Long Rows OF Tables Loaded With Sub
stsstiaIs for the elmer M.n."
In Sedgwick Music hall last night the
| Wichita Chautauqua Alumni association
held its third annual banquet. Alumni
and guests numbered about one hundred
and fifteen persons, who enjoyed the
Inner man" substantials OF the long
! pretty tables and filled the air with
MUSIC to spare and complimentary
jokes"
| The hall and banquet tables were
nicely Sc. out with flowers and every
arrangement seemed successfully plan
FED TO promote the pleasure Of the COM
pany.
After the refreshments an Interesting
| program Of toasts and music lasted till
| nearly half past eleven. Mrs. Roland
] P. Murdock, presiding, introduced the
| speakers.
Rev. DR.. Fleming spoke instruc.ively
Of the regious influence Of Chautauqua
| notices.
ALTER Ego" by Miss Nina Caldwell
| was in the form Of story and left the
| conviction that Pope suited correctly
when ne sad: The proper study Of
| mankind is man"
| Mrs. ]. ". Knapp showed a very
pleasant appreciativeness in talking Of
Our Guests" in response 10 which Mr..
]. A. Allison gave an encouraging ex-
PLANTATION of the high regard outsiders
l.
Mr.. Charles H. Brooks suggested that
Mr.. Allison's response was all and more
| than he himself would attempt in the
bruised regency Of his bicycle ex-
perience. 81 have just bought a new
Wheel" he said, land made my first at
tempt at riding this afternoon. I per-
formed from Second street TO the court
house, and IT seemed that there must
have been 500 people watching me. 1t
was the most enthusiastic audience I
ever performed before. I have noticed
that one Of our city papers said the
other day that the asphalt on North
Main was too soft for this climate. I
want to enter right here wounded and
solemn denial Of that statement. 1t is
the hardest substance known to man,
there ISN'T single soft spot in North
Main from Second street to the jail, for
I tried every one Of them"
Mrs. Charles G. COINS Interpretation
OF the Marble Dream" was unusually
interesting.
Mrs. H. Imboden, Mrs. c. H. Brooks,
Mrs. L. G. Whittier and Miss Caldwell
sang DR.. Wilkinson's poem to the Chau-
rauqua class Of 81.
The Evolution Of Tom by Miss Anna
Mulvey was a humorous discussion Of
the small boy with some local turns on
the grown UP boys of Wichita. If It
had had no other merit Mrs. R. NJ
Piatt's address 1.-The Cnautauqua As
sembly" would have been enjoyable for
the Giction.
Mrs. W. J. Babb was absent.
II am glad I am Roman" said Miss
Minnie Stuckey n discussing the ac-
complishments Of the higher Chautau-
qua work.
Mrs. Imboden closed the entertain
ment by singing in a simple and pretty
way "Auld Lang Syne'' in the chorus OF
which the whole company sang heartily

ing year. Mrs. Piatt was elected dele
gate to the National ChautauQua assem-
