THEATRICAL NEWS.--During the absence of _Beckett_ from London, and _The Second Mrs. Tanqueray_ having left town, _The Tempter_ in the Haymarket tried to entice _Charley's Aunt_ from the Globe to go in for _A Life of Pleasure_ at Drury Lane, but _The Other Fellow_ from the Court induced her to go for _A Trip to Chicago_ in The Vaudeville, where he cruelly abandoned her, to take up with _La Fille de Madame Angot_, at the Criterion. But she soon let him know what _A Woman's Revenge_ at the Adelphi was like, and he sailed away in the Shaftesbury, _Morocco Bound_, pursued by _Don Quixote_, who had watched the proceedings from the Strand. The lady who in the meantime had obtained the fortunate talisman of _La Mascotte_ from the Gaiety, was provided by DALY'S Company with _Dollars and Sense_, and is now doing uncommonly well. But the villain, who would have made her his victim, will soon experience the result of _Sowing the Wind_ at the Comedy. * * * * * "SUBGRADUATUS INDIGNANS" writes.--"SIR,--Within the last fortnight on one day I find in the _Standard_ that '_seventy degrees were recorded at Cambridge_!' How's this? During Long Vacation!! Who conferred these degrees? What degrees? Who got 'em? Where's the Vice-Chancellor? I pause for a reply. P S.--Beg pardon! Find I have overlooked head of paragraph, '_The falling barometer_,' &c., &c., so that _perhaps_ I may be in error." * * * * * Transcriber's Note Page 149: 'orchesta' corrected to 'orchestra' "orchestra-playing, astronomy, naval and military tactics," 'just as I was going to it report myself!' corrected to 'just as I was going to report it myself!'
