The Chautanqua association owns its
own grounds consisting of over 300 acres,
all Of which is enclosed by fence aud
TO which admission may be had by the
payment Of 40 cents at the main en-
trance, season tickets at reduced rates
being available. The property is OF the
probable value OF $4,000 large
spacious auditorium with a seating ca.
pacity Of 1000 is one of the principal
buildings. The hall OF philosophy,
modelled after tue Greek architecture, is
an interesting and prominent build
ing Practically every residences is
hotel, at any rate accommodations
may be had at nearly any building
The management exacts unusual
rates from all cOncessionaries, and the
consequence is that the consumer pays
for this assessment in the increased
schedule of prices asked by all engaged
in business. Absolute title to real estate
will not be conferred by the manage
ment Only leases for ~ years are
granted to any OF the property. Prices
are high, the lease per lot ranging from
$lQ0 to $l5 o, according TO location
There is this year aud average daily at
tendance of from 100000 to l2,OOO peo-
pie. The Association receives nomi-
nal state appropriation, believe 1t is
$1,000 annually, that is expended in the
education aud summer training Of pros
pective teachers.
In visiting the Chsutauqua Assembly,
il is essential that one retain possession

when il is taken up by the attendant,
As he enters the gate his ticket IL
punched in order to prevent q second
presentation. and the same must be
presented before the individual can pass
out OF the gate, otherwise he lie charged
at the rate of so cents per day from the
date Of the opening Of the Assembly to
and including the date OF application 10
pass out of the grounds. When this
plan was first introduced, 1t wae re-
ceived with popular displeasure, but a
dissatisfied visitor carried the
case b through the courts and
the rules prescribed by the Ohautauqua
management were sustained.
In order to insure q quiet and restful
Sabbath, no boats or trains are permitted
TO stop at Chautauqua ON Sunday a d
no person is allowed to pass on or off
the grounds during the day. In addi-
tion to the educational work carried
on, some attention is given the physical
development Of those desiring such
training, tournament Of athletic and
aquatic sports being held each year.
1t was my good pleasure to spend the
past week at the pleasant rural home
Of fair coed of Cornell University aud
my pleasure in this relation was increased
two fold from the fact that two college
chums OF the young lady spent the same
week at her home, They indeed formed
trio of the joliest, most whole souled
and congenial young women | ever met,
and il they may be considered average
representatives of Cornell, which has an
enrolement ofabout 250O young people,
definite course at that institution. AT
the beginning OF the week | could not
have rowed across the lake II my life de-
pended upon ii, but before the week
had ended, was able. under the en-
gaging instruction Of my fair companions,
who were expert oarsmen, To propel n
boat across the lake without covering an
entirely circuitous course. The popula
tion of the Empire state lie said to con-
sst by fair majority, Of females and !
am sure that condition exists very |
generally along Chautauqua lake where
frequently found myself alone with
half-dozen Of the "enemy."
This section Of the state is productive
OF prodigioua mosquitoes. Actually they
seem 10 grow as large as young kittens
and the savage manner in which they
attraced me, strengthened my belief that
they relish an imported article.
