YIN. u. A. Star Course.
The Y. M. @. A. last year provided
the pleasure seekers of Manchester
with an all round star course of music,
lectures and entertainments of tho
higher order. They did this at money
outlay of one hundred dollars more
than had ever been expended on the
course in any one year before and that
their efforts were appreciated was
evidenced by the fact that the Y. NJ.
q. A. course earned its own way last
year for the first time in its history.
This year Secretary Champion and his
associates have spent one hundred
dollars more than was spent last year,
thus obtaining numbers that appear In
all the leading Y. NJ G. A. and Chau.
tauqua courses in the United States.
There Is no reason why Delaware Co.
with its finely educated citizens should
not have the best and Mr.. Champion
decided wisely In choosing the course
which we print below. However on &C.
count of the added expense of the en-
tertainments, it has been found neces-
sary to slightly increase the price of
tickets. Course tickets, guaranteeing
admission only, will sell for $3.50 to
members of the association and Ladies'
auxiliary. To such members, reserve
seat tickets for the season will be fifty
cents extra, OF $500 in all. Non-mem-
bers of the Association or Auxiliary
may obtain reserve seat season tickets
for one dollar extra, or 50. in all,
The following program will serve to
prove the worth of the course.
VI The Boston Ladies' Symphony or
chestra will be here October 18th. The
Orchestra appeared here last year and
