While not as auspic,ous as on former
10 there was nothing discoura9-
10 the attendance at the opening of
The fourth Chautanqua assembly Tnes-
day evening. About 800 we're present
ID the auditorium and d good entertsin.
ment was furnished in Supt. Hager,
President Williamson and the Collins
band. The opening prayer was
by Rev. @. ID. Cleworth, OF Vermiillon,
and Supt. Hager put the audience in
good humor by recounting az effort or
the desire OF the management TO
calloff the strike. President williamson
bis address briefly alluded TO the efiolent
work the management had done in sd.
vertislag the assembly this year, the
economy with which NIL had bean done
and the very fiattering prospectsaof the
most successful assembly yet held, up
10 within two weeks past. But iirst the
droath and more recently the strike
have changed the aspect Of affairs and
the outlook was not 30 bright. He
wished 10 disabuae the public mind OF
tina false impression that had got abroad
IN some places that the association was
In 4 bad way. Though it had not quite
met expenses last year, everything was
in, good condition and the association
stillhad stock TO sell. He assured the
audience that we would have q good a.
semhly this year and thatit would meet
all expenses. The roseats view ofa per.
picking situation taken BY the manage
ment Of the assembly put everyone In
good spirits and the first meeting was .
decided success.
