have their own tents, seats, and pre

the local committee, the place for
holding the entertainments.

some of the leading features that can
be found in the best chautauquas

high class offering of this kind.
The Chautauqua has been found to
be a very pleasing feature of the
summer entertainment program in
this city, and the fact that it is the
biggest form of entertainment for the
money has permitted almost every
one in the city to enjoy the high
class attractions that have appeared
here in the last few years. The var
ied form of entertainment pleases
