DR.. Davidson is superintendent
of the Chautauqua. Among the
attractions is the Schumann quar-

near Oakland, is the leading tenor.
The quartette made its first

made great hit. Mr.. Johns
brought down the house with tre-

will be at Mountain Lake Park next
August.
Supt. Rudisill is dong some good
work in advertising the Park. He
is circulating printed matter and
talking up the Park. Anumber OF
visitors at the Park are here. a
beautiful Album filled with pictures
of Mountain Lake Park lies on the
hotel parlor table, and is greatly
enjoyed by the guests.
