Never has a new Government been "booed" so unanimously or so vehemently on its first appearance. This may not much trouble the actor-manager, who can be relied upon to ship adroitly out of any uncomfortable position, and who, if it is necessary for that purpose, never hesitates to throw away a colleague when a storm is threatened in the gallery.

He was killed in the battle of Messines Ridge on 7th June" 1917 after a short but premising military carcer. In his estimate of Rugby, Mr. Raphael is generous to Scottish foot. ball and Scottish players. He places Scottish players at the tep in their respective positions? A. R.
