very interesting illustrated lecture
was given Friday evening at Institute Hall
| by L. Lucien Phillips, the well known
traveller and lecturer, upon the Island OF
Jamaica. Mr.. Phillips, although avery
| young man, has spent some tine IN
/ Jamaica, where he has en- harked in busl-
ness at Port Antonio, becoming during his
residence there well informed as to the
agricultural business, and social condition
of the island and its people. Il was along
these lines that Mr.. Phillips spoke Friday
evening, giving his hearers very vivid ac-
/ count of this beautiful country and series
of personal anecdotes and experiences,
which were very interesting, illustrating
all OF his descriptions with stereopticon
pictures. Mr.. Phillips has the best set of
pictures on the West Indies to be found in
the United States. Mr.. Phillips is i'm
pressed by the beautiful climate OF
Jamaica, the temperature he affirms never
going below sixty degrees The vegeta-
tion is luxuriant and in describing the
scenery Mr.. Phillips waxed enthusiastic,
for it is really very beautiful he says, but
to be fully appreciated must be seen. The
| island of Jamaica is about one half the
area of the state of Vermont and is 1876
miles from Boston. The slides used by
Mr.. Phillips have been carefully selected
and SO classified as to give one an excellent
idea of the people, their mode of living,
the architecture, scenery and products.
Mr.. Phillips returns to Jamaica in about
three weeks to pursue his studies of that
country.
