Prof, Stoddard delivered a third of
series or lectures last evening at Metzerott
Ult Ia - ~
He was greeted by a large audience, and
the lecture was highly entertaining.
Keen and active in time of peace and
war, and one which can almost now keep
step with the great powers OF the world
were the terms IN which he characterized
the plucky little nation. and this was fol-
lowed by an interesting description of
Yokohama and its people, their habits and
customs.
Prof. stoddard entered into a lengthy
description OF the jinrikisha, and eX-
planned that they were invented by 4
Yankee, now an inmate of Il home for the
aged in Germantown, Pa.
The description given of the natural
beauties OF the Oriental realm WAS com
plcte, and his auditors were made to feel
that next to being u citizen or the United
States, residence in Japan is most to be
desired.
He gave attention in detail to the won
trees; the perfection of the chrysanthe-
NUNS: the marvellous grandeur of the
autu'nnal foliage that makes Its beauties
brightest at the season corresponding to
our Indian summer. The natives call it
little SPRING Dwar.ed oaks and naples
a century old and with every character
.stic OF the forest growth may be found in
flower pots.
Prof. Stoddard dwelt upon the Japanese
religion, described their idols and sacred
structures, and drew vivid picture or the
sacred bridge, upon which the Mikado
alone is permitted to set foot.
The speaker referred to the refiEmeent,
culture and courtesy of the japanese as
worthy of special comment. He never
heard a citizen of the realm complain, and
one who loses his temper is regarded with
ANA cement.
