at, Warner hall to- night. Last evening, although the curtain was scheduled to rise at eight o'clock, the fact that only about one third of the house was filled compell- ed the mana agement to delay the cur tain for about a half an hour. AS the play is unusually lengthy. owing to the Inter1ude tableaux. it is earnestly hoped that the spectators this even ing will make every effort to be seat ed as early as possible.

 Library Directors
Pleasant Dinner at Algonquin Club in Recognition of
 His Hospitality

Fellow directors Of the Bridgeport Public Library rendered General Henry A Bishop a complimentary dinner at the Algonquin Club, last evening, in recognition of the Generals hospitality in entertaining them aboard his yacht, Akela, last summer. The dinner was the occasion of much hearty good feI- lowShip, and it was marked by several unusual and pleasing incidents.
 Seated with General Bishop were Judge A. B. Beers. William E. Burn hams William T. Haviland, Charles B. Read, David F. Read, Jacob B. Kleing Charles H. Armstrong and Jerome Or cutt. The private dining room of the Algonquin Club was used. It was at tractively dressed for the occasion.
 Early in the festivities a SfIoraI replica of the Akela was launched up- on the banqueters. At. the instance of MT. Burnham, several men appear ed unexpectedly, bearing six foot floral ship, fashioned along the lines of the Generals familiar craft. Af- ter it had been admired for some time the diners sent the yacht to Mrs. Bishop with appropriate mesSa ges.
 It fell to the lot of Judge Beers to present to General Bishop a token of the good will of the directors. This was in the form of g gold hunting case compass. Judge Beers exercised his customary eloquence in rendering General Bishop the compass. The Gen eral responded in kind.

THE FAMED RIVER LEE.

(Monthly Record, Wethers1eld) I am now far away from the home of my childhood Far from the sweet spots where in boyhoOd I played; From loved. happy friends over noun tains and wildwood, Through which in wild youth I oft carelessly strayed. How often I've plucked the wild flow CTS gaily growing Like swans in the water their num- berS would be shall listen no more to the mirth lightly flowing In the once happy homes on the banks of the Lee. How clearly I see through the dim mists of vision The old school surmounting the b1os- Som-crowned hill, The playground endeared by each fond recollection, At it's base gently flowing a mur- muring Till. How eager we'd watch the declining suns shadow, And join in wild shouts when from school we were free, Or mimic the fox-chase across the green meadows On the flower sprinkled uplands by the banks of the Lee. When we tripped to the dance with loves of our sehooI-days. And clasped their soft hands in each valley and dell, Mid fragrant retreats of hawthorn decked pathways, And breathed a short prayer at the old blessed well. When I think of those days, never more to return, Whens we climbed the far hiIltops in youths ardent glee, With comrades, alas! whom I tender ly mourn. I long for reunion on the banks of the Lee. I shall ne'er meet again in Lord Fer moy's demesne, Those dashing young hurdlers, Sd valiant and bold. Disporting with all their accustomed wild elions, In sun-b -blazoned vestments of gay green and gold. There has gone from among them many a gay fond one. Exiled from his kindred by long leagues of sea, Whose voice was the 1oudest and blows were the strongest. In defense of the homes by the fam ed river Lee. Though far away now over broad waves of ocean, Cruel fate has decreed that friend lessly roam, Not the prairies nor upIands of star ry Columbia. But the den of transgression affords me a home. My path was once bright with the sweetest of pleasures, But now. sad remembrance, my hope cannot be To return once more to the dearest of treasures, Near the city of Cork on the banks
