A Critic and Attorney.

The following is an extract from let
ter in the Dover Delawarean:
81 would like to correct a misrepre-
sentation of the Middle Glass Exercises
which was published in the EvENING
JOURNAL Of Wilmington, In its issue of
June 10. A more untruthful article was
never penned. The writer appeared to
have no ears or attention for any one of
the class except one person. In his arti-
Gle he does gross injustice to young men
of the class, when he criticises their
manner and style of delivery Being
allowed admittance free, Tor doubtless he
would not have gone there he should
have treated his entertainers as a gentle
man, or have retired If II did not suit
him. do not place myself as a Judge
upon such entertainments, but | LIKED
THE EXERCISES VERY WELL, and have
heard many remarks Of commendation
of the entire class from ladies and gen
flemen."
Apropos to the above is this story Of
Chauncey NJ. Depew:
"A friend of mine accepted a free
ticket to an amateur performance The
piece was wretched and the acting was
something awful. The first act was
greeted with Kisses, but my friend sat
silent and undemonstratiye The second
act made the audience fairly howl My
friend, however, maintained his compos-
ure. Finally, an excited auditor leaned
over and asked him. Stranger, do you
like this playg My friend said No.
Then, yelled the other, why in thunder
don't you howl with the rest Of usg
Well, you see, rejoined my friend. i
came in here ON a free pass II would
not be proper to say anything, but II the
third act is as bad as the first and second
I'll 60 out, buy ticket and come back
and Just raise hell.
