Professor Cooke's Lecture.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Professor Cooke, having met with a slight accident, was unable to give his lecture on "The Two Sicilles," with which he was to have completed his course on Italian cities, last evening. In order not to disappoint the audience, Dr. O. W. Huntington Kindly consented to show the views which Professor Cooke had collected in Southern Italy and Sicily.

The views comprised about sixty places of interest, and were thrown on the white wall by the calcium light. Starting in Italy, the first picture was the Bay of Naples; then followed in quick succession the fish market at Naples, the Carthusian monastery, Virgil's tomb, Vesuvius, showing the present Crater, several views of Pompell and many more. Next, passing over to Sicily, photographs of Mount Etna, the old quarries at Syracuse, a beautiful Greek temple at Argumentum, and the bay of Falermo were shown.

The thanks of the audience are due Dr. Huntington for his part in the evening's entertainment.
