THE SHEFFIELD LECTURE LAST
 NIGHT. f


 Professor Osborn's Sheffield lecture on Modern Method and Results of Explo- rations for Dinosaurs," last evening was attended by the usual large au- dience in the University Extension course this season. The professor was vouched for by President Hadley as one who was tapable and able to instruct, and those who heard the lecture were sure he spoke. the truth. The explora- tions described by Professor Osborn were mostly in the Fort Laramie dis trict, so called. and about the Bone Cabin in that district, and covered the period of time since 1891 to date. The illustrations were very, fine, giving in great detail every available point of view, and items of inforamtion.
 Convincing proofs were given of the prehistoric life of the world and of the monstrous animals then eXistant. MT. Osborn said that these discoveries were the richest-of all so far made, and great credit and honor was due for the re- suits to the late Professor Marsh of Yale to whom he paid glowing tribute in conclusion. He described him as one of whom every Yale man should be proud-whose life was life devoted to one great central idea-in the study and furtherance of which he had won fame for himself and conferred fame on this city and it's great university.
 The lecturer was closely followed and thoroughly enjoyed by the audience, and heartily applauded as he closed his lecture.
 The next entertainment in the course will be dramatic reading, Hamlet" by George Riddle, next Wednesday eve ming, March 4.
