accomplished. it is thought, through
agreement with the owners of two
small parcels of land necessary for the
purpose. The acquisition of the right
of way along South street was made
necessary, in the Judgment Of the City

recent suit between the city and the
railroad company, in which it was de.

titles of st. Mary's Ohruch are entirely
amicable in their nature, but the
property is held in such a manner that
the safer plan of acquisition is by CON
domination. A practical agreement
as to compensation has been reached.
The improvement, as laid out by Sur
veyor Ohinn, would require about 1888
cubic yards of filling and would be
a great convenience to travellers be.

easterly direction. The acquisition of
a slight portion of the property be-
longing to Messrs. Edwin.A. Seidweitz

difficulty. The place is one of tho
eyesores of the city and it is proposed
TO clear it aud drain it properly.

MERELY MARY ANN.
Miss Robson's Acting at. TIL :
Colonial Theatre Beyond
Criticism.

Nothing could better illustrate the
fact that Annapolis has emerged from
her quondam Stygian darkness, his
ironically speaking, into the brighter
light enjoyed by her larger sister cit
les, than that our citizens had the op-
portunity yesterday of witnessing two
performances of the charming comedy
Merely Mary Ann" by the renowned
Miss Eleanor Robson and her excel
lent company.
To her Item months success in New
York and London Miss Robson
must now add days success in An
napolis, for no prettier play nor better
acting has ever graced the stage of
our local playhouse. 1t was pity
that the annual ball at the Naval Acad-
emy prevented so many from enjoying
the evening performance. Israel
Zanwgill's story of the pretty but de-
spised creature" of a secondrate
London boarding house is very pa
thetic, but strong and wholesome
throughout.
Moreover, the dramatized version of
the story adds a final chapter to the
book wherein the slave now becomes
an heiress and owner of Mead Manor,
meets her old lover, Lancelot, now
become the idol of musical London
and the play comes to happy eonclu-
sion. Miss Robson's acting was be-
yond criticism, suggesting to many
the strong points and characteristics
of Maude Adams. Her support through
out was excellent. Mr.. Frank Mills as
Lancelot. played well the part of the
unsuccessful and later successful COM
poser and always ardent lover, most
admirably. The characters, too, of

Leadbeater we're we'll taken by Mr..
Ernest Mainwaring, Mr.. w. A. Hack
