ANCE AND INTEREST.
Three Lectures a Day and Many Glasses.
A Good Programme Today-Special
Train Tonight.

The crowd continues to come out with
unabated interest to all the lectures OF
the day, though their number has in
creased The instruction of some of the
classes is in the nature of lectures, and
large numbers not enrolled as pupils at
tend the classes, notebook in hand, and
are Unsuitable in their pursuit of knowl-
edge. 1t is impossible to successfully
compute the present population of Long
Beach, but inquiry elicits the fact that
every lodging and apartment house
is filled to its utmost capacity, and cot
beds in halls and tents are at a pre-
MUM. Yesterday morning two full
carloads OF passengers came to Long
Beach on the morning train, and an
other carload came on the noon train.
The departures from the beach were out
of all proportion to the arrivals.
Great preparations are being made for
the exercises today. A most excellent
programme has been prepared and
great crowd is expected, especially as
the special train will enable all to return
the same day or night.
The lecture of DIR. Dobbs on Wednes-
day evening was most interesting. A
pleasing feature was the introduction
upon the platform of fifteen gentlemen
and ladies', attired in the characteristic
costumes of the land about which he
spoke.
Rev. Selah Brown interested a full
house on Mexico yesterday morning,
drawing comparisons between the
country in 1854 and at the present day.
AngelefIos who have heard Rev. Brown
will not need to be told that the lecture
was good one.
The cooking class was large one yes
terday, and Mrs, Knight, as she stepped
upon the platform at AS, smiled as she
noticed that the attendance at her lee
ture on bread-making was not altogether
ladies. The lecture was interesting,
and, with its practical demonstrations,
progressed rapidly to the accompani-
ment of rapidly moving pencils over
scores of notebooks.
The lecture on ECHOES from Gettys-
burg was delivered in DR.. Young's
most entertaining style, and made plain
by the large maps or diagrams of the
battlefield. The reverend gentleman's
former lectures had prepared his
audience for something good, and they
were not disappointed.
The evening was enlivened with much
good music, and an hour was devoted to
James Whitcomb Riley. under the
leadership of Prof. Virgil Pinkley.
Notes.
Mr.. Hankey, of Santa Ana, is spending
a couple of weeks with his family on the
beach.
Prof. Hirst arrived yesterday, and will
present the diplomas today at the II
O'Clock meeting.
The popular hour for bath is at 4
O'Clock, and at that time there is good
crowd on the beach.
The banquet tonight will take place at
the Iowa villa. The music will be sup
piled by the Cuthbert band.
There was an importation of mos
quitoes on Sunday last, and the human
inhabitants are thinking of appealing to
the authorities for their suppression
under the act forbidding the importa-
tion of alien labor.
The yacht Nellie made its appearance
close in yesterday morning with large
party on board There was good sail
ind breeze and the yacht made pretty
picture as it maneuvered close to the
shore in plain sight of all.
