Chautauqua Manager Entertains the Children.

A very laige number of the children of the city gathered at the Chau.tauqua headquarters in Milroy park Thursday evening about 6 o'clock and indulged in games under the supervision of Chautauqua Manager George S. Gass. About 7 o’clock the children were formed into a parade and headed by the Rensselaer band they marched through the streets of the city with flying banners. On returning to the park there were two ticket hunting contests, one for the boys and another for the girls. The Chautauqua people are greatly interested in the young people and are making that one of the leading features of the assembly. Rufus E. King, of New York state, lectured this afternoon and will also lecture tonight. Another number tonight will be a popular musical entertainment by the Cravens Orchestra. The program toiiight starts at" 7:30 p. m. The lecture by King is to begin at 8:30 p. m.
