THE BAHAMA ISLANDS. 
SUBJECT OF ILLUSTRATED ‘TRAVEL 
TaLK BrEForRE MANCHES- 
TER BROTHERHOOD. 
County Treasurer David I, Rob- 
inson, of Gloucester, was the ‘speak- 
er Monday evening before the Man- 
chester Brotherhood, when he gave 
a very interesting travel talk illus- 
trated by stereopticon views on the 
Bahama Islands. Mr. Robinson vis- 
ited the islands in 1911 and the pic- 
tures which he showed were taken 
then. The talk was purely of an in- 
formal nature and was that of a man 
who delights in travelling and who 
delights in telling his friends what 
he has seen. 
The pictures showed many inter- 
esting things to be seen about the 
old Spanish possession, Nassau, now 
under English rule. Four-fifths of 
the population of this island are col- 
ored people and most of the others 
are government officials. Among the 
pictures shown, aside from those de- 
picting the scenery, were views of 
banana trees, pineapple, sponges, 
orange and grape-fruit trees, cocoa- 
nuts and others showing the prod- 
ucts of the country, also the thatch- 
ed-roofed dwellings of the natives, 
etc 
Mr. Robinson was given a hearty 
vote of thanks for his interesting 
talk. 
It was announced that the first 
meeting in February,—the 2d—will
