| LECTURES AND LECTURERS.
The lecture season in Boston has opened with more
eelot than before. There fewer than four
regular courses Of about dozen lectures each in the
city proper respectively styled the Fraternity the Bay
State the Lyceum, and the South End and innumerablo
local in the circle of outlying cities and towns
which with each other in arranging the most bril-
liant told that all Of the four city courses
already sold tickets enough to more than
nav expenses leaving the transient sale Of evening

mands greater proportion OF the famous people whose

tickets to cover its expenses and all the have
| been costly than ever before.

tickets in addition 10 their influence the sale OF
