“Minnehaha,” “Hiawatha,” “Winona,” “Buffalo,” and the “Assembly,” are
among the new names of steamers on Chautauqua Lake.

The large steamers will be provided with stewardesses to look after the
comfort and welfare of lady passengers. This is a new provision and one
that will be highly appreciated.

New families commenced moving to Chautauqua early in June, and every
day scores new arrivals.

The Governor of Tennessee is in lively sympathy with the “Chautauqua
Idea.” He is giving encouragement to the Monteagle Assembly, in the
South, and hopes soon to visit Chautauqua. General Lewis says there
will be a large representation from the South at Chautauqua the present
season. The more the better.

Grocery stores, meat stores, furniture stores, and even a millinery
store, may be found at Chautauqua.

“Tell us which will be the great days at Chautauqua?” This question
comes to us nearly every day. It is hard to answer. Dr. Talmage, Rev.
D. H. Wheeler, LL.D., president of Allegheny College, Bishop Warren,
Dr. Vincent, Joseph Cook, Rev. A. Wheeler, D.D., of Pittsburgh,
presidents of a half-dozen colleges and universities, eminent editors,
great preachers, and splendid musicians from all parts of this country
and Canada will be there. And then C. L. S. C. Commencement Day, which
will be the _golden day_ of ’83 (Saturday, August 18), with an oration
by the Rev. Lyman Abbott, D.D., addresses by Dr. Vincent and Lewis
Miller; concerts by the big choir, great organ, little organs, pianos,
bass viol, cornet; cantatas, solos, duets, choruses, etc.; stereopticon
exhibitions, fireworks by day and fireworks by night, spelling matches,
Greek lights, C. L. S. C. bonfires and bonfires for children, croquet,
lawn tennis, rowing, sailing, excursions on the steamers, receptions
and processions. The best way to get the great days is to bid your
friends who must stay at home good-bye, and go to Chautauqua for the
season.
