The Hawaiian gazette., 1888-10-02
A VISIT TO cHAUTAuOUA,

ple there, but we were not in them
much. The table was good. the land
lady very nice, and We met many pleas
ant people. 1 had to answer many
questions, and some OF them such ridicu-
lous things. The first morning we took q
nap instead of going out, we were so
tired. but after dinner heard Joseph
Cook lecture on Phillips, Cough and
Beecher. He was very good, but 50 long
that one gets very tired. We also heard
a splendid concert by the Hungarian
band. Sunday was very full, we started
ont At S o'clock TO the devotional exer-
eisss- and at Q: 50 10 Sunday School. 4
Mrs. Crafts was TO conduct the children
department and We were anxious TO see
how she carried II on-she was splendid:
I sal with class OF little boys but did
not have TO do any teaching. From
there we went to the Amphitheatre TO
hesr Bishop Vincent's Baccaolaureate
sermon. II WAS Just grand 10 be IN that
building that holds between i've and SIX
thousand and every seat filled, besides
p-aople with their own camp chairs or
standing lust outside-it Is open all the
wsv round 50 that it is not necessary 10
he inside. In the afternoon We took
vIIk snd az four came the veSper ser
vice; st = (: 50 the song service, and after
that the night vigil. A person can at
tend something every hour OF the day II
one wishes. Monday morning we went
10 the ehildren's Bible class. Willie
would have enjoyed being there very
much to have seen Frank Baird draw l
had heard 50 much about him that Was
quite anxious 10 see him. He Is an odd
looking man and funny also At II was
: lecture by Dr.. GunSaulus on Oliver
Cromwell. He Is q gentleman OF only
little over thirty but magnificent
sneaker. Some call hum the Beecher OF
the West. So many said they liked him
better than Cook. NJ and both
did. That afternoon Cook lectured again
but we did not feel like listening 10 him,
50 ST / went 10 5 meeting of the class
Of 1887. was welcomed very cordially,
and il WAS proposed that | carry the ban
ner Of our class in the procession on
Wednesday, but IS l had never passed
through the syCheS that could not be. l

lie Hopper, and several Others who We're
scuuainted with Island people. That
evening we attended another concert /;
besides the music there was recitation
by sn elocutioniSt,
Tuesday morning We went through the
museum Snd visited several other pisces
before going 10 hear DR.. GunS2uluS lee
ture on the American view Of Washing
ton. Every one was so glad 10 see him
zppear on the platform that the Chau-
.Sudua salute was first given him and
then perfect round OF spplau e. The
salute is the waving OF the handkerchief,
and it wss pretty sight to see several
thousand wSving 81 once. At $50 We
went 10 the question drawer, people
handed in questions and Cook answered
them without any preparation whatever.
I enioyed him then IS ne was 50 con
StSntlv changing his subjects. As Son
IS he w2s through Mr.. Leon Vincent lee
tured on Th2ckersy.
A promenade concert wSs announced
io- the evening, and OF course every one
went down TO the beach. Not very lar
from the lake is the Hotel Atheneum,
surrounded with the most beautiful
grounds; these were brilliantly lighted
with lznierns-both the house and
zrounds-in fzct most Of the cottages
were decorated. Then On the lake was s
fountain showing different colors, and 8
bonfire also in the lake, besides fire
works and the band playing. Il was Just
lovely and We hated to leave. About 9
