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. The next number on the pro
gramme was "The Daisy Chain," a song
cycle by Liza Lehmann. The following
noted singers took part: Mrs. Albert Shel
don, soprano;. Mrs. .Walter Reed, con
tralto; William Belcher, tenor; Dom Zan,
bass. Edgar Coursen was the accompan
ist. It proved to be one of the finest en
tertainments given at Chautauqua this
year, and was thoroughly enjoyed by those
who heard it.
The Willamette Valley Chautauqua
Alumni Society held a meeting this af
ternoon and elected the following officers
for the ensuing year: Mrs. A. B. Man
ley, president; Mrs. J. M. Lauey vice
president; Mrs. Emma Galloway, secre
tary, and Mrs. J. P. Apperson. treasurer.
Much enthusiasm was shown at the meet
ing, and several new names were added
to the roll.
