Neither rain nor the Lenten season
prevented The Old Homestead" from
drawing to the Academy yesterday two
big audiences, the attendance at the
matinee being the largest the house
has had at an afternoon performance
for many weeks, while every seat was
occupied in the evening.
Now 81 it's twenty-second season, the
play is still as popular as ever. and
the absence of Denman Thompson from
the cast seems to have had little or
no effect in lessening tho interest of
those who never miss performance
of this New England comedy Mr.. Will

follows so closely the beaten path OF
the actor who made the part famous.
that the majority of those who love
the old play are Just as well satisfied
as they would be with Denman Thomp-
son in the role.
The double quartet this season is
one of the best that has ever been
with tho production. The quartet has
always been featured, and the wisdom
of the management is easily seen In
holding UP TO the top notch this part
OF the performance.

The work of Captain James, on third,
deserves special mention. He scooped
In everything that came his way, and
the visitors soon found that 1t was I'M

The feature of the game was the long
three-base drive of Hackney In the NTH.
He met the sphere fairly on the nose
and sent 1t to centre In a manner to
delight the hearts of the Tarheel root
ers. 1t was good for three bases, but
Hackney was thrown out at the plate
for trying to stretch It into n. homo
run. For the visitors. the pitching of
Mitchell and the playing Of Conroy
We're probably the features. Carolina
was right in the game from the start,
making two runs In her half of the first
and holding this lead until the end Of
the game.
The lineup of the teams was as fol-
