One result is the popularity of American tours in lieu of the European. Next to an actual visit to the marvels of the new west is an evening with Mr. John P. Clum and his “Glories of America.” His realistic views and descriptive address have justly given to his lectures a high standard of excellence. He has Yosemite and the Yellowstone, Del Monte and Alaska, the will present this lecture once more Wed- nesday evening next at Carroll In8titute Auditorium. “DAVID GARRICK.”—The Carroll In- stitute Dramatic Club will present ‘David Garrick” at the Columbia Theater on the evening of May 11, for the benefit of the Catholic University Athletic Association. Washington audiences frequently in the past have been delighted with the artistic work of the Carroll Institute actors, and no doubt will be pleased to welcome again this favorite company. ‘David Garrick” is a three-act comedy, and has so far prov- ed the great success of the company’s repertoire. It was last presented in Wash- ington two winters ago, and won many warm testimonials of approval. Last Janu- ary the company presented very cleverly “A Night Off’ by permission of Augustin Daly. Mr. Daly tendered the use of an- other of his plays, “7-28,” for the occasion of the Catholic University Athletic Associa- tion benefit as a token of his deep interest in the university, but unfortunately lack of time for preparation has prevented the tak- ing advantage of his generous offer. The friends of the university, and all those who desire the spread of a healthful interest in athletics, will be given an opportunity to evince their appreciation of the work s0 far done and proposed by its athletic as- sociation. The lines upon which the uni- versity athletics are conducted promise much for the future, and testify to the de- serving character of this benefit. Many prominent ladies have interested them- selves in the success of the undertaking, and there is gocd reason to expect the most brilliant gathering that has yet per- haps been assembled in the new Columbia Theater. METROPOLITAN QUARTET.—The Met- ropolitan Quartet will give its annual con- cert at Carroll Institute Hall Friday even- ing next. The Metropolitans will leave soon after the concert for an extended tour, during which the principal cities of Europe will be visited.

OR two thin sheets or one thick loaf of eake Use one scant pint ef flour, three gills of fine granulated sugar, one gill of cold water, three eggs, the juice of one lemon, a quarter of a teaspoonful of salt and twa. teaspoonfuls of Cleveland’s baking powder. Beat the whites of the eggs until stiff, and gradually beat into them the sugar, then the yolks of the eggs, next the lemon Juice and finally the salt. Beat this mixture for ten minutes. Now add the cold water and then the flour, in which the beking powder should first be mixed. Beat for two minutes; after which pour the batter into well-buttered pans and bake in a moderate oven. If in one loaf it will require forty-flve minutes baking, but if in two pans, twenty or twenty-five minutes will be enough. Sus- cess depends upon the sugar being beaten with ‘the eggs for a long time.
