also the report in full of the mastery

The executive committee have selected
the entertainments for the lecture course
this winter and the prospectus will be
ready for distribution within a short time.
Three of the lecturers, COnWelI, DeMotte
and KEENAN,, were the ones who received
the largest number Of votes last season,
and while the other three entertainments
are new to the people of this vicinity it is
expected that the course will be fully
equal to any we have had. The first
entertainment will be given Friday eve
ming, December 1st, by Marc, the magician,
from Chicago. This Will consist of feats
of magic, in which Marc excels, inter
spersed with music, and as he is recognized
as one of the leading artists on string
instruments, all lovers OF music should
attend. This entertainment is different
from anything we have ever had here but
it is very highly recommended and should
be a good drawing card. On Monday
evening, January Is, George KEENAN, of
New York will speak on ''The Convict
Mines of Siberia" Mr.. KEENAN, was
selected for the course last year but could
not fill the engagement. He has been a
great traveller and handles his subject in
most entertaining manner. The third
entertainment is to be concert by the |
Eadette WOmans' Orchestra of Boston
