Indeed W. H. Harris is one member whose talents as actor and singer would probably win him a proiessional engagement without diffi- culty, but he wisely prefers to continue the creative partnership with his brother rather than attempt the purely imitative work of the average musical-farce comedian. Compared with some of the people in the “Girl Prom Paris,” No. 3 company, at the National last week, an .anprejudiced spectator would prob- ably take him for the professional.” Of the many persons who took part in the performances of the Carroll Institute Dramatic Clab, or who were members, the following is a partial list: George H.

The writer also has fond recollections of his friend C. T. Daly, former captain in the Marion Rifles and associated for many years with the R. P. Andrews Paper Co.

C. Magruder, lawyer of this city, who was associated with him in marking historic sites for quite a while some years ago. It was always a pleasure to work with Mr. Magruder, because he was so interested and thorough, and it was primarily through his efforts that the Belt Boulder was erected at Chevy Chase circle and the Ninian Beall Boulder in St. John's Churchyard, Georgetown, by the Society of Colonial Wars. Mr. Magruder’s letter follows: “Dear Proctor: “It is not often that I read a Sunday edition of a Washington paper, but I did so on the second instant, when I saw your article omn ‘Old Tiber Creek Was District Peature,’ which recalled {4s earlier name—‘Goose Creek—and the caustic line of Tom Moore when he slur- ringly referred to the growth and ‘uppishness’ of the new nation: ‘What was Goose Creek onee is Tiber now.’ “The further I read, the greater my interest grew—it was a Prince Georgian Senator, Thomas George Pratt, who fathered the bill leading to the erection of the old National Hotel—reaching a climax in your mention of the Calverts, for one of my Summer homes— now known as “Woodstock'—was a part of the original patent for ‘His Lordship’s -Kindness,’ with Mt.
