The attendance was not commensurate
with the merits of the closing lecture of the
Murray club course Tuesday night, when

subject which is not apparent to the ordi-

with Mr.. Kiplng's verses, repeating many
of them from memory. He paid high
tribute to Kipling's poetical genius, rank
ing him as the great national poet or real
poet laureate of the English speaking race.

slipped and fell to the ground, distance
