Three Good Lectures and Other Attrac-
tions-The Preparations for Recognition
Day.

Prof. Hirst failed to arrive in time for
the platform meeting on Tuesday night,
but telegram received by Mr.. Cole late
yesterday afternoon announces that he
will be present this morning at the IL
O'Clock services.
The devotional service was we'll at
tended yesterday morning. DR.. Weber
is as active in efforts to make the de-
votional services interesting and attrac-
tive as he is in everything else he under
takes, and is altogether one OF the most
popular men on the grounds.
At 10 O'Clock Mr.. w. S. Monroe, OF
Pasadena, conducted the Teachers
Retreat" in the Friends church. He
had an eager and attentive audience,
which entirely filled the building. The
subject was Literature" Today the sub
ject will be ''The Child we Teach"
At IL O'Clock the tabernacle was we'll
filled to listen to Rev. Alfred Runners
lecture on "Shams." The doctor started
out with a general denunciation of
hypocricy, with illustrations of common
instances. He was particularly down
on the inappropriate names for saloons,
instancing one named the "Olive
Branch" This name, he said, indi-
Gated peaceful retreat, while the sa-
loon was anything but peaceful. The
labels on liquor bottles were next held
up for inspection, and list of 'bitters," !"
night-caps, etc., read off.
The lecture was interspersed with
many fine quotations and numerous
illustrative, humorous stories.
The early part of the afternoon was
occupied by Prof. Blakeslee and his
chorus class, whose efforts were listened
to by quite large audience. The class
| is making rapid advance.
At 2:30 Prof. Virgil A. Pinkley, of
Cincinnati, lectured. His subject was
"Hazel Kirke," which was treated in an
interesting manner.
At 7 80 there was song recital and
other music, preceding the lecture at s.
Doctor Dobbs handled his subject,
"From Kadesh Barnea to Jerusalem"
in his usual interesting manner, making
those of his audience feel by his vivid
powers of description as if they had
really taken the trip themselves.
Notes.
H. H. Maynard, of Toledo, Iowa, was
among the arrivals at the beach yester-
day.
Rev. Weber, DIR. Dobbs and three
others are going on fishing trip down
the coast today.
The programme at the tabernacle to-
day includes three lectures and a con-
cert by the Orion Club.
Prof. Ludlam was at the beach yester-
day visiting Prof. Pinkley, who is an old
friend and schoolmate.
Another gasoline accident took place
last Saturday. The victim this time
was Mrs. DR.. Cuthbert, who burned one
hand severely, and her face and other
hand slightly.
Mrs. Sophie Knight will give her first
lecture to the cooking class today. Her
subject is bread-making, and will be il
lustrated on the platform by making and
baking bread.
| Miss Gray, one of the young ladies
burned by gasoline last week, is not i'm
proving as rapidly as was expected. Her
wounds are healing very slowly. Her
father is still with her. Miss Dugger,
the other young lady, went home with
her father yesterday.
A register is kept in the tabernacle for
those in attendance on the Chautauqua
meetings, but though attention has fre-
quently been called to it and those pres

there were only seventy-three names en-
rolled yesterday noon.

Prof. Blakeslee of the Orion Club says
that their reception by Southern Cali
fornia is very warm and kindly COM
pared with that which they met with in
the north part of the state at Pacific
Grove. He also draws favorable COM
parison between the climate at Long
Beach and at Pacific Grove.
