MOUNT DORA CHAUIAuOuA.


what Has Been Arranged and What Is Hoped For.
Leesburg Commercial.
The Gazette calls especial attention to
the approaching sessions of the South
Florida Chautauqua, which is to be held
at Mount Dora, in this lake county,
beginning on Tuesday, February 14th.
From its numerous illusions to this sub
iect we take the following excerpts,
which are of greatest interest to the gen.
eral public:
The Association is in its infancy, hav-
ing only begun its career, holding its
first session of literature and music last
April, and it needs the support of the
press and of the people.
The underlying object of the South
Florida Chautauqua scheme Is purely to
establish benevolent or educational in
stitution, which Is to be controlled by
board of trustees OF all church denomi-
nations.
1t is not a land scheme at all, being To-
Gated some distance from Mount Dora.
and under the mutual control of large
number of parsons who have purchased
small lots on the Chautauqua plat from
| the Association.
The aim of the management Is TO
| bring yearly to South Florida. for the
| instruction and edification of the people
| of South Florida, the greatest talent Of
| America and of the world. and all the
| sciences and branches of learning, of
| art and of music, will be represented
/ We believe the coming session to be
| held on their grounds February 14-23
i inclusive, will be the greatest inteliec-
/ tral and musical treat that has ever been
offered to the people of South Florida.
Great lecturers on all the sciences and
arts have been engaged. Reduced rates
on all the railroads in the State, during
the session of ten days, have been Sc
cured, at half fare. Special trains will
be run every day. Special excursions
will be run on the most important days.
The auditorium, with a seating capac'
ity of 800, Is an assured fact, and or
the opening day of the coming session
| there will be fine, large building-aI
| ornament to the county and a monu
ment to the Chautauqua MANAGEMENT
