NAMES DISTINGUISHED SONS.
The Washington Bowdoin College
Alumni Have Banquet.

The annual banquet of the WASH
ington association of Bowdoin alumni
was given last night at the Hotel Shore
ham. The gathering will be remembered
by all who were present as one of the
most enjoyable, as well as remarkable
in the history Of the association. This
may be said to be particularly true of
the latter. for Ii is seldom that so dis
tinguished gathering OF graduates from
any one institution as that OF last night
is held so far from the institution itself
Every member of the association at
the table was native of Maine, which
was another of the strange condolences
of the banquet. Seated at the table were

Academy-"A Milk White Flag

Academy-"A Milk White Flag
"A Milk White Flag huttered con-
tinuously at the Academy OF Music
last night. waited to and fro by con-
tinuous tempest of laughter from an
audience which tested to its utmost
the capacity of the neat little play
house There were many causes for
this merriment = catchy, up-to-date
speciaIties, pretty and shapely women,
clever artists, neat and natty uniforms,
and a wealth of special scenery-all IN

performances ever woven into a three

In the many years of his writing, Mr.
Hoyt has turned out many clever
farces, yet in the minds of a goodly
majority "A Milk White Flag is still
the best. OF last nights presentation,
nothing but what is good can be said.
That central character, the orphan,
Pony Luce, is played by chic Mary
Marble. In the years of life of the
Milk White Flag there has probably
never been such an orphan, and by her
work in the three acts Miss Marble
proves the Yeracity of the local critics,
who ere this have declared her the
neatast soubrette in the profession. In
the baby turn of the second act ana
the male representations and clever
songs of the last, Miss Marble sets
pace entirely too fast for many of the
soubrettes of greater reputation, some
of whom have visited Washington dur
ing the not distant past.
