| PROF. EHuRcHlLL's READINGS. Prof j ".
| Churchill of Andover made his second
visit in Belfast last Monday evening. when
he gave reading IN the Opera House in the
| Popular Lecture Course. Remembering
with keen appreciation his reading last win
ter his second coming was looked forward to
with very pleasant antieipations The pro-
gram mlscellane GUS including character
and dialect selections He impersonated
| the priest, the Scotch minister and the old
negro with vivid reality and to the delight
of the audience, but was equally interesting
in the tragic and thrilling 'Duel" bv Victor
Hugo. Remembering how happily the Bel
| fast audience received the selection from
Mrs. Stoves writings last winter he gave
a similar selection This time the BOYS and
| girls Of South Natick, Mass, were listening
| to the story of the deacon and the goat. as
| Sam Lawton remembered and described it,
| Prof. Churchill reads Dickens with a nat
uraness that is seldom met with and conse-
quently thoroughly enjoyed. Several ad-
verse circumstance tended to diminish the
audience, which would naturally have been
one of the largest of the season, but those
who were fortunate in finding out the date
| of the entertanment most thoroughly en-
ioyed the readings. We hope to hear him
again.
