Philip Phillips Enjoyable Lecture,
Last Evening,
AT the Fourth Street NJ. {. Church,.
A Very Large Audience
Present.

An interesting audience greeted Philip
Phillips at the Fourth Street Church last
evening, and not one who attended but was
glad Of it. The crowd occupied ell the
seats and oil that could be placed in the
sisles aud vacant places throughout the
auditorium, while the back part Of the
house was occupied by ISLANDERS. In fact,
there was standing room only. and little
of that.
The entertainment was one OF intense
interest and was highly appreciated. The
lime light pictures, Illustrating Mr. Phillips
tour around the world, were undoubtedly
the finest ever seen in this city and were
TRUE TO NATURE,
all having been made from photographs.
Mr.. Phillips talks are decidedly entertain
ing in themselves, but when coupled with
such life like scenes, they are doubly so.
He gave very accurate description of all
the prominent places he has visited, Of the
people, their customs, etc.
The first scene was The Rock Of Ages,
and il certainly was beautiful sight, q
murmur Of swed admiration escaping from
the audience as it
CAME TO VIEW.
Mr.. Phillips then started his audience at
New York, and showing them all the prin-
cipal scenes in that city, Brooklyn and
vicinity, the cars were boarded and they
went to Albany, taking tour Of the town,
after which Chicago was visited. From
there on through Western cities
10 San Francisco and thence
into Australia, all the scenes being
beautifully realistic and changing as the
speaker went from one subject 10 another,
each one being illustrated in graphic
manner, eliciting bursts Of admiration from
the audience. The excursion was contr-
ued over into the heather lands, the tour
through India being exceedingly interest
ing. including fGe description Of the to
nous visit of
THE PRINCE or WALES
to that country aud the grand reception
| demonstration at Calcutta. All the p0ints
Of interest in the principal cities Of that
country were visited and thu audience was
landed at the beautiful city Of Bombay, the
G -den Gate OF oil India. Mr.. Phillips
here announced that rs they were half
way around the world they would Start
at Bombay to right and 90 on around and
as probably the friends OF those present
would not hike to have them say in Bonn
6sy thei could attend this evening and he
would bring them back TO New York aud
thence TO Washington. D. c. Ire speak
er also said that people had often asked
him what country he liked beat Ct sll be
mad visited, and he alwAys answered that
| be had toured through nineteen different
countries outside Of his own. but be found
none that could compare with the [ nitet
States He then closed VII his tavorlte
song entitled
"HOME PATRIOTISM"
AS he's been said by the prass Of the coun'
try this closing song OF Mr.. Phillips iS aloLt
worth the price OF admission. 1t was beau
tifully and appropriately illustrated, and the
auditors applauded it throughout.
The entertainment is one that can be
witnessed only once in long time and no
one should fail to see it tonight Those
who attended last night will no doubt re-
turn 10 see the close Of it. Mr.. Phillip
songs, which are introduced during his talk
in @ neat manner, are exceedingly enjoya-
Die. The many pretty transformation
views given in the interval Of rest taken by
Mr.. Philips were very amusing and enter.
