The career Of Mrs. Martha 5. GiClow,
the clever Southern woman who has
charmed drawing room audiences IN Eng
land and America, has aroused a guud
deal of interest. She has the charm Of
the old South and presents the lols lore
and the pleasing traditions of this South
ern regime in u most encouraging man
ner. She extends her sway to Chautau-
/ qua during the coming summer. The
| large Southern constituency will feel tha;
the old South is chamiGgly represented.
Scuatoi Z. W. FairhanSs Of Indiana
will speak upon the SpauiSh-Amel lean

portant part in the recreation that many
will enjoy at Chautauqua during the
coming summer, the beautiful rides well
| repaying the trouble Of bringing wheels
from distant points. The club runs in
auguratcd by the Chautauqua Bicycle
club in past seasons have attracted many
riders and added to the enjoyment to be
derived from riding hy oneself One Of
the most delightful rides in Western New
York is that afforded by the route which
takes the whcelmcn from Chautauqua
down the lake TO the old rope ferry at
Bemus Point, distant about five miles,
and thence down the other side OF the
lake over cinder bicycle path which
stretches along the shore 10 jamestown.

Joseph jefferson promises to give
Chautauquans a rare treat with his lee
ture upon the drama. His charm Of
manner and sincere belief in the uplift-
ing influences Of his art attract every
one to him. Chautauqua is indeed for
tunate in having a visitor who is so much
in demand and yet who can accept so
few invitations.
The spirit Of unifcation is pcrvading
everywhere at Chautauqua, and the plan
is to concentrate all of the instruction for
children under two or three heads. The
vacation classes which have been given

under the head of the Boys and Girls
clubs. Through these organizations in.
struction will be given in manual train
ing, nature study, American history, mu-
sic, etc. This will give the children op-
portunity to secure class work in these
necessary branches, and at the same
ime they viii derive the benefit and
pleasure Of belonging to the juvenile or
kanizatiugs. Also in the elementary
classes children who have Outgrown the
kindergarten are cared for until suiii-
cient age to join the clubs. In this way
instruction is offered for all ages up to
| the pedagogical courses in the college
proper.
