...somewhat difficult part. In the farce we have to notice the great dramatic talent of Mr. Isham, who was decidedly the attraction, the play being nothing in itself. The hall was fairly filled, but not by any means crowded, though the number present did not probably give a correct idea of the number of tickets sold...
...earnestly hope that the second crews which entertain the idea of breaking up will recognize the truth of what we have said, and consider what an injury they are doing to their classes.

It was decided that it should be used for nothing but reading, and that smoking in the room should be forbidden. What I wish to suggest is, that since this policy has now been fairly tried, and has not met with success, the other...
