MT. LAKE PARK

Of the festival Mountain Lake had one
of the finest programs ever heard in
the Park. Rev. Felix 2obinsin is to
be congratulated upon the beauty and
excellence of the program.
Each time we attend any gathering
held in the amphitheatre our mind
goes back to the old days (old age is
creeping up), and so it was during
the festival. We seemed to be sur
rounded by thin airy souls. Almost we
expected to see the Chattanooga sa-
lutte being given DIR. Wilbur Davidson
at he sat on the platform.
Each section of seats held the mem
cry of those who never missed Chau-
tauque performance. Mr.. Larney Carr
and his family, Mr.. and Mrs. j. A.
Dare, Mrs. Davidson and her boys, Mr..
and Mrs. Harry Clayton and family
and scores of others, most of whom
have passed on.
Then we began to count the old
timers still present, The number was
pitifully small.
We were reminded that DR.. Charles
W. Baldwin, whose name has always
been associated with the Park, had
but a few days previous passed to
that great beyond. And we wondered
if they all really weren't there during
this great music festival. Somehow,
we believe they were.
The Mission School opened Monday
morning. This year promises many
good things to those attending. Some
of the finest educators will be present
during the session. The concert to be
given on Saturday night will feature
two splendid artists-Miss Frances
Miller, harpist, and Miss Emily Miller,
mezzo-soprano. Don't miss this.
Reports have been current that
petty thieving has broken out in the
Park. Clothes hung out to dry have
been purloined, as have many other
things, but the prize theft was a steak
dinner One young housewife stepped
out of her house for a few minutes TO
await guests for dinner. The dinner
nice porterhouse steaks and all that
go with it, was ready for serving. 1t
was served, but to whom she does not
know. The dinner was apparently en-
ioyed since there was no ''left-overs.
