GERTRUDE COGHLAN IN HER
LADYSHIP."

Miss Gertrude Coghlan, who was seen
in this city last year as Becky Sharp in
vanity Fair appeared at the Howard
Opera House Monday night as Lady Cecil
in the "fler LadNship,' which was the
last dramatic effort of her father. the
late Charles Coghlan. The play is new to
this country, being presented in America
last week for the first time. the perform
anCe Monday night being the fourth in
which Miss Coghlan and her company
have appeared. From this it must not be
inferred that there Were any bitches in
last nights productions Everything ran
as smoothly as though the company had
been playing the piece all winter. This
pleasant state of affairs was undoubtedly
due in large measure to the natural
ability of the members of the company
supporting Miss Coghlan. Each one was
strong In his or her part and with SC
finished an actress as Miss Coghl1n in tn,
principal role the performance was
eminently satisfactory.
The play itself is n strong one, being
interesting from start to finish and some
what unique In its construction. 1t Is easy
to understand why Mrs. Langtry made G
hit with 1t in London, The production was
finely mounted and costumcd and was
much enjoyed by the large audience pres

V. N. G. TROPHY CUP.
Shooting For it to be Resumed This
Year-He by Co. NJ.

1t has been decided by the officers Of thu
Vermont National Guard to have the
trophy cup for rifle shooting again put in
competition the coming year. The matter
has been submitted to the company com
mandcrs by Col. Estcy and they have de-
Cided to continue the competitive shoots.
There will be Il change in the method of
competition Formerly the several COM
panies have visited the range on one daT
during muster and the company having
the highest average won the cup. This
year the shooting will be done on the
ranges in the towns whore the companies
are located and the one having the high
est average at the close OF the season will
hold the cup for one year.
Company NJ of Burlington won the Gun
in 1891 and still has it. There were no con
petitions until 1900. when it was discovered
that fraud had been praCtiCed by somu Of
the officers and the contest was declared
off. There was no competition last year.
