TeNIGHTs THE NIGHT
 FOR BARREL BURNERS.
One Norwich Gang Has 300 for Annual
 Thankssivina Feature.

In accordance with the custom pe- euliar to Norwich alone, the skies will be illuminated this evening by the glare of scores and scores of burning barrels gathered by the youth of the city at a cost of much effort and no little risk of beating during the past month or two, Many a geed woman has been filled with wrath when she discovered the contents of her ash barrel dumped in the middle of the walk and the barrel itself nowhere in evidence. During the past two weeks there have been two gangs of young sters In the city court, where they were given a lecture as the result of their depredatiens on boxes and bar rels. The boys report that the season has been favorable one and that the supply of barrels is quite up to the usual crop, so that there need be no dearth of illumination this evening. To the boy there seems to be an un- limited amount of pleasure in stealing into someone's backyard after dark, 'swiping" barrel, and beating 1t" off with the spells. The idea that his act may be a little hard on the owner of the barrel never appaers to the boy, y,whe generally considers that the only crime in "swiping barrels lies in getting caught.
 Bonfires will be kept going on all the hills and vacant lots about the city during the day while the gangs are putting up poles and stringing barrels thereon. And tonight the grand illumi- nation. the blazing of the high stacks of barrels. the shooting sparks and the burned fingers, will be sufficient, in the estimation of the boy, to repay him for the work which he has put in col lecting the fuel.
 The Scalpers announce that they have secured 300 barrels which they are to burn on the Sullivan garden on Boswell avenue. Division street, Jail Hill, Franklin street, Laurel Hill, Thamesville and Norwich Town all come in for their share of the festivi- ties

Crowd of Over 500 at Olympic Hall Applaud Chorus and Solo Work-Walter B. Hynds and Thomas M Connor Stars as Premiers-Wedding Glide With Arthur Camp bell, P. J Caples and James Burke Feature.

St. Joseph's sodality attempted and achieved 8 splendid success Wednes- day evening in the amateur minstrels which they put on as the feature of their annual Thanksgiving entertain ment and had the reward of a full house, selling between 600 and IOV tickets, which indicates substantial addition to the funds In their treasury. All the seats in both gallery and on the main floor were taken, the gallery being the reserved seat section.
 The excellent work of the chorus and the soloists was the incentive for enthusiastic applause for every number and of many compliments for the per formers and for Musical Director James F. Drew after the performance was over. An effective Etage setting for the minstrels had been arranged by Jeremiah A. Desmond, the colors being white and green. with balcony effect, providing a place for the seat ing of the chorus of seventeen young men. In front of these in semi circu- lar arrangement were seated the solo- ists, bones, tambos and premiers with Interlocutor Michael J. Coscoran in the center. The music was by the Cadillac orchestra of six pieces, James F. Drew director.
 The bones, JOnn Sldllery ana Arlnur Campbell, and the tambos, William Slattery and John Harrington, were in blackface and were arrayed in blue silk swallowtail suits, while the pre- mier comedians, Walter B. Hynds and Thomas M. Connor, wore suits of pink with long frock coats. The costumes were by a Boston company and by the Porteous 6 Mitchell company and Murphy & McGarry. The following were the members of the chorus: Dan- iel B. Connolly, Jeremiah Desmond Thaddeus Leahy, Thomas Brennan Frank Stanley, John Cunningham Richard Tarrant, John Walsh, James Stanley, Thomas Driscoll, William Murphy, Thomas Donovan, George = :S-----t-- I---z.-t-L Riardsn, Fredaricl

Healy, Henry Congdon, James Me Cermick.
 The programme opened with the first chorus, Speony Moon, in which the chorus sprang into instant favor for it's fine harmony. perfect time and ad mirable ensemble work that brought out every word as if spoken by one voice. In the solos there were en- thusiastic encores for William Stat tery in the Ragtime Goblin Man, Will liam T. Delaney in The Hour That Gave Me You, john Slattery in Take Me to That Suwanee Shore, Carl Lyons in Dixie Moon, and Thomas Slattery in When Dream of Old Erin.
 The song The Wedding Glide by Ar thur Campbell was one of the hits of the evening as it was done with Pat rick J. Caples assisting and costumed as the colored bride and James Burke as the colored parson.
 The entrance of the two premiers, Walter B. Hynds and Thomas M. Con- nor, brought on some good local hits in the jokes to add to those that had preceded, and MT. Hynds starred in his song I'm the Guy. for which he had written several extra verses, clev- erly bringing in local hits along polit- teal lines. MT. Connors rendering of On the Mississippi captivated the house and was the signal for several encores.
 After the minstrels the evening con- cluded with a programme of dancing with the orchestra playing for the ten numbers.
 The general committee of arrange ments was Jeremiah A. Desmond chairman, James F. Drew, William Harrington, D. J. Mullen, John Sulli- van, M. J. Coscoran and J. H. Sheri- dan. The executive staff for the evening comprised James F. Drew musical director; JohneCarney, electri- clan; James McGroTy, electrician; Harold Counihan, stage carpenter; i Thomas J. Kelly, box office; Daniel Mullen, chief usher.

Good Work stoppina Runaway.

What would probably have been a disastrous runaway was prevented Wednesday morning by the quick ac- tion and display of nerve of M. F. Beckwith of Franklin. A horse be- longing to a fruit vender left standing in front of Otto Ferris grocery store in Franklin street became frightened and ran down the street but was caught by Mir Beckwith near the Ger man Lutheran church, being stopped so suddenly that he fell to the ground. There were many teams in the street and the stopping of the runaway doubtless saved much trouble for oth- CTS. MT. Beckwith received many compliments for his clever work The same horse recently ran away in Franklin square and caused much damage.
