AN INTERESTING LECTURE.

The regular meeting OF the A. A. was
given up last Monday evening to stere
opticon lecture on bi' ds by Mrs Mabel
Osgood Wright. Ia spite OF the condi-
ton of the roads, 60 I'd audience assem-
blpd and took keen interest in the lee
ture. DR. Frank Wales, the president Of
the society, read the lecture and pointed
out various features in the pictures.
Lester Banks operated the lantern.
Messrs Wales and Banks are to be con-
graduated for the successful way In
which they presented an excellent lee
ture. The pictures of the birds, project
ed on the screen, were beautifully color
ed and therefore, life.like. The lecture
brightly and intere' tipgly described each
kind of bird. Although the lecturer
avowed as the object of the lecture only
an introduction TO our common birds,
vet a vast amount of information was
conveyed. The birds are the friends of
the farmer in point of usefulness and as
the flowers add beauty and pleasure to
life. 1t is cruel and wrong TO slaughter
these our feathered friends for orna-
mentiug hats. To show thi' great wrong
and to prot' ct our pretty songsters is
the object of the Audubon society Of
Connecticut.
