dropped and showers fell. The several
schools continue to flourish, despite the
absence of the teachers in Toronto. The
most interesting one Is the bicycle school
under the immediate direction of W. s..
Maltby, the well-known wheelman. Mr..
Maltby gave an exhibition of his remarkable
skill on bicycle last Saturday night and
also rode around in the Amphitheater on
top of an ordinary wagon wheel. 1t
looked too easy for anything, at least
so thought q number of very pretty
Chautauqua girls, and accordingly
they resolved to take lessons. The fun be-
gan yesterday, and continued to-day. 1t is
a sight for the gods to watch the young
ladies in their frantic attempts to keep
their balance on the top of the bicycle. One
authenticated maiden from New York has
broken all previous records in the number OF
times she has fallen. When the procession
the way she pluckily stuck to the wheel won
her the good wishes of all the spectators.
After she finished to-day the inventory
looked something like this on the trial
balance:" Two thumps on the body; three
bumps on the head; one bruised finger, and
partially skinned knuckle. She VOWS she
will learn to ride, If it takes all summer,
and the young men bicyc1ists also VOW II she
is successful they will give her banquet,
and make her an honorary member OF the

Another Fair Lecturer.
Prominent people are arriving by every
boat and train. One of these was Miss Maud
J. Welch, who dropped in from Buffalo.
She has made quite reputation as lectu-
rer, and has engagements for public lectures
in Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Indianap-
oils and other Western places. Prof. X. w.
Harper, formerly of Yale University, got
back from the West last night and now reg
listers from Chicago. He had been to Pork
opolis to consult the trustees Of the Chicago
University, of which he is President, about
some plans they have in mind. Prof. Har-
per says the university will be open In the
fall of 1892, and he expects to have fair
number of students to enter the classes. He
is great favorite here, and they tell many
q good joke about his Observation-Disclosures
To-day's programme was decidedly inter
tinued his lectures on the "Mound Builders
at 2:30 P. NJ. Prof. John Bach McMaster, of
the University of Pennsylvania, lectured at
4:3o, in the Hall of Philosophy, before
large audience on "Hoop for the Barrel,
or the Struggle for Government" 1t was
an Introduction to three lectures in the
course on the commercial independence of
the United States. At O'Clock was held the
c. L. S. C. round table," which was quite
interesting and very largely attended.
At Z occurred the beautiful vesper service,
and at 8 o'clock Miss Maud Murray, of Bos-
ton, the popular elocutionist, gave to large
audience in the Amphitheater very re-
markable rendering of Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps artistic and dramatic temperance
story, Jack, the Fisherman" Miss Murray
won frequent applause by the clever man
ner in which she brought out the exquisite
pathos and tragic force of the story.
Salads Lauded to the skies.
Mrs. Emma Ewing's lecture to the ladies
to-day was on salads, and it was very inter
esting, even to the men present. She said
salads were the most essential things in the
whole range of cooking, and should occupy
q place on the dinner table every day. They
can be made from all manner Of fruits, veg
etables, fish, poultry, game, and, in fact,
nearly everything that is edible. Curiously
enough, Mrs Ewing suggested that salads,
law of harmony and, second, the law Of
contrast. For example, in chicken salad
there is harmony of flavor between the
to relieve the quiet tiavors of the other
things, and. secondly, the contrast is be-
tween the celery and chicken, one being raw
and the other cooked. Mrs. Ewing laid downs a
rule about garntshing the salads that few
people practice. Nothing must be used in
garnishfng salad that is not fit to be used
with it. Mrs: Ewing sent big dish of their
salad, made in the classroom, to DR.. Flood,
pfest man on the grounds tonight. The
thirteenth annual meeting of the Business
Educators Association Of America organ
lied here to-day. Prot. L. A Gray, of Port
land, Me-, presided. Representatives from
nearly 100 Of the leading colleges of the land

nun: of Hartford, Conn; "1niatory Work in

E. Chase, Indiana, Pa. This afternoon
Chancellor Vincent delivered the address of
welcome, which was feelingly responded to
by President Gray, DR.. Mayo, of Detroit, and
Secretary W. E. McCord, of New York.
Among those in attendance are Hon. Ira
President W. E. McCord, New York; secre-
tary and Treasurer III. 7. Loomis, Cleveland,
o.; G. W. Brown, Jacksonville, ILL.,; Enos
Spencer, Louisville, Ky.
Enlarging Narrow Minds.
Chancellor Vincent, in his address of well
come, spoke as follows: "The work in which
you are engaged is work in which we are
very much in sympathy. Your work may
be, although it ought not to be more narrow
than ours. You aim at specific work in
behalf of particular class of people. Our
doctrine is that the more widely class is
educated the better work that class will do
in its chosen line, 1 remember good many
years ago meeting young lady with a roll
of music under her arm, bound for a village
to attend music lessons. She said in the
course of conversation: am member of
Gle because 1 am a musician. 1 thought
the other day there was danger of my
becoming narrow as musician in giving
attention all the time to one particular
thing and thought would make a better
broader, more thoroughly inspired and in
spring musician If lived in a larger world |
and had vaster horizon 1 looked at her
with astonishment because it was an ex-
ceedingly wise remark for girl devoted to |
music to make. The c. l.. S. C. aims to |
broaden the horizon of all who are COM |
PEELED to do hard work. Lawyers, for ex- |
ample, and physicians and ministers, many |
of whom are the narroweSt men on the |
planet. professor in college may become |
narrow, and may devote himself to his |
speciality and forget that there is anything |
else in this world. 1t puts me in mind of a |
story of a French artist who one day re- |
marked to a friend the fact that there were |
only three great artists in the world. Only |
three! And who are they7' said the gentle |
man.
"'Who are zay? Zay are, in re first place |
myself, and forget ze names Of ze other |
