An Auspicious Opening.
Market hall was crowded to the doors
last evening with an appreciative and
enthusiastic assembly who accompanied
III. Fl. Raglan in his summer ramble
through Spain and Morocco and the
last sigh of the Moor found responsive
echo in the breasts of those present as
the curtain fell upon the last
picture. Every point ofinterest in these
countries was brought out with wonder
full distinctness upon the large screen
of 300 square feet, and added to the
scenes were descriptions of them by the
lecturer, his story of Gibraltar OF the
Rock, being especially graphic. A
great many of those present had taken
the precaution to secure course tickets
so that the other lectures of the series
are insured houses equally as large as
that of last evening.
