ball at the Academy barracks, last Satur-
day night, witnessed an exciting contest.
The disagreeable weather prevented q
large attendance, but those who went
were well repaid. The game was between
the Academy team and Company d." of
the Third regiment, Kansas City. The

is treated In such an absurd manner as to
prove more than funny to the most blase
theater-goer. 1t deals with the rather
startling and realistic experiences of that

uizes and appreciates anything that is
novel and timely. At the New Grand,
