THE CHAUTAUQUA 4
ASSEMBLY. ~
An institution will be opened
for the fourteenth time tomorrow,
on the shores of Devils Lake,
which has given this city a ma
tional reputation. tits not neces-
sary to tell the readers Of the
r-Ocean that we refer to the
North Dakota Chautauqua Asso-
citation. The promoters of this
great enterprise have never fall
tered in their determination to
make the Association one of the
best in it's class, and the steady
development from small begin
ings to its present proportions,
shows that it represents the NOR
al, intellectual and social de-
mands of the people in a most
satisfying manner. It's success
is it's guarantee of universal ac-
ceptability.
A glance over the programs for
the eighteen days and evenings,
shows a wonderfully diversified
plan for the entertainment of the
people. and shows. too, what
versatility Of talent has been Sc
cured that all may be we'll pleas
ed. The program recognizes the
tastes and proclivities of nearly
every representative man and
woman, and no one outside of the
Management knows the careful
study, the wide reading and the
voluminous correspondence re-
quired to fill that program each
year.
In addition to the toll, there
is the large expense attendant
upon supplying the talent which
the Associations high standard
makes difficult to secure. From
one end Of the country to the
other, people of prominence are
canvassea before the program is
filled. Not but that many could
be had and at a moderate renum-
Grafton, but, as we said, the high
standard maintained prohibits
promiscuoHs selection. I,
All the social attractions usual,
ly found at a summer resort,
save and except gambling and
the drinking of intoxicating
liquors, are offered in the best
of form. The beautiful lake
tempts all to the pleasures Of
boating and bathing, ard the
cordlality,s that springs up be.
tween the cottagers is of the
most refreshing quality.
We know Of no better place or
the continent to spend a month
than on the c hautauqua grounds
The older people find there a re
lief from the cares and response
bilities of life. and the younger
ones the pleasures which the ex
uberance Of youth demands. Ane
then too, the opportunity fol
valuable acquaintance to thu
young people should not be over
looked. In fact, one of the MAR
objects which the Association
has in view is to furnish an ia
SEPARATION for each young mar

1t is to be expected that the In
ter-Ocean would urge its reader!
to come and enjoy these grea
opportunities. We do so becaus,
we are interested in opening u,
the avenues of joy, culture AMI
refinement to all. We rejoice
with those who come; we hav,
