LONG BEACH.
Proceedings OF the Chautauqua Circle.
Notes.


LONG BEACH, Feb. 3.-The last meet
ing of the Chautauqua circle. at the
home OF Mr.. and Mrs. l. II. Preston,
was well attended, and as usual, an
evening of pleasure and profit was
socially passed by its members and their
friends who were present.
Several meetings ago the programme
committee decided to enliven the exer-
cises by the introduction Of novelties,
and they have by their efforts thus far
been very successful in doing 80, the
last two meetings being especially fav-
ored in this respect.
At the last meeting roll-calI was
answered by quotations from Bryant,
nearly all the members responding from
memory. Roman history, the first study
on the list, was taken up by the class,
the president of the circle, |. H. Pres
ton, in the absence of Mr.. W. w. Lowe,
acting as instructor.
A vocal solo by Mrs. I. H. Preston was
one of those charming little musical
compositions which the lady knows so
well how to sing.
Economics, the next study, was then
gone into with Mr.. E. A. Healey as
leader. This is the popular study OF the
circle, and under the able leadership Of
Mr.. Healy ia also the most profitable as
it deals altogether with living events.
A vocal solo by Mr.. Frank Cook was
PIANIST on this occasion being Miss
Winnie Lowe.
The Cliff Dwellers, O sketch from per-
al hua~ ion r@f ok hn
worlds fair, by Mrs. E. W. Terry, was
the caves of prehistoric race.
Eminent domain was then defined
and explained by Mr.. Preston. The
circle was very fortunate in its choice OF
an expounder. as this gentleman is well
versed in legal lore, being one of the
best representatives of the Los Angeles
bar.
The critics report as usual teemed
with good points, and the circle broke
up to meet next Tuesday evening at the
residence of Mr.. M. HI. Williams.
The next best thing is the musical
club that some of our amateur musicians
have just organized. We have some
very good musicians down here and we
are glad they have entered into this
musical combine. We can stand lots Of
music.
r. L. Mcknight, Harry Leland and
AL Greening, of Los Angeles, came

the time until Friday morning shooting
ducks.
