PACIFIC GROVE, July 6.-Now that the
festivities connected with the holidays are
thing of the past, the assembly has set
tied down to its regular educational work.
The classes, tie organization of which have
already beer noted, are running smoothly,
and as is customary will remain open to
newcomers throughout the session. The
most popular department is the cooking
school, under the direction of NJ RS. Sophie
w. knight, who already has won from her
associates the title Of High Priestess of
the Culinary Art" 1t consists Of seventy
five enthusiastic members, some of whom
are bold enough to express desire to par
take of the product of their first efforts
without taking out policy in some life in
surance company. Mrs. Knight has
kitchen fitted up in the basement of the
chapel where she gives instructions daily.
The directory of the Pacific Coast branch
of the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific
Circle has for several years past desired to
extend the session of the summer assem-
bly,, but have hesitated about doing SO for
fear the public might not appreciate and
support the move. This year step was
made in that direction by the organization
OF a class for Teachers Review and Normal
Work, extending over period of eight
weeks. and the management has been moro
than gratified with the results, as the de-
partment has twenty-five teachers taking
the course. The success of this step will
undoubtedly lead to further extensions in
1891.
Yesterday forenoon Miss Helen S. Wright
of the State Normal School at San Jose adj
dressed an attentive audience on "Some
Modern Roman Churches and Ceremoni-
ais" graphically describing the scene in St.
Peters, Rome, on the occasion of the last
day of the celebration of the POpe's jubilee,
on which occasion there were between o., ,0G0
and 60,00O people present, while the capa-
city of the edfice is in the neighborhood of
$4,000.
In the afternoontRev. Selah w. Brown of
Santa Barbara delivered a delightful lee
ture, which he styled sour Next Door
Neighbor," being an account of the speak
er's observations during an extended tour
Of Mexico. The lecturer detailed the GUS
toms and peculiarities of the people of our
sister republic and dealt with the history
of the country in manner calculated to be
best remen bered by his auditors.
LaSG evening TIE OIiOu OluO anu fTOleS-
sor Virgil A. Pinckloy combined in giving
an entertainment, which was a happy
change from the class studies, for the work
in classes is not play by any means. Pro
fessor Pinckley is the funny man of the
Assembly and will undoubtedly keep every
body in a pleasant frame of mind so long
as he is with US.
To-day was "Chautaugua Sabbath" and
Rev. A. C. Hirst, ID. d., LID, of the Uni
versity of the Pacific, President of the Pa
ciic Coast Chautauquans. delivered a pol
is he'd and impressive sermon from the last
clause of the twelfth verse, second chapter
OF EpheSians: Having no hope and with
out God in the world" All immense audi
ence assembled to listen to the sermon, and
both anneXes had to be thrown open to ac-
commOdate those who could not obtain
seats in the main part of the auditorium.
This evening Rev. L. c. Easton, pastor of
Calvary Presbyterian Church of San Fran
cisco, is announced to preach.
Rev. II. c. Minton of San Jose, who re-
Gently returned from a tour of the world,
was to have addressed the assembly on
"Oriental Religions" tomorrow evening,
but he Is confined to his room by illness,
and is unable to keep his appointment, in
consequence of which Colonel w. j. Arm
strong will lecture on Russia and the Nj
hilists."
There are not as many people at the
grove this year as there we've at corre-
spending time last season, but the attend
ance at the lectures has been even larger
than then. During the past few days both
Ell Carmelo and Del Monte have been taxed
to their utmost capacity, but to-day large
number of holiday excursionists returned
to their homes, and no one who desires to
come here during the Chautauqua exercises
need fear being unable to secure comforta-
BILE accommodations.
Next Thursday will be Recognition day.
when large graduating class will be pre-
sented with diplomas. There are many
Chautauquans and friends of the movement
in San Francisco and San Jose who desire
to attend these exercises, and the Chautau-
qua directors being desir0us of assembling
as many as may wish to come, have made
special arrangements with the railroad
company to dispatch special train for the
occasion. The train will leave San Fran
cisco Thursday morning at o'clock sharp
and San Jose at S:45 and run through on
fast time to the grove. The same train will
return in the evening, leaving here at 80
o'clock. Passengers who come down on
the special may return the same evening or
remain over night and return on any of the
regular trains on Friday, and the fare for
the round trip has been fixed at So, being
even less than the Sunday excursion rate,
While granting greater privileges.
This morning the express train brought
down special Pullman containing A. b.
Cummins and party of Des Moines, Iowa.
Mr.. Cummns Is attorney for the Chicago
and Rock Island Railway, and is now on
tour OF the Pacific Coast. The party started
on its travels on June 26th and is due home
