For the second time the presenta- tfon of Sag Harbor" by the Rald- win Melville Stock Company pleased a fair sized audience which greeted the rise of the curtain. There Is much merit fin the company. and the pre- sentation of last night was given In a much more acceptable manner than on the night previous.
 One usually suspects a stock com pany of being very mediocre, but If a performance of the Baldwin-Melville Company is witnessed, one will find that there are exceptions to all rules. Hugh Gibson, heading tue cast in the role of Capt. Dan Marble, is unusually good. and his work was appreciated by the audience last night. There are many others on the cast, and they all show ability. They. however, need training in many things, but promise Is there to make the undertaking worth while.
