CHAUTAUQUA STARTS NEXT SATURDAY

Third Visit of Lincoln Chautauqua Looked Forward To With Pleasant Anticipation. The third annual visit of the Lincoln Chautauqua will begin next Saturday, Sept. 4th, and continue for six days. A splendid array of talent will visit our city and Milroy Park will be the social center during their visit. In addition to the talent provided for the grown-ups there will be daily sessions for the juniors. This will be a sort of playground event and will be in charge of Miss Co'rinne Landgraf, who will have a local assistant. The hours set for the junior program are from 8 to 11 each morning, but since school begins next Monday, it is probable that other arrangements will have to be made and it is probable that each daily session will be from 3 to 5 in the afternoon, but an announcement will be made about this later. Miss Landgraf has written to those who are interested in the junior work here asking that all the children of the town attend a meeting to be held Friday afternoon of this week from 4:30 to 6 o'clock. Their parents are asked to attend with them and are assured that they will find the features provided for child entertainment and instruction of great interest. One feature of the Friday program will be a ticket search. Tickets are to be hidden and the children are to look for them and the successful hunters vfill be given season tickets for the junior work. The price of the junior season tickets is $1 and it is expected to enroll a large number of boys and girls. All should take advantage of the free meeting Friday from 4:30 to 6. On Saturday the formal opening occurs. The Robley male quartette will sing and Dr. Elmer L. Williams will deliver his lecture “Jawbone vs. Backbone.” At night there will be a concert by the male quartette and another lecture from Dr. Williams, whose subject will be “Who Shall Rule, Country or City?” Those who have season tickets can go to all sessions, but those who do not will have to pay admissions ranging from 25 to 50 cents per session. On Sunday the program,will be made in keeping with the day and vesper services will be held in the evening. Rensselaer seems to be in thorough readiness for the chautauqua and doubtless it will be accorded as large an attendance as in former years, while the junior feature is sure to attract a great deal of interest.
