Mr. Mowry, who died at his home in the Slxth ward, Wednesday, had been a man of promincnce In the city and county. He j-as a Democrat and took an active part in politics. lio was also imich Interestod in the affiiirsof the Wuhtenaw Mutual Insurance Company, and was one of the Directora, líe lias beeti a Justice and a Supervisor. After the news carne that ladean lind been awarded $20,000 by the jury In Detroit, souie of his friends here immediately rushed around and ordered a big banquet at Hangstcrfer's, to be given last, evening by the citizens who vrere willing to pay n dollar. The banquet was given up, but not until Frank had made considerable preparation; so the friends had to trot around yesterday and raise $50.00 for the sitpper which did not come off. That was worse than havingto pay fora dead horse. The amateur playí given Wednesday evening were well attended and the whole affalr was a suceess. The University orchestrafurnished themusic acceptably. The lirst play, "Woodcock's Little Game'' was niaüe quite funny by the lively play irnd by play of Mr. de Pont and Mr. Caleyrtro, and the vivacity of Miss Hunt as Mrs. Lieutcnant Colonel Carver. The Otilen ably seeonded them. The ballet Intermede was a very graceful measure. In the second farce Mr. de Tont and Mr. Richards were the héroes who kept the house in a merry mood so that at the close the andience went home well pleased. One of the largest theatrical houses of the seasou was assembled to hear Thos. W. Keene in h3 "Richard III," Friday eveuing. Of Shakespeare's plays this one is often felected for the scope itgives fora powerfulimnersonatioii by the star. Great are the requiremeuts and many the possibilitiesin the ïóle of the crafty Gloster. That Keene eomprehended and seized all these, is more than could be said of Booth or Barrett, his superiors, but thathe has a broail conception of the eharacter wasnoticeable all through the evening. He especially pleased in his wooing of Elizabeth; in the night scène in his tent where his drcams tioubled his conseiencc, and also in his combat with Klchmond. This was really the most realistic bit of sword cxerciíe we have had upon our stage in Ann Albor. His "makeup" we believe differs somewhat from the conventional, but the costumes in general were appropriate, and the support not bad. Wlien these firstclass representations of the legitímate drama are given, they ought to be patronized by the best classes, because if these thrive it will be at the expense of the lower orders of the drama, whicli are only harmful and dangerous.
