Argus Leader, 8: Hon. II. II. Keith
returned yesterday from a few days
spent at the Lake Madison Chautauqua.
He says the program is the best this year
ever offered by the C~hautauqua manage
ment. This is appreciated by the public
who are turning out in better numbers.
Still Mr. Keith says there should be
twice as many people on the grounds AS
are there. Very few are there from this
city.
Up to Saturday night the receipts OF
the Chautauqua assembly had been very
gratifying and yesterday 3I tickets
were sold. The special program worked
up for to-day Vas expected to have
brought in an attendance that would
have put the association beyond fear OF
any deficit this year, but the heavy rains
OF the day, especially during the fore
noon has been "a knock. out blow to these
hopes.
