MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK, August Eli
there was a Wheeling lecture bureau with
enterprise and courage enough to provide
such a course of lectures as that to which
the inhabitants of Mountain Lake Park are
now listening, the expense would probably
bankrupt the man who should undertake
it, but il would be a more profitable enter
tsinment than was ever offered the people
of Wheeling, and perhaps equal to any that
the larger cities have had in ten years.
II costs the Park Association large sum
of money 10 bring these eminent lecturers
here. 1t does not pay IN hard cash, for the
price Of admission is merely nomi-
mai. But those who are carry
ing forward this enterprise desire
Pleasure and Satisfaction
from the intellectual feast as we'll as those
who only pay the price of admission.
1t is worth whole years study to listen
TO q course of lectures on varied topics run
ming through two weeks, giving the best
thought and the result OF years OF research
upon the particular subjects these men
deal with, and are so condensed that with
an hour OF listening one can carry away
the result of years OF labor some one else
has performed.
Dr. Payne, Of Delaware College, Ohio,
closed the lectures Of this first week of the
course yesterday. His subject was the
miracle of the Nineteenth Century"
II was well received by the audienC. All
the lectures are so good that there is no OPP
pOrtuuity 10 make contrast between a
good and had one. We are getting spoiled
if not surfeited by the feast.
As this is Saturday night there was no
lecture, but instead a very enjoyable mu-
GiCal GDtprT4I by a pOmDl-
nation OF tho r..usi"al talent of the Park
under the dire, ton of Mr.. CrOuce.
Speaking OF the musical talent OF the
Park | might say that the Colored jubilee

gether aS waters at the Mountain Lake
Park hotel. would be more entertaining,
probably than the more artistic perform
anCe last night, and as they sing
Sacred Songs.
the management might do worse for the
entertainment of the Park people when
there is break IN the programme, than by
introducing them in the auditorium.

Wheeling and Baltimore continue to fur
niSh the most OF the young lad'eS to the
Park. Baltimore is in the habit OF claiming
the
Most Beautiful Young Ladies'
in the world, but Wheeling can afford the
com mparisOn in the Park.
Probably the most charming OF the Bal
tiu'Ore young ladies is Miss Lockwood,
staying at Mr.. Van Metres Park Hotel.

There is a loud call for that flock OF

but not forgotten, 10 come back and do
