CHIC CHAUTAUQUANS.
A Feast of Reason at a General
Delegate Meeting.

Dctc8 atG NSecGlhSs
A general meeting of all the Chautauqua
circles in the city was held last evening in
the parlors of the Centenary church, the
circle of the same name being in charge.
The attendance was very large and the eX-
ercises of unusual merit The program
opened with vocal selection by quartet
from the Hennepin Avenue circle. which
was followed by ten-mlnute talk by Prof.
William Cheney. Miss Mile Wagner gave
an exhibition of her skill as violiniSt, and
Bernie Searles gave reading. Mrs. Chap
man sang in excellent voice pleasant solo,
and Vernon Bell entertained the assembly
for half hour with various electrical ex-
periments, including the bells. Geissler
tubes and similar phenomena. Mrs. l.. l..
Sutherland executed brilliant piano solo,
which was followed by humorous essay on
Hannibal by Judge Fish. Prof. Charles
Carlisle gave reading, and the formal pro-
gram closed with vocal music by the quartet
from the Hennepin Avenue circle.
The evening was then given over to mis-
cellaneouS conversational enjoyment, and
with SO many congenial literary minds,
there was never loss for popular topic.
Music was rendered by several of the young
ladies and gentlemen, and Prof. Bell, with
a Leyden jar, was a center of attraction,
though he shocked the ladies OCCASION
ally. About 10 o'clock light refreshments
were served, and their consumption was the
signal for general departure The even
ing was a pronounced success, and the next
reunion will be anticipated with pleasure,
