amus&ment business , iu; Chicago is
likely to be j'.'done to death,1' There
are now: permanently located in the
city no less than seven .first class the

panoramas and four museums, to say
nothing of the skating rinks, con

opera house, an entirely fire-pVppn
building, . capable or seating 2,200
people, has just been opened to the
public. Keene is there doing "Ham
let." i- The many novel features of the
house and the high character of the
performances are sure to draw. An
excellent comedy company a :Mcs
Vicker's have completed a very suc
cessful series of representations of
"The School for Scandal," and are
now presenting u-oiasmitn s "ne
Stoops to Conquer," to large and ad-.
miring audiences. "A Moral Crime"
is still the great attraction at thje Co
lumbia. This drama is the produc.
tion of two ' Chicago gentlemen,
JMessrs. Barron, and Bates. . This fact
lends additional interest to the piece
in this city. To say that it has had a
.very successful "run would be but to
repeat what must be sai4 of almost
every attraction brought out at the
Columbia. . ' j .
Summer is the season of camp,
meetings as well as of horse races.
The campmeeting fever reaches Chi
cago in June and remains until Ucto
ber, Nearly every part or the suburbs
has- its annual canipmeeting. Com-,
paratively few of these meetings are
ever heard of outside of their imme
diate neighborhoods. " Most of the
campmeetings are'of Methodist origin,
but in all the larger camps saints and
sipners of - e vejy creed and practice
congregate with . thm greatest har-.
mony. Some come to pray, others
to flirt. And it is a common remark
among the ungodly that there are
more hearts mashed than mended in
these revival summer resorts. This
is probably an untruth'. Lake Bluff
has been called the Chautauqua of
the West. It is rather a resort for
scholars and teachers than a - camp
meeting, and yet -the religious ele
ment is strongly: predominant at
take Bluff; Desplaines is distinctly
a campmeeting resort, and is a good
example of Chicago campmeetings in
general. Here all the restraint and
formality of worship in city churches
is'cast entirely aside. ' The worship"
