Variety Dramatic Club.

This club gave its second complimentary
performance as the Academy Of Music last
night, playing the powerful domestic drama
called the Lancashire Lass" For ANA
teurs it was an unusually good performance.
and some of the Older clubs must guard
their laurels well by earnest efforts to keep
ahead Of the Variety Club. The drama
played is familiar to theatre goers: it has
many fine situations, and il has enough Of
the serio-comic element to relieve the
sombre side OF the story. l. is what players
call q good acting piece. and the amateurs
generally took the advantages it offered.
Mt. A. NJ. Llambias appears always to be q
careful performer, and he carried the part
Of Ned Clayton correctly through to the
close. The hit Of the evening was made by
Mr.. J. Davidson. who acted the f0r,y by
me Name Of johnson. He gained de-
served applause for his "make up" and tor
his identification with the changing moods
the author has set down for the character.
He struck ont boldly in the part, and he
carried il through with better effect than
men nos trained 70 the stage usually act &c.
centric or character parts. One good per
fo,nance can be scored for the Variety Club.

cipal social clubs in this city have organized
a pool selling meeting on political candi-
dates for once q week until tho Presidential

Butler. Jewell. Conkling. Logan. Morton,
Fish. Judge Miller. Hawley and Governor

is first: ten, In which Bristow comes to the
front; five. in which Morton leads off; three,
where Grant has the call: the same number
in which Wilson was FIRST and three IN
which Logan is the leader. The others are
all punched in the field. 1t will be seen by
this that Blaine. Washburne and Bristow
are the favov.tes. and that there are still
some who believe in third term. 1t is
said that Colonel Brooks. the editor of
Granite organ, holds the three Grant pools,
and is also in many OF the others, with
Grant as second or third choice.
On the Democratic prospects the follow.
ing entries are made: Hendricks. Judge

Harbor their annual Summer resort, that
never before has the number been so large
/, so early in the season, and never before
has so much beauty and fashion distin-
guished the company. The cool nights
always found on the Island, render dane
lug the favorite amusement of the evenings
aud the hops at the Rodick are always en-
joyable and brilliant. The landlords of
the hotels are rapidly learning the duties
required of accomplished Bonifaces, and
the complaints forme rly so common have
given place to .merited praise. There can
be no question that Mt. Desert Is destined
to become the great Summer resort of the

variety. the be auty, the grandeur or the

universal sentiment OF all who have enjoy
