LECTURE BY Miss BoRsT. On Monday
afternoon, August Oath, at O'Clock, Miss
Sarah P I. Borst of New York will deliver
her lecture on Queen Louise of Prussia in
the vestry of the Congregational church.
Miss Borst, who is one of Camden's summer
visitors, will give her services for the bene-
fit of the Protestant Episcopal Mission, and
since she does this so generously we be-
speak for her large audience. The lecture
to be given is one of course delivered
short time since in various New York draw
ing rooms, and should be especially interest
ing to many of those who belong to one or
more of the Belfast clubs. The Camden
Herald says Of Miss Bofst
Camden is most favored in having among
its visitors this season Miss 5. +. L. l}orst
of New York city, a very talented and well
known draWing-rOom lecturer, teacher OF
voice and elocution and phllanthroplst.
Belonging to an old knlckerbocker family,
reared IN af1ueuC6 anu 6uucdleu Ill LulO-
peau schools and under the greatest foreign
masters, from rare natural gifts and I'M
usual advantage of education, Miss Borst
was pre-eminently fitted when reverses OF
fortune came to both help the world and
herself. Exceptional opportunities IN her
travel parties, meeting crowned heads and
distinguished Europeans, make her lectures
of unusual interest, and it is hoped the peo-
pie of Camden may have the privilege to
hear this gifted lady while in our midst
Admission to the lecture, 50 cents.

from Brunswick, Ga, to New York, while
the Ames was coal laden from Newport
