Assembly Information

In its prorgramme, privileges and public exercises. the intention of the present management is to make the assembly a refined summer resort, which will combine the educational features with elevating entertainment and clean amuesement. to accomplish these ends, a summer school has been established with forenoon classes in theology, history, literature, public speaking and physical culture. Other departments will be added as the assembly grows. The afternoon and evening sessions are of a less serious and more popular nature. The best platform talent is engaged. Lectured, readers, sinders and musical organizations with occasional novelties usual to such assemblies are daily features.

Tthe lake, grove and grounds are unequaled by any assembly in this or adjoining states. The programme is equal to any. The management expects and plans to make Maxinkuckee assembly the peer of any similar institution to be found anywhere.

The annual programme draws patrons from regions far beyond this locality and the fame of the assembly is spreading over a every- increasing territory. the accompanying cuts give some idea of the beauty of the assembly grounds. The present general manager is H. g. Hill, no. 52, Irrvington avenue, Indianapolis, Ind. Mr. Hill is an expereinced Chautauqua manager and under his control the assembly is making great strides in prosieruty and popularity.

In quanity and quality the program and excerises for the term of 1905 was far in advance of that of any previous years in the history of the Assembly. It is not altogether probable that it will ever be exceeded. The best oratorical talent in the Christian church appeared on the platform. No better musical talent was to be had inthe Lyceum a nnouncemnets of the country. A detailed notice of the program will not be attempeted here. A few of the specialties will be described.

Maxinkuckee

The poets sing of the Emerald Isle,
With waters entrancingly fair;
And Switzerland boasts of her Gem of the Alps.
Resplendent with beauty so rare,
Though over and over the world I go,
There's beauty on every hand I know,
And countless joys to be found, but Oh!
'Tis Fair Maxinkuckee for me.

Refrain, - Oh! Let us go boating
Go merrily floating
Over the crystal waves we'll glide
and from care by free.
Oh! Here is a trasure.
Here's joy without measure,
I am so lucky and Fair Maxinkuckee's the place for me.

The miser may joy in the gliter of gold,
The golfer may dote on his tee,
The chauffeur may boast of the speed of the wind, -
All these have their pleasures I see.
But, give me a boat in the flowing breeze,
Or grant me the shade of the spreading trees,
Or, catching fish with delightful case
On Fair Maxinkuckee for me.

All Cleveland may boast of her big millionaires,
And Boston her culture and beans,
And Washington talk of her beautiful streets,
New York her society queens,
But, aye, 'tis the beauty so grandly rare,
And beautiful lillies beyond compare,
Of Fair Maxinkuckee for me.
