PACIFIC GROVE, June 25.-Al trains
run int the grove without changing cars at
Monterey, and whenever the time ap-
= breaches or an arrival a procession Of
people is to be seen heading for the depot
As the train stops multitude of upturned
eyes scan the faces of the passengers and
then Tecognitions follow, and friends wend
their way of to domiciles which are in
readine But many come without having
quarters engaged and minus awaiting
friends, and these people seek Chautauqua
headqua rters, where registers of all avail
able shelter are kept for their convenience
By this method visitors are enabled to Sc
eure rooms at short notice and the crowd is
quickly accommodated. while without sys-
tenn many would go wandering around
homeless, hungry and dissatisfied, enViOus
Of those with greater foresight who antici-
pated a sojourn here some time ago and
made their preparations accord ngly. There
are many strangers here in addition to the
old stand-bys.
INCREASING POPULARITY.
It is truly astonishing what an attraction
for the people tie Assembly has become
San Francisco has, comparatively speaking,
a meager representation Of Chautauquans,
but there are many residents of the metrOp-
ellis here who do not belong to any reading
circle, but who are attracted TO the grove by
the entertainments, lectures, concerts and
musical TeciIals, and also the educational
classes. Among the instructors in attend
ance who have done so much In past years
tD make the department; work attractive and
popular Is Professor Josiah Keep of Mills
College. he spent his vacation In the East
eru States last summer aud IN consequence
could not attend the Assembly, but this
year be viii continue his work In con-
ChOlogy, and the prospects are that his class,
possibly barring that IN cookery which
again is under the care Of Mrs. Sophia W.
Knight will be the banner class Of the
meeting. The excursions along the beach
by Professor Keep and his pupils are espe-
eially enjoyable. and they get out of their
com 'OTtable beds and pursue their chosen
line Of work while the balance OF the at
PENDANTS are wrapped in peaceful slumber.
AN ENTHUSIASTIC CLASS.
Another familiar teacher who takes his
class out On early morning walks is IiI. {.
L. Anderson of Santa Cruz. For eleven
years he has made specially of the study
Of the Rif8 Of Monterey Bay, and as the
MOSES and other sea grOwths have a spe-
csl attraction, Dr. AndersOn's class in bot
any is always an enthusiastic one.
Professor WV. ThOburn, with his Walks
ard Talks in Geology" who made decided
hit last year, continues his work. he also
conducts & class 10 biology. The other de-
partmentS, which will be referred to in fu-
ture reports, start out under favorable aus
pces.
Rev. Thomas Filben, the executive officer,
has his hands full, as the absence Of PreSi-
dent HiTst throws much Of the responsible
ity Of the management Of affairs on his
shoulders.
