Another of the popular free lec
tures was on the Subject Peking„last
Saturday evening. The speaker, Dr.
Toyokichi Iyenaga, a native Jap
anese, delivered his lecture in re- '
markably clear and good English,
holding his hearers' close attention
at all times. The slides used were
of the same pleasing ' nature that
have characterized the beautiful
series by Col. McCain, bringing out
the beauties of nature iil that far off
eastern city to an extent not realized
by many Occidentals. ..
Taking the city by its i political
sections, the Forbidden City,' the
Imperial City, the Tartar City and
the Chinese City, ?eking was Shown
to, be a most beautiful and attractive
s
i,:i
ci y and at the same time a most
hi eous , arid repelling one Dr.
I epaga, throughout his talk im
p essed all with the fact , that China
lis undergoing a marvelous reform, —
and that in afe years there will be
( 1)
a Greater,China competing with the
greatest nations on earth in alii
branches of commer ial and military
activity. 1
The next lecture in this popular
series will be given on Feb. 26 by

It was a. large and appre. iative
audience which greeted the speaker
in the Auditorium last Saturday , on
the occasion of Lincoln Day. That
this audience was pleased was
plainly evident by the fiequent ap
plause interrupting the speaker. 'The
Hon Clark E. Carr spoke as only
one other man cant speak, on the
dedication of the great battlefield of
Gettysburg, flor there 'are but two
survivors of th nationai
committee hating the ceremonies in
charge Mrl. Cam was the Illinois
commissioner, and very ably gave i his
reminiscences, trom the book which
he has published l under that name.
The origin of Lincoln's Gettysburg
addrss and the great disappoint- 1
ment it created at first Were topics
of deep interest. ,
The admirable playingl of the col

orchestra and the pleasing
seleOion by t i tle Glee dub, helped
make the exercises the moss pleas
