SERGEANT CHADWICK SPEAKS

YOUNG ENGLISH OFFICER PLEASED CHAUTAUQUA AUDIENCE LAST NIGHT—-THE FLOYD’S TONIGHT.

An audience that filled the Chautauqu'a tent comfortably last night heard a thrilling story of the war from Sergt. Chadwick, who went with the first Canadian expedition to France. He was a bomlb thrower and took part in many raids and some of the most deadly battles of the war. Out of 33,000 men who went over as he went to Fiance, only about 100 remain in the service. The balance have been killed or injured or have become unable to continue in the first line for some reason. Sergt. Chadwick was in the first gas attack of the Germans when such a thing as a gas mask was unkpown. About 70 out of every 100 of his comrades went down in that awful fight. After doing his part in the army for 18 months he was severely wounded and was sent to England where he remained in the hospital for more than a year. His brother has been a prisoner in Germany for more than two yepts. The concert by the American Glee club last'night was fine. The Glee club has been seriously interrupted several time by the draft and they are compelled to give their concerts with new men part of the time, but they put is over in true form just the same. HARPISTE

Today the program offers some attractive numbers. Mme. Ringsdorf is the chief musical attraction both, afternoon and evening. She is assisted by Miss McAdoo with her big harp. ’ Mrs. Mclntyre gives her lecture on “Keeping Well” this afternoon. This is said to be a very pleasing lecture and one that is full of very important suggestions for all who

are interested in their own welfare. Tonight the Floyd’s will appear in their great program of magic and mind reading. Many surprises are in store for those who attend the chautauqua tonight. “ The Floyd’s come from Boston, where they are members of the Mystic club. Thear home is a popular headquarters for magicians because it is full of clever tricks and strange things. \ of the neighbors call it “The Haunted House” because of the strange sounds and queer things that happen there. THE FLOYDS

Prof. Floyd is a very clever trickster and magician. Some of the best things he does are his own inventions. Mohala, the mind reader, will set the whole city talking. “How does, she do it?” Every one will be asking that question tomorrow. Friday’s program is mostly music. The famous SmithnSpring-Holmes company will be here both afternoon and night. Friday night they will give a full concert. In the afternoon Prof. Maynard Lee Daggy, of Louisania, will lecture on “Foolish Folks.” Ada Ward, of London, is to appear Saturday night. She is the big attraction of the entire week’s prograjn.'
