Interesting Proceedings.

The Long Beach Chautauqua assem-
bly, has opened auspiciously. A large
of people are in attendance, and
the exercises bid fair to prove as inter-
esting as at any Chautauqua assembly
in the country.
An account of the opening session on
Monday evening was accidentally omit
ted from the HERALD OF yesterday.
The tabernacle was filled to overflow
ing. The programme included music by
the new Long Beach orchestra, and
singing by chorus of sixty voices led
by Charles E. Day, whose ability as a
leader is well known. Probably no
feature of the programme was SO much
enjoyed as the singing of this orchestra.
Four times did they sing, yet the audi
ence wished for more. t....
President Weller, of the Chautauqua
association, spoke in an entertaining
manner. Rev. Manly Benson was an
other speaker whose talk was greatly
appreciated. Mayor Hazard, whose
name was on the programme for an ad-
dress was unfortunately detained.
The Oaklies, unique musical troupe,
furnished their full share of the attrac-
tions. Miss Gertrude Judd whistling a
solo in the sweetest manner possible,
and Miss Pearl Noble executing cornet
solo in manner to call forth enthusi-
astic applause.
THE CLASSES.
The regular classes began yesterday.

opened kindergarten for the little ones
which was we'll attended for an opening
day.
A Sunday school normal class and a
youths class, under Rev. j. w. Holen-
back and Mrs. Agnes L. Hollenbeck
started out auspicously.
Superintendent Will S. Monroe came
down to open the teachers retreat at 10

science talks. Today at the same hour
Prof. E. p. RowelI, of Santa Monica, will
talk of Examinations and Promotions.
The morning lecture, What Made the
Yankee? was well attended, as all lee
lures by DIR. 1. d. Driver should be.
In the afternoon there were more
classes. The chorus class met for half
uOuI pTdCLlCc dU .CU. w u6u Uue pldC-
form was cleared the paraphernalia for
the cooking class was placed in position,
and Mrs. Sophie w. Knight, who has
been winning any amount of praise and
good opinions up at Pacific Grove, came
forward in her usual calm and dignified
manner, and attiring herself in white
apron she proceeded to give lecture
upon bread making, showing the process
to be so easy and the work so light that
the score or more OF men who were
present, in addition to the ladies, wore
look of resolve upon their faces as
they filed out at the close of the lecture,
which seemed to indicate that they pro-
posed to have good bread hereafter if
they had to make it themselves. Today
Mrs. Knight speaks upon beverages
tea, coffee, chocolate and cocoa. She
will illustrate her lecture by preparing
the beverages before the class.
The school of art opened under Miss
Sites at the Presbyterian church, and
the class in music, under Mrs. Emily J.
Valentine, at the Congregational church.
At O'Clock Professor Ludlam opened
his elocution class with fine attend
ance. ,sN
The class in photography was not
opened, owing to the failure OF Professor
G. +. Piatt to arrive in time. He ar
rived on late afternoon train, and will
open his class today.
In the evening there was a concert
given by the Oaklies and G. E. Days
chorus of sixty. There was another i'm
mense crowd, filling the tabernacle and
standing in the doors, and an excellent
programme.
Today's programme includes, besides
the regular classes, two lectures, one by
Rev. Manly Benson of Toronto, upon
Italian Cities and Scenery the second
