FOUNTAIN PARK TO HAVE BEST PROGRAM IN ITS HISTORY

Charles Peck, of Remington, was in Rensselaer Monday arranging for advertisement for the doming Chautauqua to be held at Fountain Park, August 10 to 25, inclusive. Three very prominent numbers to be given this year are. Tuesday, August 13. THE INNES BAND. 3:00 p. m. Music festival program by the unrivalled Innes orchestral band of forty-two pieces under the personal direction of Mr. Innes, assisted by James Eller, operatic contralto of national fame. 8:00 p. m. Big concert by the Innes orchestral band, featuring the famous young Russian Violin Virtuoso, David Eisen, and Earnest Pechin the greatest cornetist in the world, as well as Jeanne Eller. This is the biggest musical attraction to be found in the market. This band will have the sweetness of a symphony orchestra as it carries many stringed instruments. , Friday, August 16. 8:15. SMILING PAT O’BRIEN, Lieut. R. F. C. Amerincan hero of a hundred air fights, escaped from a German prison. Absolutely the biggest card we have ever had in Remington. With his thrilling story of air fighting, fall of 8,000 feet, treatment in a German hospital and prison camp, and his marvelous escape back to England after 72 days of fugitive fleeing through Germany, and his interview of unprecedented length with King George. Thursday, August 22. 3:00 p. m. u WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN on fundamentals. Bryan never fails to have a large audience when he comes to Fountain Park, nor to charm them anew by the breadth of his vision and his insight into the fundamentals of life’s problems. The board of directors make the following interesting statement in reference to their program: “We are living in the midst of the world’s greatest struggle, and the duty is incumbent upon us to play our best part. The United States at this critical moment, is called upon to become the saviour of the rights of the race and the common man. This is God’s greatest drive for humanity. President Wilson has issued a call to the chautauqua to be a vital factor in helping win, the war for democracy. The chautauqua workers were called to Washington, and for a week were instructed by the government heads on how best to carry

the message to the people. Our program is therefore constructed on a patriotic plan. The music and en-< tertainment will cheer, hearten and relieve the stress and war speakers will inspire to greater sacrifice, which is real patriotism. The chautauqua will this year render its greatest service.”
