GLOBE THEATRE. Miss Cavendish, who has been appearing here during the last week as "Mercy Merrick," is an actress of great beauty, and fine stage presence. Her enunciation is beautifully clear and distinct, so much so that in quiet passages it is a real pleasure to listen to her. We cannot see, however, that she is a great actress in any sense of the word; in passages requiring force and strength, she is very far from perfection. The support averages fairly good. Next week Miss Cavendish plays Beatrice in "Much Ado about Nothing...
...variety of dexterous tricks, which, however, belonged properly to the province of juggling and sleight-of-hand, rather than to that of club swinging. It may be suggested to the Executive Committee that in the future it would be well to distinguish between these two exercises, which are as distinct from each other as a standing jump is from a running jump.

There are two distinct associations, the Rifle Corps and the Rifle Club. One of these has on its shingle H. R. C., and the aim of this association is, I believe, military drill and discipline such as will fit its members, at some future date, to occupy enviable positions in the Cadet Corps and other "crack" militia organizations of similar character. The other has on its shingle H. U. R. C., - in full, Harvard University Rifle Club, - and although such discipline is observed in it as to insure the safety of its members and the public at large, still...
