CHAUTAUQUA ENDS; A SUCCESS FROM

EVERY STANDPOINT Original Contract Between the Management and Col. Jas. Shaw Has Expired After Running for Five Years. A EXT YEAR'S EVENT IS FULLY ASSURED. Shaw Is Confident the Greater Chautauqua Is Entirely PossibleAddresses by Judge Brown and Mrs. Maybrick. "With the singing of "God Be with fYbu Till We Meet Again," by the audience and benediction pronounced by the Rev. J. O. Campbell, Richmond's fifth, annual Chautauqua closed Sunday night, having been a success from every standpoint. With, the close of Ihls year's Chautauqua, ended the original contract which the Chautauqua association made with Col. James Shaw. Although the Richmond men who have been behind the Chautauqua deserve the heartiest commendation, a word of praise must, be given here to Manager Shaw. It was he, who five years ago, lasj. April, came to Richmond and convinced the Commercial club that such b. project would not only be profitable financially, but would be of educational and social value to the city. True, Col. Shaw has been well paid for his efforts, but had it not been for his hard work and splendid management, it is very doubtful if Richmond s Chautauqua would today be on the sound foundation it now Is. It is safe to say that the large majority of Chautauqua goers sincerely hope that Col. Shaw will be affiliated with Richmond's Chautauqua Jn the .future, whether it be held in Glen Miller or in the Hawkins' addition. That Richmond will have a Chautauqua next year is certain. Already 000 season tickets have been sold. The sale was made Sunday afternoon following a talk by Manager Shaw. In his address Manager Shaw thanked the people and the Chautauqua association for the courteous treatment that had been accorded him. He said that it remained for the future to tell whether he would be connected with the Rich mond Chautauqua after this year. He hoped that he would be. A Greater Chautauqua. Manager Shaw presented a vision of a greater chautauqua in the Hawkins' addition with summer cottages, boating bathing and athletic games. He set forth the good the city would derive from such an institution through various conventions being held here. . He thought $25,000 would complete the project and that this amount could be nearly raised from the sale of cottage cites. Five years ago, Mr. Shaw said he had a vision of what the people now see in concrete form. He declared his vision of a greater chautauqua is as well defined as was his former vision. The 'large audience listened intently to Man ager Shaw's words and ' applauded them. The number of season tickets sold Bunday afternoon compares favorably with the number of tickets sold on the closing day last year. The tickets will be good for the big chautauqua should it materialize. EQUALLED ANY YEAR. Attendance May Have Been Greater . Than On Any Preceding The attendance at this year's chautauqua was as large, if not larger than Jn any preceding year. Yesterday was the biggest day and barring the Sunday that Governor Hanly spoke here in 1905, was the banner attendance of the ntire five years. It is hard to fix the attendance accurately day by day. Counting in the teachers' season tickeas, there was a total of 1,500 regular chautauqua attendants. In addition to these thero were the single admissions at 25 cents for adults and 15 cents for children. The gate receipts from single admissions by days follow: Friday, August 23 $ 27.70 Saturday. August 24 52.15 Sunday; August 25 577.45 Monday, August 26, 174.65 Tuesday, August 27, S5.40 Wednesday, August 2S, ...... 205.S5 Thursday, August 20 302.20 Friday, August SO, 159.05 Saturday. August 31 154.05 Bunday, September 1, 805.33 Grand total $2.243.S" Figuring on the basis that all single admissions were adults, the attendance outside the season tickets totals S.973 for the ten days, and figuring that at least 1.300 of the season tickets were used dally, the attendance reaches 21.I75. which is a most conservative estimate. - JUDGE BROWN PLEASED.

EDITOR FREYE SPOKE IN A SENSIBLE WAY. Confined Himself to the Broafi And Fundamental ' Basis on Which Union "Labor Was Conceived and Has Lived. Nearly all of Richmond's shons and stores closed today in observance of Labor Day but the rain Interfered materially with the festivities planned for the afternoon. The parade of labor unions, which left Fifth and Main streets shortly after one o'clock," was not of great length, being but little over a square long. It was headed by the Musicians Union band, following which came the speaker and local union officials In an open hack. A flag bearer and representatives of the twelve labor unions completed the parade which marched to Glen Miller park. On account of the bad weather the attendance at Jackson Park and Heallvlew probably was small. Takes a Sensible View. Few labor speakers in Richmond took a more sensible view of the labor situation or presented his material In a better way than did Editor Freye of the Iron Molders' Journal, who spoke to the members of the labor unions of Richmond in the auditorium tent at the chautauqua grounds. Editor, Freye did not go Into detail in discussing the subject "Organized Labor," he confining himself to the broad fundamentals on which union labor was conceived and has lived. Th KDPnkpr'x nrlilrrnH In nnrt. win as follows: "The foundation of the; republic rests on the working, man.

"This Is an Industrial age. Employ- j ers ue machinery, experiment with them, and after they have served their usefulness, throw them away. Will the welfare of the nation permit them to use labor in the same way? The trade unions say no. "The trade unions are doing more to Americanize foreigners than any other factor except the public schools, and these only reach the second generation. "The trade union is a practical organization. Every time the union man adopts a policy the result foreeij Itself upon him immediately. Hence! he becomes a practical thinker and J wie awake to his rights as a citizen.)
