The Mountain Guantanamo


High in the mountains-eouallv
high in its aims-is The Mountain
Chautauqua. Twenty eight humid
red feet above Sea Level, far remov-
ed from hay fever, malaria and
mosquitoes, are the grounds of the
Assembly. They include nine
hundred acres of beautiful, timbered
land, on the breezy summit of the
Allegheny Mountains and on the
main line of the picturesque B. & O..
X. II. One hundred and twenty
i've beautiful cottages are scattered
about the grounds, occupied by
leading people from cities East and
West. Two commodious and we'll
managed hotels open their ample
doors to travellers seeking rest and
refresbment. Many cottages are
open to boarders at reasonable rates.
The Auditorium is attractive and
admirably suited for the purposes
of its construction. TIE Assembly
of the present season opens August
4th and closes August 18th. DIR. w.
u. Davidson, the well known
Chautauqua worker, has charge of
the program and has already secured
a number of fine attractions. Class
work along many lines will be in
the hands of competent and ex-
perienced instructors. Music, Ply
steal Culture, Photography, Art in
its various departments including
Wood Carving, Elocution, Kinder
garten including Normal Glass for
teachers, Young People Glass,
Sunday School Normal Class, AS

position and Minister'S Institute are
some of the departments.

York City, and Miss Gertrude
Smith, of Delaware, Ohio, will be
the soloists of the occasion. Prof.
w. S. Weeden, one of the most
experienced chorus directors in this
country, will have entire charge of
the music, and it is hoped that the
musical training of the Assembly

representation of the Cantata of
Queen Esther.
The attendance last year was
double that of any former year, and
still larger crowds are expected
during the season of 1891. Every
day will be crowded with the best
things which money can procure
and genius devise. This uniqpc.
attractive and healthfd1 spot is des-
tined to become to the Mountains
what Ocean Grove is to the Sea
Shore-a great national center of
Christian education.
Recognition Day will be observed
August 18th, and it is expected
that large class will graduate.
All trains on the b & o. Road stop

has just come from the printers
hands.
