LONG BEACH, July IA feature
of Capt. Jack Crawford's second Chau-
tauqua lecture at 3 o'clock this after
noon In the auditorium was the first
reading of a poem which the poet
scout composed two days ago while
looking upon the grandeurs of the
Grand canyon Of the Colorado. The
name of the poem Is Gods Ante
Room"
Capt Crawford said he had recently
promised the publishers of a monthly
magazine whatever his visit to the
canyon inspired him to write. The
poem was a touching tribute of praise
to the Creator, written in the gem
uine frontiersman's vocabulary, and
breather a cowboys sober thoughts.
Crawford's lecture included stirring
incidents of his interesting career.
Several others of his poems were read.
BY special request he also gave the
beautiful story of Pony Bill" In the
course of his lecture he said he con-
sidered Roosevelt and Tom Lawson the
greatest men of the day.
Children Invited
Crawford had especially invited
children to hear this address and there
We're many in the large audience. He
made unique but forceful pleas for
temperance and advised against read
ing the dime novel and against smok-
ing.
In the audience which faced Craw-
ford last night was DR.. G.. A. Sewall
of Los Angeles, who was with the old
scout on the frontier thirty years ago
and tended his gunshot wounds
The lecture of this evening was by
Mrs. G. Adams-Fisher. Her subject
was quaint Old Nuremburg." The
lecture was very interesting and was
illustrated with more than sixty views
Among the views of the city with the
round tower We're pictures of the beau
tiful environs of the town, of the car
nival frolics of the guilds and process
sions of Eppilon and of many beauti-
full church interiors.
The class work today was even more
largely attended than on yesterday. 1t
would be difficult to say what class
seems the most popular.
Prof. j. II. Hoose's address. tracing
the growth of the power of the speaker
of the house, was apt and interesting.
The first demonstration work in
child study was done this afternoon by
Prof. George Leslie and Miss Jessie
Allen. A good supply of laboratory
appliances are at hand and thorough
examinations are made of children
whose development Is either abnormal
or delayed.
