Lake Chautauqua. Surely it can never be dull
here, for the amusements are SO varied and pas
times SO plentiful The unacquainted one
often gets the idea that there is but one resort
on this lake and that is the Assembly grounds.
Familiarity soon apprises them of their error.
and while the Assembly is the largest and more
visited point, it is far from being the only one.
Those who wish a luxurious resort place of
fashion and of ease, with merry hops gay par
ties, or who wish to enjoy quiet rest, can have
their most extravagant ideal satisfied at beau
tiful Lakew ood, Greenhurst or Point Chau-
tauqua.
The past week has been lively one because
of the lively people gathered here. The hotels
are nearly tull and still expecting more. At
the Assembly grounds there has been bril-
liant programme, big school, pleasant weather,
splendid audiences and happy association.
The programme this year does not possess as
many brilliant lights and living stars as those
of former years. but men Of reputation
standard lecturers and instructors are regular
entertainers, and there are fewer of the inferior
class thrown in to fill up the catalogue Of
takers.
FAMOUS PITCHER STAGG.
Stagg has come. The Chautauqua nine is
well under way, and the chances are that there
will be some rousing games. Stagg is an unas-
suming fellow. and cares little for the notoriety
thrust upon him by the press. which has
heralded him near and far as the praying
pitcher" He is short in stature, rather heavy
set, with crisp curly hair face and hands as
bronzed as those of an Indian, with sparkling.
frank blue eyes that are always laughing. q set
of white even teeth which always show them
selves in the quiet smile that is always visible
when he has scored some good point over his
opponents. His greatest and best points are
solid common sense and cool head, which
he uses with the same good effect
whether it be in the national game or as a
rousing leader of a prayer meeting. He says
that his days of ball playing are over, and that
he must quit knocking about and settle down
ministry, and has now accepted positson as
physical instructor of the New York Young
Mems Christian Association, undoubtedly more
in keeping with his natural aptitude.

ROUND ABOUT THE LAKE.
Lakewood, gay and beautiful Lakewood
never saw season the like of this one. Here
the crowds that Will have gathered here by the
middle of August. Then the military. the
Cleveland Grays from Ohio, will be encamped
here, and society will be in its giddiest whirl.
At least 100 guests are at this one point. and
in fortnight the number will be 1000 The
yachts and sail boats fit to and from every point
with parties from the Saratoga of Lake Cha-I
tauqua, who free from cares are drinking to its
depth the cup of joys and pleasures innumer-
able.
To leave out Greenhurst from the noinis nm
this silvery sheet of water with its fair Indian
name would be like a royal court without its
fairest lady or this place it can be fairly SAID,

but the guests at other places. It is naturally
the prettiest point OF the lake, for natures
beauty has been carefully preserved and added
to by the finest touches of skjllful landscape
artists. 1t is quite swell-yes, decidedly swell,
and has the only white service direct from the
New York cafes, on the lake. Their dinners
given every afternoon are the rage of the sea-
son, and guests from all over the lake come to
partake of these sumptuous feasts. Mrs. Fen
ton, wife OF the late Ex-Governor, recently gave
one of the brightest parties of the season here,
and her example is being followed by many
others high in social circles.
