READY FOR SEA.


Three of Uncle Sans Vessels Fitting Out
for Cruises.
The United States SlOop-of-war Marion
came down from the Navy-yard at Mare
Island and anchored in the stream about
80 O'Clock last evening. The Marion has
been under orders for some time to proceed
to China, but it takes time to fit cut war
ship for three years cruise. Owing to the
scarcity of men, she will leave shOrt-iIanded,
but not SO much as TO seriously impede her.
The ship was boarded by a CALL re-
porter last night, but nothing definite could
he learned as to when she will leave From
her officers it was learned that the Mohican
had hauled alongside the coal wharf at
Mare Island yesterday and at once began
taking in coal. 1t is expected that she will
follow the Thetis and C0rwIn to Alaska,
but nothing definite regarding her future
movements is known. The Alert is also
ready for sea, and the officers of the Marion
state that there is no truth in the report
that she would have TO receive another
Overhauling before going to sea. All that is
needed to lit her for a three years cruise is
full crew, and these she could probably
draw from the receiving ship Independence.
The chances are that the vessel will be or
dered south for service on the coast of Cen
tTaI America.

Veterans Annual Gathering at
Shell Mound.

The fourth annual picnic Of the Veteran

day, was in every way one Of the most sat

society has carried out.

and the sprinkle which prevailed on this
side Of the bay possibly deferred some from
attending. A few drops fell in the morn

through the clouds. II was. however, only
a temporary CLEAN, and the sky soon be-
came overcast again.
The weather was, however, the only draw
back 20 complete success, aud it seemed to
have no effect in damping the spirits of the
merry-makers. The grounds were reached

After an overture by the orchestra and an
opening prayer by Rev W. L. Citizens,
President ". 6. Badger of the Bunker Hill
Association made an address. He appealed
70 the patriotic instincts in every weli-regu-
lated breast and called upon the youths to
Ike up the banners of liberty which the oil d
citizens Of Bunker Hill are dropping. His
speech was received with wild huzzlS tina
promise rather than applaud. President
Badger proph esied that at the celebration
two wears hence when the monument on
Bunker Hlu VIII have been erected just fifty
wears. the day would be made a national
holiday.

Greene's drama, Forgiven" and preparing
it in all its details for an exceptionally fine
presentation at that theater on Monday
night next. A notice Of this play at the
time Of its production in New York says
that both Imagination and facility Of express
sion are diSeerniDle in many of the scenes,
the two best OF which are an interview be-
tween Jack Diamond, tie gambler (Mr.
Bryton) and his wife Just before their
separation and the one between the
gambler and his daughter when they meet
by chance ten years aft-T. Both these
scenes are written and constructed in better
shape than is usually cred ted TO Mr.. Greene,
and MI Bryt0n's manner Of acting Is said
to give them all, even more, Of the force de-
signed by the author. Forgiven" is caicu-
lated to catch the fancy Of miscellaneous
audiences, and it is not too much to say
therefore that on Monday evening the peo-
pie assem- bled at the AlcaZar will see play
that suits them. Mr. Bry ton and Nj. Stuck

town where they were born and atterward

NIr. MilIiam j. onergan,s HamIet.

We think the young gentleman who
esSayed the arduOuS part of the Prince Of
Denmark at the Bijou on Tuesday evening
is entitled to credit. if for no other reason
for his ambition. Everything must have a
beginning, and the first effort ought to be
encouraged instead of being crushed by
ridicule or by any other means, Our best
actors have had just as meager COM
mencement. but the same spirit that led
Byron to become a poet, after Brougham
wrote his caustic review Of his earlier poems,
has led many actors TO assert themselves in
the face of harsh criticism OF their inchoate
efforts. We hope the same spirit NAV animate
Mr.. LoneTgaD. To say that he made de-
cided success on his first trial would be TO
exaggerate the situation; but il can safely
be said that he did not entirely fail. Fol-
lowing dramatic history, none OF those who
became subsequently famous sprang by a
first effort, fully panopled for the
stage, as Minerva did for her classic
episode from the brain of jupiter Mr..

Was, of course, full of blemisheS. To the
unprtjudiced auditor. his personation was
premature. 1t lacked purpose, and the neu-
trality Of Hamlet was not grasped. His
sulilUquies were thin and poor, and showed
want of comprehension Of the lines he read.
His most telling points were made in the
cOilOQHial passages, especially in the scenes
with HOratiO and MarcelIuS, at the end of
the first act, and that in the scene with
ROsenerantZ and Guildenstern in the second.
He also displayed merit in the tragic scene
Of The last act His support, from an ANA
teur point Of view, was fair. Mr.. LOnergan
ought not to feel discouraged. lie has more
dramatic brains than an ill-used critical club
can knock out.

Sardou's diplomacy" is drawing well
at the New California despite the fact that
in many respects the presentation CT the
play is not the best we have seen in this
city. We suggest the defect in this instance
lies in the cast We have French Julian
Beauclerc instead Of an English one. Adj
mirable actor as Mr.. Frederic de Belleyile
is, generally speaking. lie is. with a slightly
foreign accent and Continental manner,
out of place here. 1t is a question 10 be
answered by actual trial whether he would
not make a better Russian political
agent than Mr.. Frank Mordaunt, while
the latter might better fit in as
the diplomatic English elder brother. The
impression given by the cast as arranged at
present is that we have two Baron Stems
in it, each moving from different points to-
ward the same object. The acting contrasts
are not so distinct, ON this account, and
clearly marked as they might be. There is
too much of the Continental and too little Of
the lnsular atmosphere peryading the differ
ent situations, and the interest in them,
therefore, instead of being bright, earnest
and interesting. becomes hay and unsatis-
factory. In other words, Diplomacy" as
played at present, is dramatic picture
with the colOrs not properly blended.
