THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, 20, 1902. CHAUTAUQUA AT AN END ss57Zss32Ft$ fSSTV, A37XUAL ASSEMBLY CLOSES GLADSTONE PARK. AT Colonel Sobieski Gives Reminli- cenccs of Civil War-Oregon City Wins at Baseball. GLADSTONE PARK, July 19. The moot successful Chautauqua Assembly ever held In th5a state came to a close here this evening, and a large crowd -was on the grounds to witness the last programme, which was an exceptionally fine one. In the morning, from S to 1L the classes met and finished their work, and at 11 a programme was given by the pupils ot the Chemawa Indian Training School, which was very Interesting, being wit nessed by a large number of the iriends of the school. The following Is the programme that was given: Marsh "Idealizers" Chemawa Indian Band Piano "solo "En Route" (Sidney Smith) Lottie Lane Recitation a) "Mixed Receipt" (b) "Her Name" Ethel Parrish Piano solo "Flower Piece" (Schumann) Gertrude Brewer "A Legend of the Fire".. Vina Wood worth Bass solo Charles Cutter Address Aast. Supt. W. P. Campbell Chinese characterlstique "Fan Tan"... Chemawa Indian Band At 2 o'clock tho Cecelian Quartet, or Willamette University, opened the after noon exercises by singing "Jack and Gill," responding to a hearty encore -with "A Swifs Love Song." Colonel SoblesUTs Reminiscences. Colonel John Sobleskl was then Intro duced and gave another of his delightful lectures. Colonel Sobleski told of his entering the Army in 1855, when he was but 12 years of age. Franklin Pierce was then Presi dent, and Jefferson Davis Secretary ot War. General Winfleld Scott commanded the Army, which at that time consisted of 9003 men all told. He told of his first campaign, the celebrated expedition across the plains under Albert Sydney Johnston in 1857, when Brigham Young rebelled against the United States. He told of the many campaigns against the Indians, re lating many of his experiences while on the plains. At the outbreak of the Civil War his battery was called to Washington to as sist at the Inauguration of President Lin coln. The speaker told of the many great bat tles he went through while he was with the Army of the Potomac. Colonel So bleski gave vivid descriptions of the bat tle between the Monitor and the Merri mac, the charge of the Irish brigade at the battle of Fredericksburg, the charge of the Tenth Pennsylvania under Colonel Kenney at the battle of Chancellorsvllle, and Lee'o surrender In 1S65. "Thus the great conflict ended. The mistake of our fathers had been atoned for. In the Constitutional convention of'lTSS, Gover nor Morris said, 'We have met here for the purpose of launching a free govern ment. Let us do our work so wisely that there shall be no trouble for our children in the future. Let us begin by providing for the abolishment of human slavery. If we fail In this, the fabric that we seek to erect will tumble down over the ears of our descendants.' The advice was un heeded, and when the earthquake oc curred in 1SG1, a chasm opened sufficiently wide to permit 500,000 of the noblest and bravest of our country to be engulfed. Let us -hope that the statesmen of the future will act wiser and that our country never again shall be scourged by a civil war." At the close of the lecture Colonel Soble skl was heartily applauded, and crowds gathered around the platform to shake hands with the distinguished speaker. Oregon City Wins Baseball. At 3:30 an exhibition game of baseball was played between the Oregon City team and the Chemawa nine, Oregon City win ning by a score of 12 to 8. Until the fifth Inning the Chemawa boys were In the lead, but in the sixth they went up in the air and lost the game. In the ninth the Indians made a great attempt to overcome Oregon City's lead of seven runs, and suc ceeded in making three after two men wore out. Their fireworks were soon over with, and the game ended with the score 12 to S in Oregon City's favor. Evening Programme. In the evening Miss Minnie Hamlll gave another of her delightful readings. The first number was "The Bugle Song," given in an artistic manner. Miss Hamlll then " gave "The" Tones of the Bells," which was received with great applause by the large audience.

Mrs. .Walter Reed, con tralto; William Belcher, tenor; Dom Zan, bass. Edgar Coursen was the accompan ist.
