An Euthusiastic Audience.

If applause is to be taken as a criterion
in judging a show 1.-THE Last Stroke -
which began a three nights engagement
at the Academy of Music last night is
peerless. There was a big house and 1T
was kept continually at the top notch of
enthusiasm. This was due to the play
and the excellent manner in which it was
produced.
The story is quite cleverly constructed
and several of the parts are exceptionally
well done, Otis Turner and Albert Sack
EFT, as United States consul and a Gu
ban patriot-priest, respectively, being es-
pecially deserving of mention. The two
Spaniards of the cast try to be real bad
and succeed. The scenery is one of the
strong features of the show. The per-
formance Will be repeated tonight and to-
morrow night with daily matinees.
