The lecture by Miss Mary E. Austin at
the Baptist church Monday evening, on
Venice, afforded much pleasure to
good audience. The lecture had three
principal divisions; first, historical, Civ
inc a review of the former glory of
Venice as commercial mistress of the
seas, and the causes of her decline; then
followed a narrative of the visit of Miss
Austin and her party to Venice, with
description of many of its treasures OF
art and architecture; and last, a de-
scription of the visit of the king OF Italy
70 Venice, and the magnificent water
pareant which marked it. Miss Austin
is true lover of Venice, and her vlvid
description serves to make the scenes
which she describes very realistic TO her
hearers. She was given vote OF thanks
at the close.
