stay while in their midst.
1--WE express on. deepest graft
tude for the hospitality and cour-

town of Lafayette for taking us
strangers into their homes and EN-
tertaining us so highly.
aWe also owe our many thanks
to the managers and citizens, who
gave for our benefit the delightful
reception at the Crescent News,
which was heartily enjoyed by
every one.
"We are under many obligations
to DR.. Moss, Hon. Chas. D. Caffery,
and Supt. L. J. Alleman, for their
patient and faithful services in our
behalf, and especially TO the latter
for his able management.
ave tender our thanks to the
sontag Military Band for the
splendid music furnised by them
which added much to the success
and pleasure of the Chautauqua.
We feel that we doubly appreciate
their faithful efforts which were
truly heroic during such extremely
warm weather, and Miss Mudd,
Mr.. Hayden and the Glee Club,
especially do we render thanks for
the gracious manner in which they
united their efforts for our enjoy
ment.
aWe offer many thanks to the
members of the Twentieth Century

sented to us. and for the interest
that was taken by each and every
member to make our stay pleasant.
