Columbia Theater.

Alarge audience last evening witnessed an
excellent presentation by the Columbia
Theater Company of r. c. Cartons de-
lightful comedy, Lord and Lady Algy."
The play has been seen in Washington on
several previous occasions, but 1t seemed
to hold as strong an interest for local tho
atergoers last night as 1t did when 1t was
given It's first presentation here a number
of seasons ago. The various members of
the. stock company were most aptly cast and
their efforts were greeted with every mani
festation of approval on the part of the
audience. In an entertaining and amusing
style the piece treats of the sporting ten
denotes among the younger set OF the Eng
lish aristocracy, the affairs OF Lord and
Lady Algernon Chetland, who have sep
arated over some trif1ing personal differ
ences, forming the center of interest. Lord
Algy becomes involved in the domestic
troubles Of friend and his wife, but IN
the acknowledgement of the complications
that have arisen Lady Chetland and her
husband are happily reunited. AS played
by Mr.. Guy Standing, Lord Algy was in
deed good fellow 1t is one of the most
congenial roles that Mr.. Standing has been
seen in during the stock company's engage
ment this spring, and his excellent charac-
terization Of the sporty, but manly, young
er son of the duke, won the favor of the
audience from the start. Miss Dorothy
Hammond made a decidedly attractive
Lady Algy, her charming personality add
ing to the effectiveness of her clever por-
trayal of the modern and ladylike English
sportswoman. Another notable perform
ance was that OF Mr.. w. H. Champion, as
the crusty old duke of Droneborough, the
role Mr.. Champion created in the original
production. George CASTOR did his CUSTOM
airy creditable work in the part of Brabazon
Tudway and Miss Jeffreys Lewis was de-
lightfully amusing in the character part
of Mrs Vokins Samuel Klawans gave an
interesting portrayal of the Hon. Crosby
Jethro, and Eda Bruna won favor as the
romantic Mrs. Tudway. Capable perform
ances were also given by Malcolm Duncan,
Frank Brounlee and Gilbert Miller.

DISTRICT SUPPLIES.
Bids for Million Dollars Worth Re-
ceived by the Commissioners,

AS the end of the current fiscal year APP
proaches the District government is busily
engaged In making preparations for letting
contracts for the 81 ,00o. 600 worth and more
OF supplies of all kinds it will need to carry
on business for the twelve months ending
June 3d. 1907. Some time ago special COM
mittee appointed by the Commissioners
carefully examined and catalogued all OF
the articles which come into most general
use, and the various schedules were thor
oughly revised for the purpose of bringing
everything possible under contract At the
same time a rule was passed making 1t
requirement that all District employees here
after use the articles covered in contracts
rather than similar articles of another
make which would have to be purchased at
higher price In the open market.
~~ After the revision of schedules bids were
asked for and received, and they in turn
were catalogued, but before contracts are

all the corners of the earth-kept the i'm
mense crowd on the alert for two hours at
o. stretch.
Many old friends appeared. including Geo.
Conkling, who formerly handled elephants
in the ring, and Is now the director of the
big travelling zoo; VIM. Ducrow, the eques-
trian director, who succeeded the late John
O'Brien, long known as one of the clever
est horsemen in the business, and the Meers
sisters, at least two Of them, Marie and
Ouika the cleverest bareback equestriennes
In the business. William Melrose as sure
footed a rider as ever, in spite OF the fact
that he no longer belongs to the boys bril-
gade and the clever Japs who have been
with the show long time and lot of
other old friends who are familiar by sight
to Westinghouse, but whose names seldom
get on the billboards, were also on hand.
Allegory Of Peace.
The great spectacular feature this year is
an allegory Of peace" celebrating the con-
clusion of hostiiities between the Russians
and Japs. 1t is the most gorgeously cos
TUNED and expensive production ever shown
in circus tent, and is put on under the
direction of Bolossy Kiralfy, known to
theater-goers the world over as a master of
spectacular and extravaganza. The panto-
mime includes the armies Of Russia and
Japan with great float, on which rides
the Goddess of Liberty, shrouded In the
American flag.
Some of the best bareback work was by
Miss Josie De Mott, who, In society attire
and Ihampered by long skirts, turned somer-
saults on running horse and did all sorts
Of stunts that her costume ought to have
forbidden
The Meers sisters did running leaps from
the ground to the back of their galloping
horses, and the tallyho coaching party ac-
complished almost as remarkable results on
the backs of the trotting horses as the
other riders did at the gallop. Any one who
has ridden trotting horse will realize that
the gait is not conductive to horseback
aerobatics.
For the Little Folks.
There were trained animals for the espec-
lad benefit of the little folks-goats, dogs
ponies and seals-all of which were amusing
and clever. In fact, Capt Winston's seals
did many things in the way of juggling and
balancing that it would have been hard for
a man to equal
There were races of all sorts-ponies and
grown horses, male and female jockeys,
char1ot races, dog races and monkey races
and almost everything in the way of racing
novelties that the big hippodrome track
could accommodate
The high-wire artists, the contortionists
the flying trapeze performers and pole
climbers were all clever The thrilling
event OF the performance was the gap
jumping automobile of Miss Isabelle But
Ter, who dares death twice a day for a
salary IN real money that sounds like bill
board figures. There is always the pleas
ing uncertainty with the audience whether
something may not go wrong and land this
daring young woman in the midst of the
worst sort of an accident. But the per-
formance yesterday went off without a
hitch, and she is ready for more thrilIers
SO long as the laws of chance and proper
ton keep the balance in her favor.
