A Canadian correspondent informs me that the His- torical Association

of Annapolis Royal has appointed a Committee to arrange for the commemoration of the birth of the drama in North America, which happened at Port Royal in 1606. The commemoration is to take the form of the production of Lescarbot's play in honour of Poutrin- court. The Committee proposes to erect a tablet in Fort Ann, once the stronghold of Port Royal, now a Canadian national park. Those who are interested should communi- cate with Mr. L. M. Fortier, Annapolis Royal, goys Scotia.
