A most interesting and entertaining lee
ture was given at the Universalist church
last Tuesday evening by Chester w. Clark
of Boston. Mr.. Clark is a former resident
of this place but left here about thirty
years ago. Two years ago he visited Eu-
rope and his remarks were relative TO his
trip and the sights he saw while away. He
briefly escribed the vessel on which ne
crossed to England, one OF the largest In
its line, the enormous amount OF food car
ried for its 1900 passengers, and described
other interesting features OF the trip. He
spoke at some length on the places he Wis
tied in Italy, and especially of the massive
ruins to be seen there, the beautiful palaces
and other imposing homes OF the royalty.
He described the ruins Of Pompeii, and the
volcano Vesuvius, by which the city was
destroyed. Stereoptican views were shown,
giving the audience an opportunity to-
?
scenes as the speaker described them. Mr..
Clark handled his subject in manner
which held the close attention OF the au-
dience to the end. The views were shown
by Rev. Mr.. May of Boston, whose early
life was spent in Italy, but who now Nv I'm
the Italian Mission i'm Boston, and were so
presented as to give a good idea OF the
illustrations. The lecture and views were
not only entertaining but were instructive,
and gave one very good idea of the many
things to be seen on such a trip. [Ed.l
