The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1882-03-14

anu Dv parties OF prOspect0rs Tor gold
mines from Montana in the years from 1883
to 1869, no account OF its wonders was pub
lished till the autumn OF 1870 and the spring
OF 1871 (the first In Montana newspapers
and the latter in the Overland Monthly and
Scri6ner's Moathiy.
After stating the preparations needful
Tor a camping tour in the parks the gas
was turned Off, and upon screen twenty
feet square series OF Photographic trans
parencies were projected by powerful
calcium light, and each explained as IL APP
peared. These views were all photographs
from nature, of uncommon clearncss and
beauty. and many OF them elegantly col
ored. They comprised six cataracts, three
cascades. nine views OF various great
gcyser-craters. whose beauty OF ornamen-
tation Is wholly indescribable; views
by daylight and by moonlight OF
eruptions OF great geyscrs, including
"Old Faithful" which every sixty-ivc
minutes spouts column seven feet by
two feet OF crystal, clear, boiling-hot water
TO heights varying from 12J TO l15 feet, the
eruptions lasting from four to six minutes,
and Of the Giant, which at irregular inter-
walls spouts for two or three hours at time
a column five feet in diameter to heights
varying from 80 to 2j0 feet, with vast pill
lars OF steam towering hundreds OF feet
above the water; views OF Sentinel
Rock, Tower Rock, the Lone Maiden,
the volcanic mushroom, the mud vol
cano, and q hunting scene; views OF
Yellowstone and Gallatin lakes; nine
views OF the mammoth terraced hot
springs OF Gardeners river r(whose counter
part only exists at one other place in the
world, and that in far-away New Zealand):
three views OF some OF the ornamental hot
springs OF the upper geyser-basin, and
three views Of the lovely leaf forms in
lime which adorn the interior OF the crater
Of the periodical hot lake, the whole con-
cluding with the cap OF liberty surmounted
by the stars and stripes. The lecture was
listened TO with the closest attention
throughout.
This closes what has been the most pop
ular and successful course Of lectures ever
given in Richmond. When the first-class
talent employed Is considered, and the
large number OF people attending the six
lectures-oyer 5.500-we can arrive at no
other conclusion than that the Young
Mems Christian Association are a powerful
factor for good i'll furnishing to our people
frst-class entertainments.
SNELBAKER's MAJESTIC CONSOLIDATION
LAST NlGHT.-lt has been some time since
more disappointed audience than the one.
assembled at the Richmond Theatre last
night has been seen in this place OF amuse-
mcnt.
The disappointment, however, was OF
the kind 10 he commended: for in the very
large audience il was noticeable that there
was a multitude OF bald heads and Il
scarcity Of cart-wheel hats and ladies. 1t
can be said OF the Snelbaker Combination
that so far from any Objectionable feature
showing itself in the excellent entertain
ment given by il. that, on the contrary, two
thirds OF the companies exhibiting here
present more that could be criticised as Of
fensiye.
The legerdemain performances were new
and pleasing 10 a high degree, and the
character changes. songs, and dances OF
the Vivian Sister, gave the utmost delight,
and displayed good taste in selection all the
way through.
The japanese Little All Right" in his
"slide for life" was the object Of fixed at
tention Us he made the ascent backwards
up a rope stretched at an angle Of forty de-
grees from the stage to the family circle,
aud then shot rapidly back to the stage.
In word. the entertainment is first
class one Of the variety sort, and very de-
serving OF the patronage Of all. The Con-
solidation will repeat their entertainment
tonight, when IN audience OF more varied
character may be expected.
