Mark Twain Lecture

Mark Twain (or a reasonable facsimile) will deliver a lecture and recount assorted anecdotes from his life!

Magnificent fireworks!
were contemplated for this occasion but the idea has been abandoned.

A splendid orchestra!
is in town but has not been engaged.

That curious and unaccountable Freak of nature.

The Irish giant!
Who stands 9 feet 6 inches and has a breadth of beam in proportion,
And who has been the pet of kings and the honoured associate
Of the nobility and gentry of the old world,
Will not be present and need not be expected.
