hNNEO OF UN HOWT DUN,
a Spirited Notice From Rochester,

lures Are Like.
One of the best notices which we
have seen, giving an idea of Ernest
Seton Thompson's platform work, is
this From the Rochester, N. y, Demo
cratChronicle, Oct. 80, 1900:
AS the hundreds of people filed out
Of the Baker theatre shortly before 10
o'clock last night, with the bugle notes
0of the bun elk, the hunt call of the gray
wolf hnd the bark of the coyote ringing
IN their ears, and again came within the
sound of the campaign fife ana horn ana
drum. they realized how near to the
heart of nature they had been taken 10y
the simple art of Ernest Seton Thompsou
o'd torest campaigners were I'm that vast

deer IN the fashion other than that i'm
which the charming friend of wild AMI
mails hunts men who had followed the

applause which greeted Scton-IhompSou
as ne unfOlded the charms of the gentle
art Of camera hunting. They had been
nearer to the great heart of nature than
when, with palpitaunE heart, they heard
the baying of the dogs, and waited for
shot at the frightened quarry as ii
made It's last desperate run for its life.
And yet no more exciting scene i'm the

remote ancestors, the audience slowly
and reluctantly dispersed.
Mr. Thompson's appearance at the
Auditorium next Wednesday evening
will AFFORD something entirely new in
platform work in BrattlebOro, and
there will be a crowded house if our
/ people realize what is in store for
them
In several of the larger cities, like
Rochester,, Buffalo, Detroit. Milwau
kee and Minneapolis, the public
schools have been given halliday
recess SO that the children might heal
an afternoon lecture from Mr. Thomp
son, and they have proved his most
appreciative and enthusiastic listen
ers.
Mai. j. b. Pond says that, in all
a his lecture bureau experience, NO
\ such success has ever been known
excepting Henry NJ. Stanley in 1890
Z 81, and Ian Maclaren in 1867.
