heard with such rapt attention as Mrs.
Mary Z Hitchcock, widow of the late
Commander Roswell ID. Hitchcock, u.
5. N. who will lecture on Friday night
at Mcdowell Hall, ST. Johns College.
Mrs. Hitchcock's subject will be "Our
Own American Land of the Midnight
Sun" 1t will be instructive, amusing,
interesting and helpful to all who hear
it. The illustrations will number at least
100 beautiful views. Mrs. Hitchcock is
a most entertaining talker and her bright,
chatty. sympathetic manner commands
the unhagging attention of her audience.
Having lectured here on previous &C.
casion It is not too much to say that all
who attended then are unanimous in
their praise of her intensely interesting
discourse and beautiful illustrations No

M|DD|ES VS.. GEORGETOWN.
The Navy Team Anticipates A Hard Stug-
gle This Afternoon is DAILY
Taking Or In Earnest.

The Georgetown team arrived this
morning and will line up this after
noon with the Midshipmen ON the
Naval Academy gridiron. The mid
dies anticipate hard struggle
On the seasons record Georgetown
has better chance, and comes flush
ed with victory over the University of
North Carolina, at Norfolk, Va, ON
Saturday. Georgetown also defeated
the Baltimore Medical College by a
score of % to 0, while the Midship-
men in the half played against the
same team before the death of one of
the visiting players, did not score, nor
were they scored against.
Early in the season Georgeown also
held Princeton down to five points.
Last year Georgetown won from the
Navy to 0. scoring two safeties. The
Navy team has practically been at a
standstill since Saturday s game, when
it lost to Lafayette by one point.
There is well authorized report in
circulation here that DAILY, the crack
quarter back for two years of the West
Point team, and who previously play
ed on and captained the Harvard var
sity team, will not play against the
Navy this year. In fact, although no
pledge to that effect was given, it was
stated absolutely by West Points rep
resentatives that DAILY had no inten-
ton of playing this year, and he has
not been used in any of the games.
1t is known that DAILY, after having
captained the Harvard team, never has
cared to play football at West Point,
and only yielded to extreme pressure
II is said that he wishes to give up
football still more strongly since his
presence on the Army team has mainly
occasioned the controversy between
the two institutions, and that he posi-
lively will not play this year. Never
theless, the Navy does not intend to
rely upon his absence from the game,
but will prepare itself as well as pos
sible to cope with him.

Georgetown.

represented by the old sick quarters,
which have been unsatisfactory and a
source OF anxiety for some time, and
which make no provision tor the enlisted

A LAUGHING SUCCESS.
Nj. Henry {. Dirsy, Artist And Comedian,
Scores A Hit In Facing The
Music" At Colonial.

1.-The Governors Son" played here
some weeks ago, and thought. TO be the
best laughable, farcical comedy ever
produced ON the local stage, was fore
ed to second place last night by the
fun compound Pacing The Music, y
in which Mr.. Henry +. Dixey, of
Adonis" fame appeared as the leading
character. The piece scored one of
the biggest laugh hits of the season,
and the audience, as critical, phleg-
matte and hard to please as the aver
age Annapolis audience usually is,
broke the record by demanding three
curtain call at the close Of every act.
: The plot is founded ON a mix-up of
the Smiths, two families of the same
name and residing in the same apart
ment house. Mr.. Dixey as young
husband, whose young wife is away
from home on a visit, is suddenly be-
set by a singular succession of mis-
haps. 1t transpires that living in the
same fiat as the young husband, whose
Name is Smith, is a curates whose
name also is Smith. Like the plain
Mr.. Smith, the Reverend Smith is
married, and to young wife. Like
his citizen namesake also, the church
mans wife is away from home. Re-
turning home in her husbands tenn
porary absence, the wife of the curate,
through a very natural and very in
genious situation, takes up her abode
in the home of the plain Mr.. Smith.
The said plain Smith, at the hour
of her arrival, being rather frivolously
elsewhere than at his own fireside.
The comic woes of the four Smiths
aud hocf &c othor t,,asIo,,ta1 .f,ll-.
as consequences of this mix up are ex-
cruciatingly funny. The piece laugh
ed its way through the audience, which
was q fairly large one, and which
numbered the most prominet people in
town and the Naval Academy. Mr..
Dixey is very artistic comedian and
is well known to theatre goers. His
comic portraiture of the leading comic
laughable and mastery delineation of
the character he assumed In all parts
of the play he appealed to the risi-
bilities until laughter and NTH were
contagious and spread throughout the
audience and even those who are
never known to smile were indulging
in hearty laughter.
The fun was due to the clean, spark
ling wit and cleverness with which
Facing The Music" bristled, and
left fragrance and wholesomeness
that will not soon be forgotten. The
entire support was good and each gave
a most creditable Interpretation of his
role, carrying the lines out with mag
netic personality as well as presenting
the comedy in forcible manner. Mr.
Dixey and Mr.. Cooper gave a pretty
little "playet'' or curtain raiser, en-
titled cover a Welsh Rarebit.'' 1t
was cleverly presented and pointed
moral and taught lesson that club
men are not always the worst sort
The stage setting was very attractive
and the making of the Welsh rarebit
excited hunger in the audience. The
Annapolis theatre contingent hopes to
welcome Mr.. Dixey again before the
close of the season.
