| THE LECTURE COURSE. Announcements
are issued anticipating the course of lectures
and concerts which is to be given during the
present winter, and every indication is that
there will be even greater satisfaction for
the public and success for the management
than last year. There are to be four lee
| lures and two concerts, all by well known
talent and none of them in any sense in
| feror. Feeling that "the best is none too
good for the people of Belfast, the mana-
| gers seem To nave Dttu SUltleu III Jllt CnOlce
of talent by that sentiment and have accord
| ingy arranged the very best This has been
done in the assurance that Belfast people
will do their share in the support of the I'M
dertakng that has proved so happy and
successful and it is to be hoped that in view
of the general satisfaction with the excel
lent course presented last year, and of the
still better course to be given this, there
will be still larger patronage and support.
The very low price for course tickets, the
variety of entertainment and the range of
subject, all commend themselves to the peo-
pie. The course opens Nov. Oath with a
concert by the Apollo Male Quartette of
Boston, assisted by Miss Belle Temple,
reader This varies from the concerts of
last season, and is recommended in flatter-
ing terms. Following this are lectures by j.
Dewitt Miller, the favorite of last year; Rev.
A. A. Willis, D. D., who is ranked with Mr..
Miller; Col. G. W. Balm, the Kentucky ora
tor; Rev. P. S. Henson of Chicago, who
comes highly recommended; and the clos
ing concert by the Lyceum Stars, combina-
ton of we'll known artists. Tickets for the
