“Now will we have to be very attentive,” said the daughter of the Delphian editor, to her escort, the Rensselaer high school professor, as they took their seats in the opera house Thursday night, among the people who had gone there to listen to the lecture by Rev. Frank Bristol. His answer was negatively assuring, and the flood-gates of inattention were at once raised to the utter drowning in that section of the hall of every syllable that fell from the lips of the speaker on the rostrum. Savage looks of bald headed men had no more effect than the barbed hints of irate madames in checking the flow of presumed wit that met, mingled with, and destroyed the vocal force of the words of the lecture proper. But this rival entertainment ceased when the lecture was about half through, and in a manner that will long be remembered by the Rensselaer high school professor and the Delphian’s daughter, greatly to the delight of a large number of ticket holders, who are free to say that if the first half of Mr. Bristol’s lecture equalled the last half, it was indeed masterly and entertaining. It might not be put of place here to remark that several high school students sat and suffered and witnessed the spectacle of their professor’s performance, an example they were too well bred to imitate.
