If you can’t go for the season, don’t fail to be present on _Tuesday
evening, August 7_, when the tenth Assembly opens. Then the Chinese
lanterns will be lighted, cottages illuminated, a peal of bells will
ring, cannon be fired, flags will wave, vespers (the old songs) will be
sung, orators of other years on this sod and new ones from many States
and Canada will speak. The lake will glow with beauty, as the steamers
illuminated with many colored lights come and go with their crowds of
people, and the fireworks glare on the shore, and shooting into the air
redden the dome of the sky and reflect the glory of their colors in the
waters below. At Chautauqua every day is a great day.

The cost of living is not high. A room can be rented in a cottage, for
the season, for $12.00; it will be furnished with bed, chairs, etc.; at
such a price the occupant must take care of it herself. Table-boarding
may be secured for the season at $5.00 per week. A better room,
furnished with more conveniences, costs more. A party of a dozen
people, more or less, coming from a distance, may rent a cottage for
$125.00 or $150.00 (or a larger party a larger cottage for more money),
and then board themselves. By bringing their own servant and taking a
lady or gentleman through _free_—if they will do the buying and preside
over the house—board is reduced to the minimum price. If, however,
individuals or families prefer to go to a regular boarding-house, that
is, a cottage kept by a private party (and _some of these_ are well
kept, and make pleasant homes), they may secure room and boarding in
the same cottage for $8.00, $9.00 and $10.00 per week, and perhaps
less. The Hotel Athenæum is a magnificent institution—with dining-rooms
facing the lake, and a capacity for seating five to six hundred people
at one time. It will accommodate from four to five hundred guests. The
price per day and week is higher, but the fare is the best and worth
all that is asked. Write to Mr. A. K. Warren, secretary, Chautauqua,
Chautauqua County, N. Y., for information about rooms, cottages,
boarding, or anything you desire to know about living at Chautauqua,
and your questions will be answered promptly and satisfactorily.
