Union Lecture on "Tiger Hunting"

Dr. William Lord Smith of Boston, member of the American Geographical Society and fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, will deliver an illustrated lecture in the Living Room of the Union next Tuesday night on "Tiger Shooting" and Travels in Korea,' China and Java."

Dr. Smith has travelled extensively in the Far East and has had opportunities such as come to few men for obtaining inside knowledge of the countries he has visited. His professional standing gave him entrance into the harems of some of the Eastern potentates. In traveling through Africa, Korea, and China, Dr. Smith earned the gratitude of many of the natives by exterminating lions and tigers that were constantly a source of terror to the inhabitants of isolated villages. In a word, he knows the jungle and desert and can make his hearers feel their charm.
