ATTENDANCE INCREASES.

People Evidently Appreciate the Chau
tauqus Entertainments.
Another big audience gathered in the
auditorium last night TO hear what was.
perhaps. the best program yet offered.
For variety Of amusement offered, last
nights program is certainly to be com
mended. and the audience seemed to be
fully satisfied. The nylphone solo by
Professor ShaeHer brought him we'll
deserved encore. Mrs Groom of Waco.
is singer Of no little merit, and it is
believed that she will become a favorite
among Chautauqua goers She certainly
should have had an encore last night,
though she appeared slightly nervous on
the platform. People have by this time
come to expect to see DR.. Wilson turn
himself into bulletin board at this
point on the program. He does this
little matter of routine in 50 pleasant
way, that one does not appreciate the
fact that he is merely hearing long
list Of announcements, which he either
knows already or in which he is not
concerned.
Prof. Ashenden made his initial ap
pearance last night. Those who know
him say that he did not do himself jus.
tice, and this. indeed. was to be expect.
ed when his unfamiliari,y with the hall
and audience is considered. His work,
however. was very enjoyable ard he was
recalled. For an encore he gave "Rcse.
mary" one OF the most beautiful songs
ever written. Prof. Larimore and one OF
his assistants gave short sketch in cos
tune. The professor has named the
piece Silence and Fun" The name is
very appropriate and the spectators
were amused for fiaeen minutes by some
very interesting feats Of tumoling. The
African Boy choir made their las. ap
pearance and sustained the good i'm.
preston they had already made. Prof.
Gerhard an his mandolin also added to
the evenings music. AS a whole, 1t is
believed that the ordinary audience en-
joys a program Of this kind fully as
much, if no. more, than where whole
evening is given up to some one genius
