Couple of Sacramentsns.
The San Francisco Post of Saturday con-
tanned the following netice of a new play
shortly to be brought out in that city:
professor ]. D. Moynahan and William
HALEY, of Sacramento City, have recently
written play entitled The Ruined Alb
bey,' which may be produced in this city.
1t is an Irish drama of great strength aud
elegant literary finish. The scene is laid
in Drogheja, Ireland, and the plot is one
of the strongest that has yet been woven
bv any OF the latteE-day drsmatists.
The story piyo.s on treasure buried in
the ruined abbey, which is supposed to
have been hidden there by the priests dur
ing the reign of Oliver Cromwell, the reIi-
gious fanatic who menaeed the lives and
property of all those who happened to
possess another faith than his. The where
abouts of this hidden wealth was only
known to the head of one family, who,
when he entered the ghostly ecclesiastical
ruins at midnightto unearth it, was stabbed
to death by the heavy villain of the play.
THE frequent elimaxes of the piece are
intensely dramatic and startling, and the
curtains are strong and vivid. There is a
vein of rich comedy running through The
Ruined Abbey and many droll speeches
are put in the mouth of Quaint. half

and they had their shooting eyes with

200-yard range. The best score made by
Company AS men was that of A. Tyler,
who put his bullet in the four circle at
every shot. This shows good, steady shoot
ing, and is better than an occasional bulls
