The Mountain Chautauoua.

High In the mountains-equally high in
its aims-is The Mountain Chautauqua.
Twenty eight hundred feet above sea level,
far removed from hay fever, malaria and
mosquitoes, are the grounds of the Assem-
bly,. They include nine hundred acres of
beautiful, timbered land, on the breezy
SUBMITS of the Allegheny mountains and
on the main line of the picturesque B. &
o. R. K. One hundred and twenty-five
beautiful cottages are scattered about the
grounds, occupied by leading people from
East and West. Two commodious and
we'll managed hotels open their ample
doors to travellers seeking rest and refresh
ments. Many cottages are open to board
ers a. reasonable rates. The auditorium
is attractive and admirably suited for the
purposes of its construction. The Assem-
bly, of the present season opens August
4th and closes August 18th. DIR. W. L..
Davidson, the we'll known Chautauqua
worker, has charge of the program and
has already secured number of fine at
fractions. Class work along many lines
will be in the hands of competent and ex-
perienced instructors. Music, physical
culture, photography, art in its various
departments including wood carving, elo-
cution, kindergarten including normal
class for teachers, young peoples class,
Sunday school normal class, astronomy
and microscopy, Bible exposition and min
listers institute are some of the depart
ments.

rlenced sololsts. Mrs. Carrie Maud Pen.
mock, of New York City, and Miss Gertrude
Smith, of Delaware, Ohio, will be the So
loists of the occasion. Prof. w. s. Weed
en-, one of the most experienced chorus
directors in this country. will have entire
charge of the music, aud it is hoped that
the musical training of the Assembly will
eliminate in the magnificent representa-
ton 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 unique, attractive
and healthful spot is destined to become
to the Mountains what Ocean Grove is to
the Sea Shore-s great national centre of
Christian education.
Recognition Day will be observed Au-
gust 18th, and it is expected that large
class will graduate. All trains on the B.
l. o. Road stop at Mountain Lake during
the summer months and unusually low
rates are offered from all points to visitors
who desire to reach this Assembly. A line
dropped to J. A. Erlow, at Mountain Lake
Park, Nd, will bring to you a handsome,
illuminated program of this Assembly for
the coming summer, which has just come
from the printers hands.
