"The MayflOwer."

This evening at the Providence Opera
House 1.-THE Mayilower," by the author
of Rosemary, will be presented, tellil
an idyllIc and poetic love story OF {
Puritan times, yet making no pretenti MS
To historical accuracy. 1t is work G. n
genial To the author of Rosemary.
The three acts into which the play Is
divided are laid each In IA different coun-
try. The first is in Old Amsterdam, the
second in England, and the third in New
England. HCre are materials enough fer
those historical and pictorial tableaux in
which the author delights and which he
manages SO artistically. The third and
last act of the play Is by far tho strongest
and contains a surprise in the way Of u
climax that is bound to make IA deep inn
preston. James X. Hackett as Lord
Gervase Carew" and Mary Mannering as
Joan Mallory" are said To be most
happily cast in congcnial roles.

DOVER TO CALAIS.
Peter McNally Preparing to Swim Across
the English Channel.

the English Channel.
Pear S. McNally, the noted Boston
swimmer and life saver. is preparing to
swim across the English channel from
Dover to Calais, distance of 26 statute
miles. This swim has been accomplished
by only two persons, the late Captain
Webb who lost his life In foolhardy at
tempt to swim the Niagara rapids, and
Captain Paul Boyton, who crossed In an
Inflated rubber suit Hundreds Of expert
swimmers have unsuccessfully tried to
make passage across the channel waters
But this fact does not seem TO be at all
discouraging to McNally. He Is confident
that he can accomplish the trip, and those
of his friends who are acquainted with his
abilities as swimmer are equally conh'
dent that he will be successful.
McNally was born In Boston 81 years
ago. He has been an expert swimmer
since early childhood, and when only z
years of age made "a rescue from drown
ing He continued his good work until
today he has record of more than 90 res
cues, for which he has received the highest
honors from the Massachusetts, Humane
society, including the society's gold medal,
anu ldsb year WAS nOhofct py
tho national government, congress award
ing him medal for exceptional acts Of
bravery.
In the channel trip McNally realizes
that he has the hardest task of his life on
his hands. He knows that he has much
to suffer; that he must overcome the most
painful cramps of every variety; that he
will have to withstand heavy, aggravating
lie of
headaches; will be Obliged to suffer cold,
fatigue, monotony of the most depressing
kind, and also great pain TO those most
sensitive organs the eyes 1t Is possible
that he will become temporarily blind and
will have to swim In darkness-even in
the daylight he may remain blind for a
long number of hours-for the effect of the
salt seas striking the eyes continually Is
painful and almost uncomfortable. He has
experienced all these things before and
knows how to combat them.
