Washington as a successful and enter
tanning lecturer, and it is understood that
she has devoted unusual effort TO perfect
ing her latest lecture on this great Won
derland of the Rockies. She visited the
entire region last summer and was sent
through the park in an army ambulance
as the guest of Col. S. b. NJ. Young, the
military superintendent. This enabled
her to make the tour of this most famous
Government reservation in a leisurely
and satisfactory manner, taking in all
the side trips" which include points of
interest not always viewed by visitors
to the park. Her set OF views Is the most
extensive and complete ever shown In
Washington not excepting Stoddard S,
who showed but 100, while Miss Richards
will exhibit 130. including portraits of
Col Young Mr.. EVerts, of Mt. EVerts
fame and also pictures of the famous
hold up of August, 1897. Miss Richards
is possessed of a clear and audible voice
and an attractive manner in speaking,
so that altogether an entertaining lecture
may be expected.
