and gave most interesting description
of the vicissitudes OF life of the '49-ers in
their eager search for gold. He then
dwelt on the present school OF western
poets and writers, placing Bret Harte
foremost among them all. The lecture
was one of the most concise, scholarly
and eloquent ever given in this city.

is being given under the auspices of the

Prot. Getz who will be followed two
weeks later by Prof. Mahan. Both oil
these gentlemen are well known instruc-
