Musical Number Was Excellent and Speech of Congressman Jackson Pleased Audience The Chautauqua closed Thursday night with the largest audience and the fines program of the session. Throughout the weather had been ideal and many people did not miss a single number duHng the six days. It, is a rare treat in refined entertainment, live discussions of timely topics and a season of enlightenment along' many lines and Rensselaer is to be congratulated upon the magnificent attendance and attention and for the far ‘ that the Chautauqua has been? r gaged for another year. / Thursday’s program consisted pf lectures by Congressman Jackson, of Kansas, who discussed reforms that conferred good, things in the making of Kansas. His lectures are interesting and instructive. The Chicago Grand Opera Company, composed of Esther Peajson, soprano; Editb M. Jones, contralto; James Hamilton, tenor; Harold D. Saurer, baritone; and Rola Anderson, accompanist and reader, proved quite charming and the audience of Thursday night, counting more than a thousand people, applauded tht s’nging of each member of the company, especially that of Mr. Hamilton, the tenor. With the stage neatly set as a woodland scene the company presented sev, eral acts from the opera “Bohemia Girl” in a most charming manner and brought the chautauqpa week to a close with all delighted with the presentation. , It is to be hoped that the same singers are on the program for 1915, when the Chautauqua is again to return. The growth of attendance over last year shows the wider field that is reached and the growth of approval since the session of last year.
