but
t hwhich is not familiar to most play-goers. Here is the
P •
lot •—Lieutenant Leslie, R.N. (Mr. F. Mathews),
has two daughters, Sophy (Mrs. Keeley), and Alice
e relt
not a scene
(Miss Fortescue). The latter is in love with Charles
Bradshaw (Mr. Craven), who proceeds to India to
mend his fortune. Her hand is sought for by Squire
Dillon (Mr. F. Vining), a man of wealth and a
gambler. His suit is rejected by Alice. All the evil
passions of his nature are roused; and having lent
money to the Lieutenant, who is not in a condition to
pay him, he makes use of the power which this cir-
cumstance affords to gain the daughter's hand. He
has the Lieutenant taken to prison, and puts an exe-
cution into the house. The daughter consents to sign
a contract of marriage for the sake of her father, whom
Dillon, on this condition, consents to liberate from
prison. The contract is not to be fulfilled
till the end of a month. In the meantime,
the father of Alice is liberated from prison by
Ben Bradshaw (Mr. Keeley), who pays the debt due
to Dillon. Leslie finds that all his property has been
sold, and that the " Briery," his little cottage, has
been taken from him. He becomes insane. At the
time appointed by Dillon for the fulfilment of the
marriage contract with Alice he does not make his
appearance ; but after the month has passed by he
makes his appearance, his person quite altered, and
announces that he has been ruined at the gaming-
table, and that the police are in pursuit of him for
forgery. Villain to the last, however, he insists on
the hand of Alice, and requires that she should fly
with him. The police, however, are at hand, and
he only escapes in consequence of the arrival
of Charles Bradshaw, who aids his flight, and gives
him money. The family are restored to the "Briery."
They " come home" again. The Lieutenant recovers
his mind, has his newspaper at breakfast as formerly,
and is the centre of a happy group. Dillon, in dis-
guise, enters with wedding rings for sale. He avows
his guilt, and makes the only reparation in his power
for all the misery he has caused, by leaving his con-
tract of marriage with Alice. Such is the plot ; not
possessing much novelty certainly. It is moreover
much too melodramatic in its character and situations
for the style of acting at command to work it out
with effect. It was impossible not to feel that
the lightness of Mrs. Keeley was quite out of
place in the presence of a distracted father.
This is surely not natural; and not less so is the cha-
racter of Dillon, who is possessed of the most despe-
rate love for Alice, and yet fails to come, at the end
of the month, to fulfil his marriage contract. The
piece was not, however, unfavourably received; but
how different was the feeling of the house when the
Trip to Kissingen, in which the parts are admirably
well suited to the actors, provoked the laughter of all.
The acting of Mr. Mathews did him great credit.
Some of the scenery is extremely well executed.

WINDSOR, THURSDAY.—His Royal Highness Prince
Albert, the Reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg, and Duke
Ernest of Wurtemberg, went out hunting this morning
with his Royal Highness's harriers. The meet was at
Mr. Aldridge's farm, near Upton. A fine bare was
started, which afforded some sport with a cold scent,
until his Royal Highness and party returned home to
the Castle for a Privy Council. Later in the afternoon
another hare was found in the Chalvey meadows, which,
after running two rings, went off most gallantly, straight
as an arrow, up to Burnham, where she was run into
after a fine run of thirty-five minutes. His Royal High-
n;ss's rack is now in first-rate condition, the greatest
attention having been paid to their size and breed by
Major-General Wemyss.
