THE LINDSAY COURsE-Those who
have not secured seats for this series of
entertainments, to be given during the
winter at Central Hall, should do so while
there is an opportunity to get a choice of
reservations. The merit of the attractions

the reach of all. and large patronage
Will doubtless follow. There is hardly a

DIR. NANSEN'S LECTURE.-Dr. Nanse
delivered his great lecture on his arctic ex-
petition in Baltimore last evening, and the
Music Hall was crowded with a large and
enthusiastic audience. The modesty of the
man. his self-depreciation and desire to
give all credit to others; his large stature
and clear. penetrating voice-all these lend
wonderful fascination to his graphic mar
rative of that marvellous three years jour-
ney in the ice pack and the almost incrcd-
-,
dogs. When Nansen and his brave COM
rades plunged into the ice with the Fran,
probably not one man in a hundred of all
those who had given the subject attention
believed that he would ever be heard from
again. and the dauntless courage of the
leader as well the devotion and conf
deLce in him of his followers have prob
ably never been excelled in the history Of
man. Among other things that elected
spontaneous outbursts of applause and SYM
pathy in Baltimore last evening was the
way in which he spoke of his faithful
dogs, when, to save the lives of johann
sen and himself, they had to be sacri-
feed. one after the other, until all were
gone. The lantern pictures of scenery IN
the arctic zone, with incidents of life
the Fran. during the sledge journey, and
in Franz Joseph Land, many of them beau
tifully colored. were enthusiastically receiv-
ed. An especially noticeable feature of the
lecture was the strong voice and clear
enunciation of the speaker, such that every
person in the room could hear him distinct
ly. The advance sale for the lecture here
in Convention Hall next Thursday evening
opened today, and there has already been
large sale of reserved seats. An elevated
