to give an impartial yerdct-stocR OF star-and
we shall keep our promise. The, verdict: 20
back to the stock, or get another play. There Is

ancient and honorable military organization

mentioned us the N c. has been called upon "a

cused the critics Of being bribed to attack It
| Mr Polk can bring no such accusation in regard
to his piece. The critics have let it down gently

ns well as his predecessor at the Square has
done since his Two Men Of Sandy Bar went
