Chautauqua has a charming hotel, the Hotel Athenæum, one of the most elegant and substantial summer hotels on the continent. Its lovely outlook on the lake, its ample piazzas, spacious halls, parlor and dining room render it equal to any hotel outside of New York City.
Chautauqua provides cottage-boarding at all rates, and persons preferring cheap board to that of the more expensive and elegant Hotel Athenæum can easily find it.
Chautauqua is Chautauqua. The name of the ground is Chautauqua. The landing is Chautauqua. The postoffice is Chautauqua. The express office is Chautauqua. It is not “Point Chautauqua” or “Chautauqua Point,” or “Chautauqua Lake,” but simply Chautauqua, N. Y.
Chautauqua is the children’s paradise. Games, romps, bathing, boating, calisthenics, roller skating under judicious control, bonfires, concerts, stereopticon exhibitions, a splendid museum of oriental curiosities and pictures, a useful “hour-a-day” during the Assembly season (if children wish it) of lessons, story-telling, and songs—all these make Chautauqua a most charming resort for children.
