'''The English Novelist Gives His First Lecture in America.'''

New York, Oct. 11. — [[Arthur Conan Doyle|A. Conan Doyle]], the English novelist, began his lecture tour in this country last night at the Calvary Baptist church, this city.

[[Arthur Conan Doyle|Mr. Doyle]] is the son of [[Charles Altamont Doyle|Charles Doyle]], an English artist of wide reputation. When a boy of 6 the former went to Stonyhurst college and remained there seven years. After studying in Germany he went to Edinburgh and took a regular course in medicine. But this did not cure him of his literary tendencies, although his first efforts met with but scanty success. He is famous as the author of "[[The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes]]," "[[The White Company]], "[[Micah Clarke]]," "[[The Refugees]]" and many detective tales. His style is vigorous rather than subtle, broad rather than fine.

[[Arthur Conan Doyle|Mr. Doyle]] is noted not only for his writings, but for his bigness. He has a well-knit, athletic body, supported by a pair of powerful legs and towers an inch above 6 feet in height. He weighs about 225 pounds, which is all bone and muscle. His head is large and well covered with brown hair. He wears heavy black moustache and has large, kindly gray eyes, keen and Celtic.
