BURTON HOLMES, LECTURER.-The
coming to this city of the Burton Holmes
lectures, the first lecture of which, The
lie waiian Islands," takes place this after
neon at ths Columbia, attracts public at
tention in no small degree to Mr. Holmes
himself. Mr.. Burton Holmes is a native of
Cnlcago, in which city he received his early
eoucatloh. His grandfather, Mr.. Stiles
burton, was one of Chicagos wealtniest
citizens before the fire, and it was from
him, he being a great traveller, that Mr..
Holmes inherited his globe trotting predi-
Lotions as well as his literary tastes
While still quite youth his health being
not of the best, it was deemed advisable
1of MIN 10 pursue his further education in
the broad and liberal school Of foreign
travel rather than subject his health to the
strain incidental to the confinement of the
school room. Extended tours to the princi-
pal european cities and to Japan restored
his health and further confirmed his taste
for travel. Even at this early period in lis
life he manifested a marked aptness and
ability as photographer, and 1t is 20 this
that his present career Is imme 1iately
traceable, as, on his return from Japan
with the photographs results of his trip,
he was invited by the Chicago Camera
Cub, OF which he is a member, to relate
the adventures and incidents of his wan
behring's in Japan, his remarks to be illus
trated by photographs of his own taking.
This was seven years ago. So great was
the success of this impramptu lecture that
he was urged to repeat it several times for
charity. During the next summer he again
went abroad, and upon his return, although
the wealth of his family made it unneces-
sary he decided to give lecture for his
own benefit. This met with a most en-
thusiastic reception, it being necessary to
repeat it number of times in Chicago,
while he was invited by number Of chart
ty organizations to give, 1t in surrounding
cities, in all of which he was most warmly
received. In this way Mr.. Holmes finally
decided to adopt the lecture platform rs his
p1 cfession. This is the six tn year of his
professional career, he now being twenty
nine years of age. Not only is he firmly
established in The west. bat It is his second
season in Boston, Brooklyn land New York,
where he gives the annual Esnten matinee
lectures. for SD many years given by Mr..
Stoddard For number of'years Mr.. Stod-
dard has manifested great interest in Mr..
Holmes, often being his fellow traveller.
On his retirement. through his kindness. he
introduced Mr.. Holmes In number of
ca stern cities as his successor, tide which
the younger gentleman seems TO nave
Worthly sustained.
PLJNKET GREENES RECITAL.-Mr.
P1unket Greene Of England was heard last
night at the Universalst Church in a song
recital He was accompanied by Mr.. Vic
tor Harris, and the recital was under the
direction OF Mr. Ed F. Guzman. Mr..
Greene's program was of numbers selected
for the worth of their words rather than
for musical qualities. The singer has
baritone voice of rare expression. and 1t
was with a view of displaying this that
the program was arranged. The songs were
nearly all Irish melodies Of ancient origin,
some eating hack to the seventeenth CEN
tury Several songs in French and Ger
man were also given. The operate quail
ties of Mr. Greene's voice were not shown
He sang with a languid air, and a greater
part of the time leaned against the piano
in the most matter-of-fact sort of way.
His ditties caught the audience, which ap-
last with some show of enthusiasm.
