An Automobile Ride For Children This Evening.

An automobile parade is to be staged in Rensselaer this evening and the children are to be occupants of the cars. The parade is to start at 6:30 o’clock this evening and the children are asked to be present at the school house yards if they care to participate in the parade. This is to be the opening feature of the Chautauqua which will hold forth in Rensselaer for the next sixdays. Many cars will be needed to carry the children and all car owners are urged to donate their cars for the half hour that the parade will consume. Anyone caring to donate the services of their car should notify D. D. Dean. Following the parade there will be a play festival held in the court house yard under the direction of Miss Brannon, junior supervisor. The festival will be similar to the one held here last year. There will be a ticket hunt also, and the lucky finders will be allowed free access to the Chautauqua tent during the entire stay here. Volley and push ball will also be features of the festival. There will also be drills and games for the girls. Hats, caps and banners will be provided for the children and the noise and yell of the youngsters is expected to call especial attention to the opening of the chautauqua.
