CAMBRIDGE.

Bear Bee, January T. X must wish you a very Happy New Tear, and trust that New Year’s Day was not a sample of what we arc to •xpect in the weather. It was so bitterly cold here we were all glad to put *n our winter clothing and sit round a good fire. Monday was not much better. It was blowing a gale, with cold showers al intervals, which pul an end to all picnics arranged. The Oddfellows held their sports despite the weather. There was a good attendance, close upon JL'.'JO being taken at the gates. On Monday and Tuesday evenings the Cambridge Dramatic Club staged "For England’s Glory,” at which they had record houses. Several new members appeared, and several of the old ones were absent. Mr. Frank Grist, the stage manager, took the part, of Colonel Egerton, kuown as "Surly Jack.” in an able manner. Mr. T, Fawcett Howe bad only a very small part allotted to him this time, of which he made the most. Mr. C. Boyce, as Monsieur Alphonse Grenouillc, and his partner. Mr. Arnold Wilkinson, as John Bull, supplied the funny clement. Miss Hose McVeagh, as Mrs. Cleopatra Bull, in search of her husband, deserves praise for her acting. The scene, painted specially for this piece, reflects great credit on the artist, Mr. T. Fawcett Howe. The manager must have worked hard to get all the members so proficient in their parts. Miss Kerr rendered the incidental music in a very pleasing manner. (In Wednesday evening the company journeyed up to the Sanatorium to play- for the patients, who much appreciated the attention.
