F THE LEVIURE CUURSE, Five Attractions Secured from the Central Lyceum Two Musicals, Three Lectures, The Centre Hall Lecture Course committee met at the home of Rev. B. A. Boyder to entertain propositions by John D. Arnold, of Harrisburg, who is the owner of the Central Lyceum, of Harrisburg, covering this district. A contract was closed with this repre sentative for the following numbers : The Hearon Bisters Concert Com pa- ny is composed of four ladies, and their entertainment is both vocal and instrumental. They will be here some time in November. Byron C. Piatt, lecturer. Mr. Piatt is an exceptionally strong lecturer. He is superior to many of the public men who in politics have gained notority which permits them to com- mand high prices as lecturers. He is an orator, aud is in a class of lecturers pot heretofore heard in Centre Hall, and is booked for the month of December, For the January entertainment, Spillman Riggs has been se“ured. He is a humorous lecturer and character delineator, but of a different type than Mr. Ratto who entertained last year. The Orphean Musical Club, a quar- tette, is the February attraction, Oae of their number is a cartoonist, and an- other an impersonator. They have such a variety of good things, besides the music, that the hall will scarcely be able to accommodate those who will want to hear and see them. Lincoln McConnell, a lecturer, will be able to close the course in March without fear of being a stumbling block for the coming year's success, Usually courses are arranged to close with a musical with the sole view of creating enthusiasm that will aid in preparing the following year’s work. Mr. Arnold insured the committee that Mr. McConnell was a lecturer of a type that would be able to leave a last ing impression. ’ These five attractions were sold last year by the Central Lyceum for the sum of $420. This statement will give the readers an idea of their value in the estimation of other course com- mittees iu larger towns than Centre Hall. It is proposed by the local com- mittee to sell course tickets for the five numbers for one dollar. This can only be done because of the fact that no one is making a profit. An announcement along this line will come later, ————— A —————————— States New Instructors.
