DR.. Mays lecture on ascent OF the
Matterhorn' is one of the most enter
tanning and instructive addresses that I |
have ever listened to. Not only is the
subject matter intensely interesting, but
the manner in which it is presented and
the hvid eloquence with which the most
striking passages are clothed, enroptures
the hearer and sustains the deepest in
terest to the end. Those who have the
opportunity should not fail to hear DR..
May. e. Richards, Governor of Mon
tana, Helena, Mont.
He inspires his audience with the fire
that burned in him. the inspiration Of his
travels. A better word-painting of the
Yosemite Valley would be difficult 10
find. DR.. May held his audience for two
hours and quarter and pleased them
greatly.-George W. Stewart, secretary
