The Dramatic Club has chosen, as the play to be presented this year, the three-act comedy by Brander Matthews and George H. Jessop, entitled, "A Gold Mine." The play is full of humor and action, and deals with the adventures of an American who goes to England to sell a gold mine, but, instead, finds a wife.

P Donovan, Semmes, Pishon. For the second cast: Lena, Reynolds, Batchelor, Batchelor, Seymour, Jones, and Warren. The judges for the trials were Professors Keyes and Richardson, Doctor Licklider, and Mr. Wells.
