Canadian Club.

At a meeting of the Canadian Club on Saturday evening, Mr. B. G. Gordon, the leader of the Harvard Honduras expedition, lectured on the "Ancient Cities of Central America." Mr. Gordon described his trip to Honduras and his visit to the old cities of the interior, whose remarkable ruins give some idea of the civilization which flourished there ages before the coming of Europeans to America. These cities, once so magnificent, are now overgrown by forests, inhabited only by wild animals, and many of them seldom visited by man. Mr. Gordon also told several anecdotes illustrative of the character and customs of the present inhabitants of Honduras.

The club voted to ask Sir William Dawson, the well-known geologist, to lecture before the members.
