Downing In "David IaRouue,~

A large audience witnessed the first pro-
duetion on any stage at the Academy or
Music last night of George s. Johns estzp
tional drama, David LaRoque," as acteti
by Robert Downing and his company who
can act" The play is well devised and
skillfuliy handled by the author. 1t has
moments of real ef7.-A5naI fervor, and his
achievement IN sustaining interest in mere
discussion is marvellous at times. MIR
Downing. in the title role, did some of the
finest acting of his career. Miss Fitz Allen
shared hoaors with him as his wife She
looked beautiful, dressed handsomely and
acted superbly. The balance of the cast
were not up to the standard set by these
two ar lists. Mr.. Johns play ought to prove
valuable piece of property in Mr. Down
inS's repertoire. The author was present
last night and must have felt pleased at
the rapt attention which his play COIN
manded and the burst of applause at the
end of each act.

During the past few days a number OF

from weyler himself, couched in pleasant
terms, and asking Of Evangeliha an express
sion of her wishes with regard TO any
changes that may be possible TO improve
her surroundings. This benevolent atti-
tudc oil the part OF the Spanish govern
ment Is due solely 20 the great work done
by the Journal, and to the wave of SYM

anaua! journey from Osborne TO Bal

under the Mayflower's bows the Queen was
sanding =itb Princess Beatrice, both clad
in mourning, at the stern. gazing inter
estedIy at the American craft None of
the flags on the royal yacht was low cred,
no formal mark of respect was shown,
etiquette not permitting it, even if sym
pathy dictated such a manifestation.
Mir. Goelei was too sick to be present
at any OF the entertainments given On
board by Mrs. Goelet during the regatta
week. On the morning of the famous
luncheon party, attended by the Princess
of Wales, incognito, MIR. Goelet tottered
into the saloou while his own cabin was
being put To rights, and, seeing the elabo-
rate preparations, wearily asked:
what is all this fuss about?-
The answer from the steward was the
first notification he had received of the
contemplated smart" party. BE re
turned To bis cabin and remained there,
seen by and seeing no one.
The church-eoine folk of Cowes are
much exercised, because no clergyman
was called aboard the Mayflower while
her owner lay dying, and think 1T still
stranger that no kind of funeral rite has
been performed
Another circumstance causing remark
is that neither the widow nor the cnii-
dren VIII accompany the body across the
Atlantic Mrs. Goelet and her daughter
will go 10 New York later on an Aneri-
can liEer from Southampton, hut 1t Is
not Known here whether or not they
will be in time to receive the body on
the other side. The Mayflower, with
the remains on boGrd, will occupy fifteen
days Oh the trip.
Rurnor has it that young Goelet in
herits the great bulk of his fathers vast
fortune that Miss Goelet's portion will
he very large; while, beyond the provision
in the marriage settlement, Mrs. Goelet's
share will be relatively small.
