June 6--Last Thursday evening the cltl- l zens of this fine old town had q genuine surprise, which was both delightful and in- structlye It came in the form of an Illus trated lecture on foreign travel, which eyinced extenslyeness, discrimination and
 great ability. The collection of pictures
 manifested much skill along with generous
 gifts of time and money and presented many
 natlonalities, famous men and interesting places and institutions. The Illuminating apparatus was powerful and effective aud was handled by an expert from an art com pany ill New York city, so that no bungling or failures marred the fine exhibition. The
 lecturer, Dr. Morgan Ayers of Upper Mont clalr N. J., gave a very bright and scholar ly description of his travels and obserya' tious, which though eloquent and impressive Was quiet and modest ill q very marked ue- gree. Primarily designed only for the Boys, club. which numbers thirty nine live and promising lads under the care and traih. ing of Charles R. Roe and his very helpful wife, it was under their auspices extended to the general public and has, netted the boys quite handsome sum of money to- ward the hall, which they purpose presently to erect The doctor, who Is brother Of MT. Roe, is much interested in these boys and made no charge for travel or services Such citizens as Professor Woodbury Dr. Cornwall, Rev J. P. Hoyt and other com potent judges pronounce the whole aflair and especially the lecture to have been extremely meritorious and wnsome and all join Ill asking for yet further fayQrs from the generous lecturer.
