passed at the organization not to pur- !
chase any maps or apparatus during

Sir Henry Irvliiff'n Hint.
During Sir Henry Irving's recent
performance of "The Merchant of

much annoyance was caused to fre
quenters of the stalls and circles by

gentle hint. Prior to the commence
ment of the first act a curtain was dis
played on which was painted In large
letters the following: "Madam, will
you kindly take off your bat, as I am
sitting immediately behind you and
cannot see the stage?" The hint was
