Though the assembly is almost over
the crowd continues to increase, and the
lecturers see undiminished audiences
before them at every session. Monday
began with the devotional hour, as
usual. Professor Hutchinson had been
announced for the 8 O'Clock children s
meeting, but, through misunderstand-
ing, was not present, and his chalk-talk
was deferred until this morning.
At 10 O'Clock Professor Dickinson
gave lecture on biology, which was
very interesting and full of material for
thought.
At II O'Clock came the principal ad-
dress OF the day in Rev. Charles Win
.bigler's lecture, Mirage; or, Some
Delusions of Mankind" The audience
digested the lecture with their dinners,
then returned at 80 to listen to Mrs.
Sophie Knight give her lecture on cook
ing. The class was so large that it
gathered in the tabernacle, instead of
the chapel, and more than half filled
the auditorium.
Mrs. knight set good example to the
male lecturers by commencing and quit
ting promptly on time. She was fol-
lowed at 230 o'clock by Mrs. j. B.
Blakeslee, of the Orion Club, who gave
"a piano recital.
A half hour of music, and then Prof.
Pinkley took the platform with his dia-
lect delineations. The professor had
taken a good time to rest, and was in
80. >ir.f 10 Co &c
was one of the most interesting OF the
day.
A young peoples meeting and the
filled up the time left of the afternoon.
In the evening DR.. Gunsaulus gave
his lecture on Cromwell and Washing
tom to a crowded house. Notwith-
standing his grief and the unsettled
state of his mind, owing to the news re-
garding his father which the telegraph
brought on Sunday from Chicago, DR..
Gunsaulus delivered the lecture in his
usual powerful and inimitable style. A
large number OF visitors were down from
the city, and special train carried them
back to the city at the close of the lee
ture. The same train carried DIR. Gun
saulus to Los Angeles, on his way to the
east. The trustees will not soon forget
DIR. Gunsaulus's disregard of his own
feelings, in order that the promises OF
the assembly programme might be full
filled.
The programme today was interesting,
as usual The devotional meeting at
O'Clock was led by Rev. Will Shepard, o.
Carpinteria. Ats O'Clock Prof. A. H..
Hutchinson entertained the children in
the Presbyterian church with few OF
his rapidly-draw transformation pic
,,of his lectures on biology at 10 o'clock.
At II o'clock Prof. Virgil Pinkley gave
his concluding performance in character
sketching and reading. The "Chariot
Race" from Ben Hur, MARK Twain and
the interviewer" and other good selec-
Eions were among his renditions. The
audience appreciated the entertainment
thoroughly and only regretted the arri-
val of the time for closing.
At 80 Prof Blakeslee put his chorus
class through final rehearsal for the
concert, which took place in the even
ing.
At O'Clock the tabernacle was filled
to hear DR.. J. B. Young give his lecture
upon abraham Lincoln"
Mrs. knight gave her lesson on salads
at O'Clock, and at 5 O'Clock the long
deferred lecture by Prof. Hammond held
the boards, while the evening was de-
voted to the grand concert by the Orion
Club and the chorus class.
Wednesday is the closing day of the
assembly, and many good things are on
the list. H. H. TREBLA.
