ADJUSTMENTS.

National Theater.-When 1t was an
nounced in the bills that the sixth week of
the Summer Comedians would be devoted
to reproduction of Charles Matthews
comedy. MY Awful Dad" with Frederic
Bond as NJ. A. D., there was a feeling
among a good many people that my Awful
Dad" was a chestnut, and the cause of
Thespis Torridus would not be benefited by
presenting it to the public. That was the
feeling yesterday; last night when the cur
tain went down on the third act that feel
ing had disappeared utterly. and in Its stead
was one to the effect that MY Awful Dad
was an entirely new play. having it's initial
performance, and that the audience had
never seen Il play half SO good. The cast
included the talent of the company, and
the talent won at every turn. Mr.. Bond
was like an old friend Adonis Evergreen,
and MIR. Mackay was at his best as his
over-particular son, while Mrs Findlay as
Mrs. BigSS was compelled to postpone her
opening lines, SO loud and persistent was
the applause that greeted her. Miss Chap
man was a new Widow Wedagain, and she
put into the character a most refreshing
vivacity and all the graces Of widowhood
Miss Sanders was a delightful boy, as
plump as she was pretty. Miss Corinne
Parker and Miss Seaman are new acquaint-
ances in the play, and Mr.. Findlay is an old
one likewise. Mr.. Boag in two characters
Is good in everything he undertakes. In
fact, everybody was in spirit, and my
Awful Dad fairly doomed, and there was
fine audience to enjoy 1t, too.
AS curtain raiser a new play, by Paul
Wilstach, was presented. 1t was called
Bluff" and was presented by Mr.. Mackay,
Mr.. Findlay, Mr.. Boag and Miss Sanders.
The plot is simple one of a young Har-
ward man (Mackay going broke and
taking position Of waiter at a summer
hotel, where his rich uncle (Mr Findlay)
and his sweetheart Miss Sanders), quite
unknown to him, are stopping. Here is
where his BLUR comes in, and he makes
1t TO win. and wins. This little play is a
more interesting and natural one than Mr..
Wilstach's previous effort, Bridget"
Gonzaga Lawn Fete.-The Gonzaga Col
lege lawn fete started in on its second
week last night in most suspicious man
ner. The settled state Of the weather had
much to do with the increased attendance,
grounds was utilized. The stands, booths
and tables did rushing business from the
start-off. the refreshment tables where
liquids were sold being the ones most pa
tronized The dancing pavilion was
crowded during every number of the or
chestra. while the special features Of the
fete, such as shooting the chute" the
merry-go-round and other like diversions
took in many dollar before the close of
the evening. The special entertainment
feature of the evening was cake walk,
participated in by eight couples of dusky
conductor of cake walks. acting as master
Of ceremonies. The victorious couple was
Peter Barnes and Miss Julia Carter, and
the decision pleased the large audience to a
great extent. The cake walk will last to-
night and tomorrow evening, and special
entertainment features will be provided
until the close Of the fete.
