The orchestra was moved into the pi,

living statuary. revolving wheel being
worked by improvised and hidden ma
chinery and colored lights being thrown
upon the pictures forme by the athletes

A handsome Knights Of Pythias jewel
was presented Professor Larimore by his
young friends Of the Chautauqua and
Rev. Homer T. Wilson made the pre-

Then the youngsters pelted their teach

been great Chautauqua favorite and
his work has accomplished wonders for
the children on the grounds, who devel
oped no little ability in the leaping line
and show marked physical improvement.
The board of directors of the Chau
tauqua met last evening and discussed
the season now closing. 1t was the
sentiment of the gentlemen that the
third session of the Chautauqua has
been more successful than either of the
other two. the experience of past years
being valuable capital from which to
draw. The board adopted a resolution
asking all creditors of the Chautauqua
to present their bills Immediately for
settlement. The auditing committee
will be on the grounds tomorrow and it
is desired TO close up the accounts with

Chautauqua has ever been refused pay.

favor of high class talent and first class
music. An enlargement of facilities for
tn. pymnastic classes and a special ef-
