his third lecture upon the American Revolution Tuesday

The Coming OF the Storm" and dealt principally with
the events Of the years 1774 and 175 ending with the
battle OF Bunker HILL He first spoke OF the blindness OF
the British Government, and OF the teDacity with
which George Ill. and his Ministers clung to the
idea that the Americans would exhaust their
Indignation in protests and memorials, but
would never dare to take up arms against
England Mr. Fiske described the events which led the
Ministry to modify these views. He told how the colo
pIes received the Port Bill and the Regulating Act de-
scribed the formation OF the Provisional Government,
the organization OF the socaed Minute Men, or militia
and the convocaion OF the first Continental Congress-
