nothing but creditable comment

the civil war;" while B. A. Fairbanks
as the tramp" could not be exceIled.
c. S. Leach as a drummer and Il.
H. Noyes as Simon Stone, ga Jack
at all trades" rendered their parts
perfectly. Alberta Cheney as "Bess" "
was correct, and Ellen Fitch as the
domestic" could not better her
part. Lilah Waite, who had the
most pathetic part in the play, that
of MAY Manning" filled the posi-

we'll given and highly pleasing. A
good sum for the skating rink ac-
count was realized. We understand
the play is to be rendered in some of
the neighboring towns during the
next few weeks.
