MISS SOPHIE WRIGHT.

Miss Sophie Wrights lecture, sBen Hur, at the
Rutland Theatre, Thursday evening, was very much
enjoyed by large and select audience. The lecture
under the auspices of the Kings Daughters. Miss
Wright was taken from the train to Mrs. VIM. b.
defenders residence in carriage being escorted by
Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Preston Burns, of the
members of the reception committee. After re-
freshments and rest from the fatigue of the jour
ney, Miss Wright was introduced at the Rutland by
Mrs DR.. Warren, who was very happy in her re-
marks and entitled to share in the applause that
greeted her announcement that cit evident from
the applause that Miss Wright was too we'll known
to need introduction to a Covngton audience
AS Miss Wright laid aside her crutches and stood
beside her chair she greeted with storm of ap-
pause that echo Of the love that her life of
sacrifice for the uplft of her fellow creatures has
created for her wherever she is known. Lifting to
her face the bouquet of beautiful white flowers that
had been handed up from the audience, Miss Wright
said the daisies reminded her of the Kings Daugh-
tiers of Covngton-the yellow corona, the heart of
gold; the white petals the characteristic purity of
their life's work. She spoke affectionately of her
boys, and her voice was tremulous with emotion and
pride she referred to the fact that up the time
of the closing of her school she had assisted g. 600
boys in securing foothod in education.
Miss Wright's lecture was made doubly interesting
by evident sympathy for Ben Hur in his trials and
her emotional portraiture of the faith of the three
wise guided by the light of the star to the birth
place of Christ in the Manager at Bethlehem. The
illustrations excellent and instructive, anG the
evening was very much enjoyed by all.
