The Chautauqua meetings are largely
attended. The humorous entertainment,
Around the Stove" by Hoyt l.. Con-
ary Of Boston, was enjoyed by all. The
way he changes his face by brush
up or down of his hair, the adjusting
of an eyeglass or spectacles, was side
splitting. Some say the lecture, "On
a Bicycle Made for One, in Ireland"
by Rev. Thomas McClary. was even
more entertaining on Friday night.
On Saturday large crowds enjoyed
the field day excursion to Moss Beach,
and on that evening Haydn's "Oratorio
of Creation" was given by the San
Jose Oratorio Society of seventy five
voices, assisted by delegates from San
Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento, Stock
ton, Stanford University, Visalia and
Pacific Grove, with 125 voices in
the chorus. S. Howe Henley was
great surprise to every one. The lead
ing parts were grandly rendered. The
gentlemen never sang in better voice,
and were thoroughly appreciated. Mrs.
McCauly was charming as Eve, ana
the chorus made no mistakes and were
highly complimented by the leader,
Jones Hamilton Howe. The accompan-
lists, Miss Ada May Churchill (pianiste),
and Miss Stella w. Odell (organiste),
were very fine and a great help by
their very fine time and artistic rem
dering of their parts. Both East and
West Chapels, as well as Assembly

Rev. P S. Henderson, D. D., Of Chi
cago spoke on Fools" He made us
all see ourselves as others see US. and
kept his large audience in good humor
all the time. His second lecture on
"Grumblers'' was very fine. He says
heaven has no grumblers, but hell is
full of them" He gave the recipes to
help grumblers.
Keep your liver and digestion in a
good condition, and sleep, sleep, sleep,
and you won't grumble so much.
