act, and he has very little to
say, but he does one of
the most charming bits of character
delineation ever seen in the city. He
alone is we'll worth going to observe.
Mr.. Kennedy, as Colonel Kip, is simply,
in the language of every day, immense.
His work is high comedy in its very best
form, and the only fault to find with it
is that there is not half enough of it.
Mr.. Blackstone was most satisfactory as
the happy little dude, who has lot of
good sense in his head, Sam Delafield.
Miss Armstrong at first was bit dis
appointing, though she acted the differ
ent role of Agnes very carefully, but
when the heavy demands on her came,
at the end of act III, and particularly in
her scene with the bank directors in act
III, she showed herself a thorough
mistress of her art. Miss Odette Tyler
had very little to do beyond some very
light comedy and appearing as a
very fascinating woman, in both of
which she was eminently successful.
The other members of the company
were satisfactory to degree, the stage
settings were good, and in fact the ex-
cellences of the performance so far out
numbered the few faults that the latter
are not worth mentioning. The play
will be repeated tonight.

Some days ago, on the authority of
Treasurer Mansfield and Manager Leh-
man, the HERALD, prompted by kindly
feeling towards the Owl club, stated that
arrangements were being made for the
club to play Caste in some of the neigh
boring towns. The Times next day fatty
contradicted this. In the next issue the
HERALD restated it, and yesterday
morning the Times again denied the as
sertion. If the Times writer represents
the Owls, the statement made in the
HERALD is incorrect; if the HERALD's
informants were authorized the story is
correct. 1t is too small matter to oc-
cupy any more space, and as far as the
HERALD is concerned the discussion will
rest here with the hope, for the sake of
those residents of neighboring towns
who like enjoyable dramatic perform
ances, that the Times writer is mistaken.

Monday night last after the conclusion
of the play at the Loring, says the Riv-
erside Press, and while the stage hands
were busy transferring the company's
scenery from the opera house to the
car at the depot, the stage manager for
The Waits of New York lost his bearings
near the canal, and accidentally stepped
into the tide. Those who saw the mans
while in the ditch say it was
laughable spectacle, for the water was
deep and in the darkness the fellow did
not know which way to turn, and he
had great struggle before finally
making a landing. The boys say he is
good stage manager, but poor water
dog.
John L. Sullivan and company passed
through the city yesterday ell route to
San Diego. A large delegation of
youngsters greeted the champion at the
Arcade depot.
