Dr. William Lord Smith '86, of Boston, will deliver the first Union lecture of the year at 8 o'clock this evening in the Living Room of the Union. His subject will be "Tiger Shooting; and Travels in Korea, China, and Java," and the lecture will be accompanied by a large number of interesting stereopticon views. Only members of the Union will be admitted and membership cards must be shown at the door.

Dr. Smith is a member of the American Geographical Society and a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society of England, in the course of this travels he has visited most of the countries of the Orient, where he has had unusual opportunities for acquiring an intimate knowledge of the land. He is thoroughly conversant with both the inhabited regions of the East and the wastes of desert and jungle. In exterminating the lions and tigers that infest many of the Asiatic and African villages, Dr. Smith has frequently been a great benefactor to the natives.

This lecture by Dr. Smith is the first of a number that are being arranged by the officers of the Union to take place on Tuesday evenings during the year.
