THE LECTURE COURSE.

ffOm the 4. M. y. a. itcCoius
For six years the Association has given
the public the benefit of what is con-
sidered one of the best lecture courses
conducted in the state. A comparison
of the announcements from year to year
reveals the fact that the class of enter
tainments offered have grown steadily |
from good to better, and it is a fact too |
well known to require comment, that |
the appreciation and patronage has as
steadily increased.
In announcing the course for the sea-
son of 1894, we do not claim to have
reached the superlative degree except
in comparison with the past But no
one will deny that the concerts and
lecturers engaged for this year are not
THE BEST ever offered on our course.
Contracts have been signed for the fol-
lowing entertainers, who are expected
to appear on the dates given:
November 81, the course will be
opened by the world famous violinist,
Edouard Remenyi, supported by his ex-
cellent company of artists. Remenyi
has been called ''the poet of the VIOLIN"
not wholly the poet of sentiment, but
the poet of fire and force. The violin,
in his hands, becomes a thing of life and
power. Among the members of the
company is Miss Adrienne Remenyi, the
talented daughter of the great violinist,
who makes her American debut this
year. She possesses a soprano voice
wonderful for its depth and sweetness.
December 9Th, DR.. p S. Henson,
pastor of the First Baptist church, Chi
cago, will deliver one of his inimitable
lectures. DR.. Henson has delighted
Owosso audiences on former occasions,
and is considered one of the best ectur-
ers we have ever had. 1t is said of him
| that eff he is not the handsomest he is
at least the wittiest clergyman in Chi
cago." His subject will be announced
| later.
Geo. r. Vending will be rcrnmbered
| by his magnificent lecture "'lhe Man of
| Galilee," delivered in our courso last
year. 1t will be remem red he rew
the largest audience of any rtmaer
| given in the course and the impressions
of his lecture will never be lost lie
will doubtless give this season his lecture
Saul of Tarsus." His date is January
%.
February 90 George T. Downing, d.
d., of Boston, will give his popular
lecture bringing up parent in the
way he should go.' The subject is
startling enough to attract every parent,
and certainly the children will want the
benefit of this lecture. DR.. Bowling
has labored continuously for twenty
years as clergyman, and only resigned
upon advice of his physician. In the
few years he has been in the lecture
field. he has rapidly advanced to a
prominent place among the most popu-
lar lecturers.
March comes the Lotus Glee Club, a
company par excellence. The company
is composed of one of the most popular
male quartets in the country under the
direction of an able conductor, and as
sisted by Miss Minnie Marshall, who
ranks as one of our leading reciters.
The Club has been organized fourteen
years. and as an evidence of their popu-
larity, during the last three years they
have sung in twenty-eight different
states, given over six hundred concerts,
travelled nearly ninety thousand miles
and have the remarkable record of hav-
ing never missed an engagement.
March %, the prince ofimpersonators,
Leland Il. Powers, will appear in the
sixth and last regular number of the
course. Mr.. Powers is the original inn
personator in all the characters which
he has adapted to the platform, and
through which he has obtained national
reputation. He is unquestionably pre-
eminent in his line-uncompared and
Incompatible His performance is
unique, original and enjoyable to the
last degree. We regard it as strong
feature of the seasons attractions.
1t is needless to say the expense of the
above list of talent exceeds that of any
preceding course given. But we feel
confident that our patrons will appreci-
ate and literally support the course, as
they have always done in the past. The
price for season tickets will doubtless
remain at the same low price of one
dollar and fifty cents for the six enter
tainments. The place of holding enter
tainments, and other details will be an
nounced later.
