=New York= (Johnstown).—A meeting for the reorganization of Johnstown C.
L. S. C. was held September 26, 1883. The names of fifteen new members
were enrolled; so we launch our little craft of twenty-two members, with
a prospect of taking an occasional recruit as we journey on. We have
decided to meet every alternate week. At our next meeting, October 10,
we read an outline on Greek History, Vol. ii., Part vii., a paper on
American literature, and selections from THE CHAUTAUQUAN.

=Pennsylvania= (Erie).—The officers and members of the Erie local circle
of the C. L. S. C. presented a very elaborate program at its opening
session Monday evening, October 8, at the Y. M. C. A. Hall in this city.
The hall was densely crowded, and the interest steadily increased to
the close. The organization was completed, and its roll bids fair, this
season, to be seventy-five strong.

=Delaware= (Wilmington).—Through the zealous efforts of the pastor
of Asbury M. E. Church, the Asbury local circle was organized during
September last. It has about thirty members. Among the members is one
graduate of the class of ’83. Considerable interest in the course has
been aroused through the city, and there are more persons to join.

=District of Columbia= (Washington).—A meeting of the Banneker Circle
was held September 17 for reorganization and general talk concerning
the work for 1883-84. Quite a large number of our members of last year
attended, and from the number of applicants for admission, it seems
that we will be compelled to abandon our idea of meeting from house to
house of the several members and meet at the church. It is exceedingly
gratifying to note the continued interest in the work. Our meetings are
held every Monday night. The pastor of one of the churches in another
section of our city, attended our last meeting, in order that he might
learn enough about the C. L. S. C. to organize a circle among many of his
members, who seem anxious to join. We spent many pleasant and instructive
evenings last year over our work, and hope to realize as much benefit
from the studies of this year. Knowing of the benefits of the C. L. S. C.
we are always glad to help others to join. One of our members has been
influenced, through last year’s work, to attend college.

=Ohio= (Cincinnati).—The reception to the Class of 1883, of Cincinnati
and vicinity, took place on Friday evening, September 28. The spacious
parlors where the reunion was held were fragrant with flowers. A
beautiful piece of crayon work—“Welcome, 1883,” with C. L. S. C.
monogram—prepared by the superintendent of penmanship of Cincinnati
public schools, together with a fine portrait of Dr. Vincent, held
conspicuous places. The following was the program:
Piano solo—Miss Clara Looker.
