CHAUTAUQUA BEACH, Md.
August %, 1890
The regular Chautauqua program for
this season closed here last Monday, the
Rev. j. A. Weishaar. pastor of the German
Lutheran Church Of Annapolis, delivering
the farewell lecture. His subject was
Historic Annapolis
A very pleasing feature Of the last few
days OF the program was the reciting Of
the Monnett sisters Of Ohio. They were
here three days, en- route to friends In
Baltimore. and preceded and followed Dr.
Mclean Friday evening. and DIR. Baus-
man. Saturday, in his lecture on Hash"
Sunday, preceding and following both SER
mons. which were also delivered by Dr.
Bausman, the Monnett sisters gave sacred
selections.
1t Is understood the regular excursion
season at this place will be extended to
September 10.
The success OF the new Chautauqua AS
sembly has been really remarkable. Old
Bay Ridge has been completely trans
formed into a moral. intellectual and re-
ligious community. The Chautauaua pro-
gram In the Auditorium lasted little over
four weeks, from the middle OF July to the
10Th of August. The audiences were never
very large. but always very appreciative
The program itself, 1t is believed, has
never been surpassed, either from a re-
Hgious, educational or entertainment point
OF view, on any ChautauQua platform
This Is the consensus of opinion of those
here who have been participants and audi
tors at other assemblies.
Among those who have preached and lee
tured are Rev. Lucien Clark DID, Rev F.
d. Power. DID,. Of Washington: Rev. A. G.
kynett. DID,, Rev. w. w. Mckinney, DID,

DID,, Of the Baltimore conference NJ a.
Church; Rev. DR.. c. w. Barnes. Rev. Heber
u; ketcham Of Ohio and George Buckler Of
Washington.

was under the direction of Mr. George
Buckier, who before entering the ministry
mao nine years experience on the stage
He was at one time stage manager for the
late Thomas w. keene. Mr.. Buckler's
Shakespearean. dramatic and humorous

pal Bard-Avon School Of Expression Of

Chancellor Mclean, the president of the
Chesapeake Chautauqua assembly, gave
fine illustrated lectures, especially those
on the Yosemite" and ITO. Into and out
OF Wonderland" The slides of Dr. Mel, can
gave most excellent pictures upon the large
white screen, but they were made doubtly
interesting and entertaining by the DOCTOR 8
vivid word pictures.
The summer school courses, while not
ontaining very large classes, have been
fairly started and reasonable develop
ment along that line Ii assured The lit
erature for the c. L. g. c. work has been
assiduously distributed by Chancellor Nc
Lean and his assistants. and considerable
number of new members enrolled
