Chautauqua Continues to Delight Patrons.

The culminating event of the six days of the Lincoln Chautauqua was pronounced by those present to be the finest of the entire excellent program. In spite of most adverse weather conditions a large audience filled the auditorium and the enthusiasm Calm As the Night, Bohm, with cello; was evidence of the pleasure afforded by the various artists. Miss Allen, the soprano, was unable to give her part of the program on account of a severe cold, but the other three members of the company, Albert Lindquest and Cornelius Van Vliet and Miss Midge gave extra numbers. Each of these artists possesses ability that is seldom if ever heard in cities of this size and ticket wlders admitted that this program alone was worth the price of the season ticket. The following numbers made up the program: Cornelius Van Vliet, Hist—Elegie, Schrave Sande; Lavo He, Popper. Encores, Melody in F, Rubenstein, and Moment Musical, Schubert. Traumerei, Schuman,, Liebesfread, Kreisler. Encore, To a Wild Rose, McDowell. Albert Lindquest, Tenor —Hower Rain, Schneider; Land of the SkyBlue Water, Cadman; Life and Death, Coleridge Taylor. Encores, La Donna ’e Mobile, Rigoletto; Where My Caravan Has Rested, I ohr. Little Mary Cassidy, Old Irish; Tommy Lad, Margetson. Encore, Calm As th eNight, Bohm, with cello; Humoresque, Dvorak. The lecture on “The Needs of the Hour,” by Judge D. Alden, of Boston, was highly entertianing and held the attention of an audience that was very tired to the very last. It is with pleasure that we are able to announce that nearly enough signatures have been secured to assure the Chautauqua for next year.
