THE«LATIN “PLAY.
Thé “Latin -play «Tne Flicht * of
Aeneas,” which had been looked for-
ward to so long, was successfully pre-
sented Friday evening, April 20. Satur-
day afternoon, a matinee performance
was given for the benefit of out-of-town
people. The audience was not large.
The drama was arranged from Virgil
by Miss Mabel Hay Barrows of Boston,
who directed all the rehearsals and had
charge of the arrangements. She was
assistéd: by H. B. Noble, the President
of the dramatic club. The presentation
had been postponed from last term on
account of the unexpected closing of
school. :
All the members of the cast acquitted
themselves very creditably. The lead-
ing parts, Aeneas, Queen Dido, Anchises,
Andromache, were carried out in a man-
ner not often seen on the amateur stage.
The athletic games were excellent,
and the dancing was truly remarkable.
The parts of Entellus and Dares were
appropriately held by D. G. Crawford,
the captain of the track team, and R. P.
Kinney, the big football player, respec-
tively, and the encounter between them
was interesting. Throughout the whole
piece, the action, though intense at times,
was sincere and without “staginess.”
The stage, with its plain, dark back-
eround of fir trees, gave an air of classi-
cal simplicity.
The cast was as follows: 7
Aeneas, J. R. Bloomer; Anchises, F.
K. .Hall; Achatesa T. A. . Butkiewicz:

BASEBALL.
Andover opened the baseball season
April 14 by suffering defeat at the hands
of the Tufts second team in a ten-in-
ning game with a score of 9 to 8. The
game with Tufts University team
scheduled for April 17 was cancelled.
April 21, the team defeated Boston Uni-
versity Law School 8 to I, in a very
loosely played game. Stevens was in the
box for the first time and struck out
8 men. On acount of an injury to his
hand, he was replaced by Lannigan in
the eigthth inning. There is a dearth of
pitchers.
Andover was defeated by Dartmouth
6 to 4 in a good game Thursday, April
26. Stevens was in the box, and pitched
strongly. Andover’s team work was
good, and there were few errors; but
her batting was poor.
Joseph L. Burns of Andover has been
elected captain of the 1901 baseball team
in place of John C. Angus, resigned.
