who engaged him for minor roles. Mr..
Stoddart has been associated with old-rnen
parts since he was eighteen years of age.
His father, who acted at the Tleater Royal
in Glasgow for thirty years, had six sons,
all of whom took to the stage. -Four OF Mr..
Stoddarts brothers are dead. His brother
Richard is still acting in England.
From S61 to 1866 Mr. Stoddart acted ut
the Olympic Theater in New York, first
under Laura Keene, and afterward under
the management OF Mrs. John Wood.
While there he made great hit as Money
penny in The Long Strike" character
with which he became so identified that
for long time afterward he was referred
to as Moneypenny Stoddart. From 1867
60 1874 he was a member of Lester Wal

1t is about time for the annual concert
by the Georgetown Glee Banjo and Man
dolin Clubs. In fact, I am advised that
this interesting event is to take place
next Monday night in CASTOR Hall at
the University. The 'eollegians are capital
musicians. In giees they are much su-
Derior TO either T rinceton or Yale, and
are at least the equal Of Yale in banjo
work. | should not like to say as 20 their
work on the mandollns or guitars, for it
left no distinct impresson. and comparison
with Harvard is impossible as the Cam
bridge boys have not been in the habit
ofcoming South. Washingtonr lly doesn't
appreciate the excellence Of the George
town Clubs performance. This university
exhibits the varsity spirit rather mofe
than any other in the District. Its athletes
are always well to- the front in all inter
collegiate contests, and the 500 OF law,
medical and academic courses stand a.
gether nobly. The clubs have always
been courteous in assisting at local con-
certs and their many creditors should
take the opportunity of the coming concert
to remove the obligation
