Great Year at Chautauqua. 



So far as can be judged at this date 

 the original Chautauqua on Chautauqua 

 lake will have a great season in 1897. 

 Concessions in rates have been made by 

 railways which will enable many to at- 

 tend who have been hitherto debarred 

 by the expense. Early in July and 

 early in August excursions will he run 

 from Chicago and New York, with a 

 round trip rate of $14 in the former 

 case and $10 in the latter, with pro rata 

 rates from intermediate points, all tick- 

 ets good for 30 days. Stop-overs at 

 Chautauqua will be allowed on the re- 

 turn half of tickets to the National 

 Educational association meeting at Mil- 

 waukee in Jcly, and on tickets to the 

 Epworth League convention at Toronto 

 early in July, which tickets will be is- 

 sued at the rate of one fare for the 

 round trip, are good for 30 days and 

 can be obtained at all points in the 

 United States and by any persons desir- 

 ing to use them for visiting Chautau- 

 qua. One feature of the rate granted 

 for the cheap 30-day excursions from 

 New York and Chicago to Chautauqua 

 that is new, is the pro rata rates that 

 will 1-e made from intermediate points. 

 This will enable people all along the 

 trunk lines between New York and 

 Chautauqua, and Chicago and Chautau- 

 qua, to get to the assembly grounds for 



a stay of 30 days at exceedingly low 

 rates. These excursions will be run, 

 one from New York and one from 

 Chicago, early in July and one from 

 each place early in August. 



Free State Summer School. 

 In 1896, under the auspices of the 

 stale of New York, a free summer in- 

 stitute for New York state teachers 

 was held at Chautauqua. Over 250 

 availed themselves of this course of 

 instruction. An appropriation was 

 made by the state legislature; and 

 through arrangement with the Chau- 

 tauqua management, all New York 

 state teachers who attended these 

 courses were exempt from the gate fee 

 at Chautauqua during the three weeks' 

 session of the school. A similar ap- 

 propriation and arrangement has beea 

 made for the summer of 1897. 



The advantages which Chautauqua 

 ofi'ers as a summer resort for health, 

 pleasure, instruction and entertainment 

 are everywhere recognized and with 

 cheap rates and the 30-day privilege 

 the attendance during the season of '97 

 is confidently expected to far surpass 

 all previous records.
