Glass journalism i a peculiar thing.
\ paper that once secures following of
national character ha- business that
if managed properly is as good AS
national bank, good deal better in
these days of financial eruptiOns. Frank
Dunton established II turf paper in
Chicago years ago. and by dint of per-
sonal work and energy secured large
circulation. Tie met with competition.
and but for the fact that it is impossible
to kill of a good subscription list the
paper would have gone to the wall long
ago. Last winter F. j. Berry. of the
stock yards. bought the paper and as
sumed editorial control, still continuing
the former name of Dunton's Spirit of
the Turf. which was as good as IA trade
mark He made really first class paper
and il met with cordial reception at
the hands of horsemen and breeders. 1t
is therefore in the nature of Il surprise
that the current issue brings notice that
the paper. with its subscription list and
good will, has become the property of
Clark's Horse Review. The success of
the latter paper is something that smacks
of the miraculous, for it started, it might
almost be said, as a penny advertising
sheet, and today ranks with the most
elaborate and preteutlOus trade journals
in the country. This is the result of
four years of unceasing work. Palmer
l.. Clark, the president of the company,
is not a new man in the work by any
means, for he was most successful with
the Daily Times for the five years that
he took care of the advertising for that
paper. While Clark is full of schemes,
his co-wOrker, John C. Bauer, is the one
who manages and looks after the details
of the business. The Review heretofore
was at the front among turf papers. BY
this consolidation it increases its list
and gains additional prestige Chicago

in the interest of the breeding business

of the construction department of the yard
in the absence Of the naval constructor.
In 1864 Mr.. HichbOrn was offered the no

declined the honor because the salary was
less than That of his position as master
shipwright In 1869, however, he accepted
the appointment and i'm 1870 was ordered to

he spent five Yeas full of hard work, at the

unusually hard competitive examination.
From Portsmouth he went to League is

and excepting seven the plans of all the
new vessels have been prepared under his

In 1884 Mr.. IIichborn was sent to Europe
by the secretary of the navy for special

is now the height of the season, and one
may take his choice of 20 intellectual pur-
suits, from the study of Biblical eXegesis
and the Pentateuch in Hebrew to the latest
screed of lbsen, or of as many amusements,
among them boating, rowing, riding prom
enading in the lovely groves and listening
to a great variety of music from the old
country chorus to that of the finest bands.
All the amusements, however, have an
intellectual cast, for the Chautauqua is in
truth congress of intellects OF course
there has long been Lake Chautauqua as
a place, and for many years previous to
1873 its shores were the favorite places for
all kinds of pleasure seekers, but the Chau-
tauqua of today is both place and a state
of being, a condition, a life, a pursuit, and,
one might add, an intellectual atmosphere.
Bishop (as he now is) John II. Vincent and
Lewis Miller of Akron, O., on the I'd Of
August, 1873, landed at Fair Point and be-
gan at once to lay the foundations of what
is now the Chautauqua The first organi-
cation WAS that of the Chautauqua Sunday
school assembly. Soon after this became
the Sunday school teachers assembly. Then
followed in rapid succession the summer
Bible class college If liberal arts, teachers
retreat, school of sacred literature, school
of music and many more.
And all this time the place lost none of
its charms as "A popular resort On the con-

even growth, and today they constitute the
chief attraction to many thousands But
