Why LECTURERS Talk.

In THE evening Mr.. ]. W. Bengougb, editor
of the well known humorous paper, Grip, of
Toronto, Can. entertained the audience with
"Puffbalps Tribulations." He said that per-
sons who Iectured either did it for money or
with motives of a mercenary character. He
himself probably did 1t for one of these
reasons Bengough was once on for an enter
tainment in which many celebrated stars were
to appear, but like all stars were a
great deal late, or, to relieve the
monotony, did not appear at all.
The Chairman, an Englishman by the ma me
of Puffball, became very much excited over the
non-appearance of the performers, and asked
Mr.. Bengougn to help fill ont the programme
by sketches. and he repeated the entertain
ment this evening. he illustrated many of the
common scenes and prominent characters about
the assembly grounds whose peculiarities his
acute eye had marked. The lecture was brlm-
full of fun and kept the audience in the Jolliest
of humor throughout
Mr.. and Mrs. Whitaker. stopping at Lake
wood, came to Chautauqua this afternoon in
the yacht Greenhurst, and spent some hours
upon the assembly grounds.

THERE is some satisfaC

THERE is some satisfaction in the obser-
vation that New York has been stung by the
rejection of its attempt to strike the surplus
for the building of the Grant monument. and
by the comments of the press, to the extent OF
making an effort for the fulfllment of itslong-
abandoned pledge. But the effort is a desperate
one. The poor millionaires of that city hnd
their resources SO severely taxed by their sum-
mer water place campaigns that they really
cannot spare any money to fulfill old and for
gotten pledges about monument to national
hero.

price was too high. and bore the ear-marks OF
lob" City Engineer Ehlers said he ssti-
mated the cost OF the work few years ago at

advanced since. A motion TO advertise for

some of the people who bid for the contract
were not contractors at all. He was ruled out

To-day Promised 20 be Considerably
Warmer Than Yesterday.
Old Sol impressed the people with the fact
that he was still doing business at the old
stand yesterday, and as the day grew on all
showed that they were slightly aware Of IL.
Nearly every person was willing to take an
affidavit by all that was sacred that 1t was the
hottest day for many years. 1t may have been
q hot day. but It does not eclipse the record
made this day week, when the mercury climbed
up to $40. Yesterday 1t was four degrees lower
than this. The hottest time during the day
was at o'clock, when the thermometer regis
tered 800 on top Of the Schmidt Friday build
ing.
Sergeant Stewart thought that to-day would
be corker, II rain did not arrive before noon,
and advised people to HE themselves on to
some place iu the country, to escape what he
thinks will be hotter than any day this sum-
mer. The record, compared with last year.
showed yesterday to be just one degree cooler
than on the same day in 1889.
John Wolf, employed IN Lanes brick yard,
on the Southside, was overcome by the heat
while at work yesterday afternoon. Wolf was

In the New England Magazine Mr.. F. II
Chase objects to the conclusion SO generally
reached by the country that New England
farms are steadily being depopulated.
While he admits that in some respects it
is true that New England agriculture can
not hold its own against the rich tracts of
the far West, which have in recent years
been brought into cultivation, but that by
admitting this point the whole question is
proved that agriculture is decreasing in
New England on account of the COMPETE
ton of the newer States is, he insists, far
from true. "On the contrary, it can be
shown that New England has not declined
in what Horace Greeley has called the
noblest of professions and that there is as
yet no immediate danger of the disappear
ance of our landed estates and the con-
version of the New England farmers, that
class of husbandmen which has become so
inseparably connected with the history of
the whole country, into shopmen and
manufacturers"
