TOWN TOPICS. ILL. BRIDOMAN'S LECTURE. LARGE AUDIENCE GREETS HIM.

The stereopticon lecture given under the auspices of the Mems Literary club of Newtown, at the Town hall on Monday evening last, was largely at tended and one of the most entertain ing lectures of the kind ever given in Newtown. Miss Mabel L. Taylor and Miss Agnes B. Platt presided at the piano and rendered sweet music while the audience was adjusting itself. Rev o. w. Barker, in his happy and effect i've manner, introduced the speaker, who was Herbert L. Bridgman, Secre- tary of the Peary Arctic club, and who was in command of the two relief eX- petitions sent out, the one in 1899 and the second in 1901, in order to ascer- tain the whereabouts of Lieut. Peary in his search for the North Pole, who
 in his presentation of the strange and picturesque scenes of the Far North, together with the interesting narra- tive of Peary's work up to date, held the audience spell bound to the last. The extreme mOdeSty of the lecturer in holding himself in the background
 while giving to Lieut. Peary all the credit of extensive explorations was so marked, that one would be led to
 forget that the lecturer had ever seen an Iceberg himself, or had even taste or the dangers ana eXclCemenCS UndC go along with these Arctic explora-
 tions. No one who was not present will ever know how much of pleasure they lost, or how much valuable infor-
 nation they were deprived. The com
 mittee having in charge the arranging for the lecture, deserve great credit for the success of the undertaking, so- cially, financially and from literary standpoint. But for the slippery con-
 dition of the roads, that came so sud- denly there was no time to prepare for it, there would have been many more. As it was, there were about POO pres
 enJ, and one pleasant feature was the large number of school children who
 were much in evidence, especially from the Newtown High school. While the Literary club does not wish to Over- step the bounds of modesty, yet we venture to assume that the success: from literary and social point of view of Ladies' night last June, and the
 success of the Peary-Bridgman lecture
 of Monday evening, was such as tC guarantee to the people of NewtOwn and vicinity, that when the club again
 announces some entertainment under l way by them, the public may feel they | can ill afford to lose the opportunity of taking it in.
