 Wm. I. Knapp, of Yale, his subject being s'Prim and Armadeo and "Reminiscences of the Spanish Revolution The audience in size and character was worthy of the occa- sion. He described the condition of affairs in Spain in 1870, and gave an outline of the way affairs stood between the different par ties He then gave an account of General Prim, the political leader and military com mander, and Prince Amadeo, and gave the speeches of the delegates who went to Italy to inform Amadeo of his appointment as King of Spain, also the reply of the young Prince Prof. Knapp spoke of his recollec- tions of that last day in December on which Gen. Prim was assassinated, the excitement of the populace all day long, and the manner in which the bloody deed was done, closing with the coronation of the young King and his intrepidity and boldness in riding along through the public square before 6O,OO0 peo- pie, an experiment highly hazardous, but re- sulting in grand triumph.
