Hydraulic canal. which is not very far from the Falls. and got some rocks. Some one said ii vas the Erie canal. but we learned aft.t- wards that it was the Hydraulic canal. We then returned tO the hotel. and. as we had to wait some little time for the rest of the crowd to come down. we each wrote letter. We left the hotel at II o'clock and went to the de pot. We did not have to wait very long until the train.csme. IL was just an hours ride 10 Buffalo. We reached there at I2 o'clock, and had to go to another depot, where we waited one hour. It was o'clock when the train ar rived. We reached Brocton Junction. N. Y., at ; o'clock in the afternoon. We had to wait there until half paet o'clock: The first thing we did was to eat dinner. There were eight who sat at my table. and we had a great deal of fun. When we finished eating our dinner. we bought tickets to Mayyille, small place this side Of Chautauqua. We then waited till train time. The train was on time IL was just an hours ride to Mayville. At Mayyille we took boat on lake Chautauqua and crossed over to Chautauqua. IL took about half hour to cross the lake. We reached Chautauqua at o'clock. Then we went to Bignell cottage and were given our rooms. We then ate supper. certainly en- toying it. After supper we went to the Am- phitheatre to an entertainment. and heard some very fine music and reading. When it closed we went down near the lake and saw some stereoptican views. they were very good indeed. Then we saw an electrical display on the lake. After witnessing this sight for some time we returned to our cottage 10 spend the night.
 Friday morning some of us went down to the lake and picked up few rocks. We did not return to the cottage until breakfast at S o'clock. When we finished eating. some Of us started for walk. While out walking we visited Higgins Memorial hall it was just finished in June. After awhile saw lady whom thought to be Mrs. Foley of Memphis. Tennessee. She was walking very fast. so we were unable to overtake her. She went to the Amphitheatre to choir practice. we went also. l knew It was Mrs Foley as soon as could see her face. We remained here quite awhile. When it was over. went where she was. Of course. she was very much surprised to see me. l then gave her an introduction to my friends. We talked awhile. then went 6own to the boat landing as Gov. Mckinley was coming that day. The boat was about an bazaar. we stayed there few minutes. and then went back down stairs to see if the boat was in sight. It was not. SO Mrs. Foley said she wanted to show us Bishop Vincent's cot tage. We went to see it. after which we walked little further on and came to Sher- woods cottage. From there we went to the Arcade and remained there few minutes. We then returned to our cottage and ate din- ner. After we finished eating we made prepa- rations for leaving ChautauQua. Our boat left at half pasr F o'clock. We reached May vile at o'clock We then took the train and returned tn BroctOn Junction, where we had to wait m hour for our train. From here we started for Valparaiso, Indiana. At o'clock in the evening we reached Cleveland. Ohio. Just before we arrived in Cleveland we saw Gar1elds monument. and sometime before we Te reached the city. we saw hts home: At Cleveland we took supper. having twenty minutes in which to eat. We had lovely supper. We all imagined that we did not have time to eat, SD l don't think any of us ate very much 1 wish we could have spent day in Cleveland. From what we could sec of the place. think it is quite pretty city. We travelled all night and reached Valparaiso Saturday morning abont7 o'clock. think we all returned home feeling as though we had been greatly benefited by this trip and that we would strive to improve every mo- ment of cur lives.
