Visit to Chautauqua. (By May Rance, Clinton.) Nestled in amongst ,a grove of trees on the shores of a pretty lake, is the summer City of Chautaucput. Across the body of sparkling water can be seen the hills and fields opposite, along whose shores may be discerned several tiny villages. The lake stretches many miles in length, losing itself beyond the graceful curves of the bank, and tempting the admirer to explore. Founded some thirty-nlne years ago by Bishop Vincent, it had then essen- tially a religious purport. There in- .strution was given and received; there inspiration was gaiuectl and there men of like taste met kin minded, and grew through intercourse. The aims were of the highest then, and so on through the years that lofty ideal has been the basis. in growth of Chautauqua of to- day.
