Chautauqua Mgr. Delights Children.

Under the direction of George S. Gass, the advance Lincoln Chautauqua man, about two hundred and ■fifty children enjoyed a most delightful Fourth at Milroy Park.' All kinds of games were played and many races were run and the tug of war was participated in by many. Elegant silk flags were presented to the winners; also red, white and blue buttons and souvenirs. Five balloons were sent up at the close and the children who succeeded in bringing in the bottom of these were each presented with a season ticket. It was a most enjoyable Fourth for the children and the evening was one that will long be Remembered by the children who took part in the play. It is the purpose of the Lincoln Chautauqua to make their stay in our city as instructive and as delightful as it is possible for it to be.
