pie, when taking part in a drama,
acted some time ago, it was but
natural that considerable interest
should be manifested as to whether
they would maintain their well
earned reputation. The question
ton was soon determined favorably
and new laurels were gained. K.
M. Donnelly, as David Murray, the
light house keeper, had difficult
role to act, one in which he had to
represent the emotions of the mind,
and the feelings of hatred, revenge,
remorse and repentance were well
represented. VIM. Eccles, as Scud,
negro servant, fully sustained
the reputation he had gained as
"Crimps." His personation of the
jolly, good natured darkey was a
good one and capitally rendered.
The character of Bruce Hunter, as
represented by F. S. Goodrich, was
a capital creation, and an agreeable
surprise to Mr.. Goodrich's many
friends. Mother Carey, fortune
teller, was well represented by Mrs
Maiden. Miss Carrie Chamber.
lain appeared to advantage as the
dashing Bess Starbright. Miss Ads
Sellick represented Minnie Daze
the affected girl, in worthy man
ner, and so did Miss Della Kelly
as Biddy Bean, the Irish girl. Thu
same may be said of Lemuel Dafoe
as Clarence Hunter, j. c. Comfort
!. as Peter Paragraph, the newspape
reporter, and Morris Godfrey, a

The Detroit Free Fress says
A report has been very generally
circulated along the wharves that
the steamer Robert Holland had
been taken over to Winsor to get
her out of the reach of United
States officials. Investigation shows
that such is not the case, but on
the contrary the Star Line Com
pany-former owners of the Hol-
land-have sold her to the North
ern Canadian Transit Company for
s26, 900 cash. and that she is clear
of all liabilities. She took out her
clearance papers-the first of the
seasou-from this port in the reg
ular manner, and is to run between
Owen Sound and Sault Ste. Marie,
a route for which she is eminently
we'll adapted.
