thautauqua Wins
A lively time is expected in the sen
ate when the resolution endorsing Boul-
de- as the place for holding the celebra
tion Of the quarto centennial celebration
is brought before that body, says the
Denver News. The action of the house
yesterday afternoon was unexpected by
representatives of Ell Paso county and
the defea. LETT sore spot which. it was
said last evening, will manifest itself
when the resolution comes up in the
more s.. late senate.
Wires 10 Colorado Springs were keI I
hot last night and a wra;hy delegation
is expected from that city today to assist
in stopping the tidal wave that seems to
be moving toward the Northern Colorado
city. The claim Of the Boulder people
is that they have the only auditorium in
the state capable Of accommodating the
audience that will assemble on August
1t is an immense building with acoustic
qualities that have proven thoroughly
satisfactory, and was erected four years
ago. 1t stands on the mss, above the
state university at the edge Of the mount
aims. commanding a view declared ty
travellers to be one OF the gtandest in
Amenca.
If the celebration is held at Boulder
there is to be no expense to the state and
it will be the greatest demonstration
Northern Colorado has ever attempted
The petition of the Boulder citiz ms was
introduced quietly into the Legislature a
week or ten days ago and was not called
up until yesterday.
1t sets forth that the auditorium is the
largest structure in the state. suitable for
holding great as.emblages. having q
seating capacity Of 5000 persons, thai
no expense will be incurred to the state
as the entire program can be carried ou,
under auspices of a special committee
app ointed by the legislature acting in
con junction with the people OF Nor,hern
Colorado and Chautauqua management
1t concludes:
This Chautauqaa. founded for the
spread OF learning and the cultivation ol
friendly sentiments toward all mankind
annually attracts visitors from moie
than twenty states of the Union, and has
become national in Its reputation. 1t has
now reached the fourth year of its exis;
ence. a celebration held under such
auspices cannot fail to be magnifcen,
success. BY favonng the Chsutauqua
in granting this petition you will reflect
credit upon an organic ttion which aims
to attract to Colorado thousands of Wis
itors from every part of the continen
and whose friends have expended more
than 100000 in advertising the une lul
ed Advantages of this state as the gr nd
est summer resort of the globe
it is signed by the members OF the
board of county commissioners of Bcul.
der county. members Of the city courcil
and leading citzens.
Members from El Paso county intro
duced the original suggestion in the
shape Of joint resolutions calling for OBJ
servance OF quarto centennial celebra
ton, but failed 10 mention any given
place where it would be held. In this
regard Boulder stole a march.
Messrs Manion and -Plat replied to
Mr. Sprague, Of Colorado Springs. who
characterized the Boulder effort as a
side show 10 the Chautauqua and rap
ped the members knuckles hard. They
went at the matter with spirit and won
the victory. Senator Ward said this
morning that he felt positive be could
get The resolution through the senate. Ii
