EPwORTH DAY AT CHAUTAUQUA.
The Leaguers Hear an Address and
Concert and Have sports.

Wednesday was Epworth League at
Chautauqua. and the glorious summer
weather attracted between $50 and go sons
and daughters of Wesley during the day
and as many more to the evening con-
cert
At II a. m. DR. ]. p Marlatt, of Taco
ma. delivered an able and practical ad-
dress on the short but significant theme
of Pluck Its etymology confirmed the
definition given as standing for a superior
style of character. The plucky man pro-
poses to conquer Pluck is a most potent
factor in the world. Its value is seen IN
the conflicts of life. The humblest may
die like hero, but cannot starve a gen
tleman. Genius will often fail where
pluck succeeds. England is the child of
English pluck. Industry must be added
to pluck for real success. Early clever
ness or precocity is no test of superiority.
but achievements depend upon manhood.
Whoever will, can. 1t is not luck, but
pluck that wins. Each point was aptly
illustrated by numerous examples from
the lives of eminent men who have left
their impress upon the world
At p. m. there was a large gathering
of visitors at the tennis grounds, where
foot races and games of basket bali occr-
pied the hour The crowd then adjourned

contest Five lusty sons of Neptune en-
tered the lists and after gallant struS

claimed winner, with Gerald FriniS a close
second. An exhibition OF expert swim
ming was given by Miss Violet Abrams,
which won loud applause, No more at
tractive scene of sea bathing was ever
photographed than that of yesterday.
The concert In the evening, under the
direction of Prof. Harlan Cozine, OF Ia
coma, was In point of artistic merit the
finest of the season. The large audito-
rum was filed with Epworth Leaguers
from Seattle and Tacoma, making a bril-
liant and appreciative audience. The

Mr. Hector went 20 the natatoriuEn

tuition, and very naturally caused consid-
cradle excitement among the y. Nj. c. A..
members.
