private room where gentlemen who desire
privacy can enjoy a quiet drink and a game

chased. on which was inscribed the ollow
ing:

manager. and Theater Comique Company.
At the close OF the first part last night,
and before the curtain dropped, Harry
Montague stepped to the front and, in Il
few well chosen words, presented MIR. Mack
with the handsome watch.
Billy was taken completely by surprise,
and hardly knew what to say, but man
aged to stalnmer out his thanks to his
fellow-laborers for their kind remembrance.
At the close Billy said IN have a watch
all over me, but l guess I'll have to pawn
it to buy Il chain; no I won't. I'll guard
it," at the same time taking a hair watch
guard from his vest pocket. ~Billy's speech
was received with thunders OF applause
and the winding up Of part first vas de
clared to be the incest performance ever
witnessed in the Comique. Accompanying
the watch was the following presentation
