The Return Of John =. stoddard

will be welcome event to his host OF friends
Id this city. He has won his success in an en-
tertalnment which, in its present form, he
may be said to be the originator, and of which
ne is now the unriyaled exponent The warm
est praise has been accorded to him for the
first lecture of the course, that on Madrid and
Lisbon, which he has just given in Brooklyn
and Philadelphia. The culture, intelligence
and fashion even of those cities were in his
enormous audience. The second evening will
DO devoted to Paris, the third TO Berlin, the
fourth to Munich and Vienna, all of which
cities are the resort of hundreds of our coun-
trymen each year. All of us doubtless would
like to go, but as we cannot we may coperatu-
late ourselves that we can secure almost az
charming an experience by hearing Mr.. Stod-
dard. The closing lecture on Constantnople
will have a delightful flavor of the Orient
about it. 1t is needless to say that all of Mr..
Stoddard's lectures will be superbly illustrated,
they always are, and have for some time
formed the standard for others to follow affair
oil. The course tickets are to be put on sale
Monday morning and prompt attendance on
Mr.. Stockbridge will be the part of wisdom.

A Nut for the BOYS to crack.

Ten boys set out from the Boston & Maine
railroad station in Portland at thirty-five min
utes past eleven in the forenoon to meet and
get on board the passenger train due in Port
land at five minutes of one. They walk just
one-seventh as fast as the train moves. At
the end OF ten minutes, however, one boy gives
II up and walks back. At the end of another
ten minutes another boy also turns back, and
so on at the end of each succeeding ten min
utes, boy turns back. How many boys Anal
ly meet the train (supposing the train to be on
time), and how many Of those who had turned
back does the train pass before it reaches the
station in Portland?

Mr.. Harry w. French gave the first in his
illustrated course of lectures last evening at
City Hall. selecting as his subject, '.The Wild
Coast of New Eugland." Mr.. Freuch. who
was in fire voice, began his story of sThe
Wild New England Coast at Campobello, a
wild and barren isle inhabited by Welshmen.
on the eastern outpost of the states-the place
where Canada has scarcely ended nor the re-
pnblic yet begun. MI. French delivered an
eloquent tribute to New England, tho throb-
bling heart of the union, the dear home of
Americas earliest settler and the resort of Eu-
ropean travellers when first they touch our
shores. At Campobello Cabot landed upon the
New England coast, when on his voyage of
discovery And if the lovely pictures of the
vicinity were then existanf, that were shown
last night, IT is wonder that he did not stay
there. Thence the way led along the shore to
Bar Harbor and Mount Desert to Eagle lake,
whose water is SO clear that objects are plainly
visible at the depth of 80 and 40 feet The
sudden advent of clouds which completely OBJ
scure the mountain was beautifully shown,
and the effective dissolving views were loudly
appiauded. Probably the most charming view
of Bar Harbor is to be had from Green Noun
tain, whence the whole scene is spread out be-
fore the locker on. The speakers illustrations
OF the picturesque surroundings of Mt Desert,
the heavy fogs and its varying density, were
extremely realistic.
To Castne, with its quaint old buildings and
ruined fortresses-to Portland Harbor and
Whitehead. past old Fort Constitution, New
castle and the Wentworth house. the audience
were led to the archipelago of the Isles of
Shoals, by series of admirable views.
Then the route lay near Boar's Hesd, off
Salem and Marblehead to Cape Ann, past a
succession of lordly mansions and cliff-hung
shores. Several beautiful snow pictures gave
changes from summer scenes with great power
of contrast. A number of familiar scenes were
shown illustrative of life among the fishermen,
with an occasional glimpse of summer cot
tages occupied by fashionable people. These
coast views were remarkable for vivid color
ing and clear delineation, and many of them
were enthusiastically appianded Then the
audience were invited to summer rambie
along the'old highway from Concord to Bos-
ton, all the historic places Of Revolutionary iu-
terest being exhibited ON the curtain, and in
GLIDING the residences of the famous New En-
gland poets. Charlestown, Cambridge, the
State House and Boston Common we're shown,
the latter in a snow scene which was exceed
ingly beautiful beneath the light of the moon.
The closing scene displayed the landing place
of the Pilgrim Fathers in its rugged and mas
sve outline, and the recitation of the familiar |
lines suggestive of the event.
The audience were extremely delighted with
the lecture and the course may be said to have |
been most auspciously opened.
Mr.. Stepnenson's mastery management OF |
his difficult lens stereoptcon won the plaudits |
of experts, and the exquisite dissoIyipg effects |
produced were admired by ALL
