CHAUTAUQUA DATE AUGUST 12 TOll Plans Should Now Be Made to Dispose of Season Tikets. * . • k; ’ The date for the coming of the Lincoln Chautauqua System to Syracuse has now been definitely announced as from August 12th to 17th, inclusive. Along with this- announcement came equally important information. Last summer Syracuse people signed cards that guaranteed the sale sale of SVO tickets to be sold at $1.50. The Lincoln Chautauqua System now states that Syracuse is one of the few towns who are securing their entertainment for this price, the majority of places pay $2.00. In consideration of this fact they assert that only the 500 tickets that have been subscribed can be sold for $1.50, and that additional tickets will cost $2.00. We are sure that there are qiore than 500 people going to attend this entertainment and it might be a good thing to engage your ticket at once from one of the guarantors and avoid paying the additional 50c. Notice to Committee. All signers of the Chautauqua contract will meet at the office of Butt & Xanders on the evening of June 30th at 7:30. This is important. Come. Otis C. Butt, Sec’y.
