CHAUTAUQUA.

Yesterday morning opened bright and clear
over beautiful Chautauqua beach. At o'clock
Professor Munson's chorus class of half hun
dred met for its daily practice. This is one Of
the marked features OF the assembly, and at the
closing entertainment Professor Munson's quail
tiles a teacher of music will be fully tested.
The lecture at II o'clock in the morning was by
MI Melvin G.. Winstock of Seattle. The lecture
was entitled "a shakespearian Jew" Mr..
Winstock gave to his audience another picture
OF the much hated Shyiock, in THE Merchant
OF Venice." He pictured the libertine Bsssanio,
who would marry his Jessica for the wealth she
would b-ing him, as he told his friend and ben
efactor, Antonio in order that he could pay his
debts OF honor. He pictured the merchant of
Venice, WHO would take the gold OF the despised
Jew and AZ the same tint heap curses and
vilery upon him. Even shylock's despieabe
character was shorn of some of its vileness the
lecturere showed the reasons that led to the
character OF the Jew.
Mr.. Winstock is q journalist Jew, and his
Christian audience appreciated the able quail
ties OF the lecturer as he unfolded the "Mer-
chant of Venice" to them in this unusual light,
and it is gratifying 10 know that Jew aud Gen
tile. Protestant and Catholic, can meet ON
common educational platform In this great
Chausauqna work.
In the afternoon another journalist of Seattle,
Mr.. Lee Fairchild, appeared for the first time on
q Chautauaua platform. Mr. Fsirehiid's
humorous style is well known. and hs sus-
taiued his reputation well in his attempt TO de-
pict true humor.
