Between the time that they left the Red

whlskey bottle was emptied.
There were three men in the house. as
claimed by Fish. and there was also a
woman. and IL is asserted that she was
much intoxicated.
Fish told Politt to drive back TO WASH

SPLENDlDLY PRODUCED.
The Fisherman's Luck as Presented
by the Oxford Dramatic Club at
Cooper Opera House Monday Night.

One OF the very best performances
that has been presented at Cooper
Opera House in long time, whether
by amateurs or professionals, was the
presentation of the beautiful comedy
drama, entitled: The Fisherman's
Luck" by the Oxford Dramatic Club
Monday night. 1t was exceedingly
well rendered and highly enjoyable
throughout. There was not an in
ferior character in the whole play
while some of them were unusually
strong. Where all did so we'll we
should not particularize, but it is not
too much to say that the work of the
leading characters, where there was
broader scope and finer opportunity
for the display of the actors art,
would have done credit to profess
SIGNALS. Following was the cast:
Tom Manly, a poor fisherman-MrF Frank
J. Sherin
William Farren, alias Squire Hammond
Mr.. VIM. 4. Devin.
James Hammond, Farren's son-Mr.
Frank Hobgood.
David Morris, known as Uncle Davie-
Mr.. Walter Stradley.
Silas kidder, stage-struck-Mr. William
Fenner.
Rev. George Medhurst-Mr. Sidney Minor
Rose Prescott, Hammond's ward Miss
NeIe Curtin.
Mrs. Manly, Toms mother-Mrs. En-
nett. >. -
Ruth Manly, Toms sister-Miss Carrie
Hobgood
Little Nellie, a waif Of the Ocean-Little
Lizzie Hancock
Each character was we'll sustained,
each player in looks, manner and act
ing being peculiarly adapted to the
role essayed. II one seemed better
than another it was because he had
tho better part, not because of the
finer quality OF his work, or the fuller
measure with which he filled his
part.
Only words of commentator were
passed upon the play and those who
were present went away feeling them
selves debtors to the exceedingly
clever and talented young ladies and
gentlemen of the Oxford Dramatic
Club for the very meritorious and
enjoyable entertainment provided. 1t
was regretted that they did not have
4 full house. They certainly deserved
it and we dare say if it had been
known what rare treat was in store
the audience would have been much
larger.
