FOUNTAIN PARK CLOSES AFTER SUCCESSFUL ASSEMBLY.

Large Crowd on Closing Day and Fine Program Marks End of 1910 Chautauqua at That Place. After a session lasting two weeks and two days, Fountain Park Assembly was brought, to a close Sunday night, following the rendition of a fine concert by the Hungarian orchestra. A large crowd visited the park during the day, being estimated at about 2,500. Many Rensselaer people were there and unanimously pronounced the Hay a pleasant one. While recent advices have not been received about the financial results, it is safe to say that the association fared very well, as President McCullough said early in the week that the revenue already received was sufficient to pay out for all expenses incurred for the session. Fountain Park has brought and will continue to bring to Jasper county the best talent from all over the United States and as an educational and moral and spiritual association it is deserving the full endorsement of the people, who will be the beneficiaries of it if they will attend. The nert session will probably be in August of 1911.
