A FRIEND OF TENNYSON.
Rev. Mr.. Haweis of England Speak!
of the Poet Laureate.

A very entertaining musical programme
participated in by several of the teachers
and pupils of the institute preceded lee
ture, or, rather, an informal talk, by the
Rev. II. r. HaWeis of England at Irving
Institute, 1896 Valencia street, last night.
The speaker, who by the way is violinist
of far more than ordinary ability. gave
couple of selections on that instrument
under marked difficulties. He had forgot
ten his eyeglasses and had borrowed
pair which were size or two too small,
and his facial distortions while endeavor-
ing to keep them in place were the cause OF
good deal OF subdued merriment.
broken violin string also added TO the rev.
erend gentleman's discontinue, but he
surmounted these obstacles in graceful
way and afforded his auditors an excep-
tionally pleasant evening.
The speaker prefaced his remarks on
Personal Recollections of Tennyson" by
the statement that newspaper men were
responsible for the erroneous idea that he
was an intimate friend of Lord Tennyson.
He acknow edged that he knew the poet
better than he did George Washington, but
his rumored intimacy with the gentleman
consisted in his calling when a boy, at the
poets house and in meeting him subSe-
quently at various times and places.
The speaker did lot confine his remarks
exclusively to TeDnyson, but made him, of
course. the central figure in his discourse.
Many of the most familiar lines from that
poets works were quoted as illustrative of
some particular feature of the speakers
discourse, and certain phases of the
authors genius were brought out in
strong light
DR.. Harvies closed by paying a strong
tribute to the eminent qualities of Tenny-
soD, not only as a poet and master of
satire, but as man.
Dr. Haweis' manner is some what abrupt
at times. but he has the faculty of holding
the attention of his hearers from the time
he commences to speak until he closes. He
was in happy vein last night, and the
officers, teachers and students Of the insti-
tu.e, together with a number of invited
friends, who composed the audience. were
all highly PLEASED.
