The array of talent presented in the pro-

Chautauqua assembly,
Everyone who possibly can should at
tend the school if only for day or two.
The Chautauqua meetings are held in
beautiful grove of towering elms, naples
and pines, with dry mountain air, cool
ing spring of mineral water, situated on
the bank of the Saco river a little way
out from the beautiful village of Frye
burg, overlooking a broad expanse of in
teryale. with Chocorua, Kearsarge and
Mt. Washington rising majestically in
front. The sun Setssare magnificent. The
evenings are delightfully."- cool and re-
freshing. The sojourner is greeted at
twilight with the singing of the whip
poorwill. with which the woods abound.
If one wishes to see nature in perfection
and obtain peaceful and refreshing rest
he can go to no better place than to this
attractive spot on the Chautauqua
grounds. Colonel F. E. Boothby, the
popular passenger agent of the Maine
Central railroad, will greatly reduce
fares on all of its branches. Mr.. S. w.

horse railroad, which takes passengers
from the station, past delightful scenery,
to the very door of the great auditorium,
has purchased TWO new cars in order to
accommodate the large number expected

ment will vie with each other for the
comfort and enjoyment of every one.
