THE KENTUCK CHATEAU
QUA-JUNE 28 TO JULY s.

held at It's OLD nome at Woodland
Park, Lexington, June % to July s,
both dates inclusive.
The loyalty of the people of Ken
lucky to this splendid educational
en- terpIise through all the years of
it's history has been exceedingly
gratifying. and the large guarantee
which they quickly and generously
made to perpetuate it was beau
tiful expression of interest. 1t is
hardly possible that an institution
with such high aims, capable of
accomplishing so much of real good
for both young and old, should be
permitted to pass out of existence.
The city of Lexington has gener-
ously offered the park for the an
nual session of the Chautauqua.
and it will be put in first class con-
dftion for the meeting.
The program, fully up to the high
standard Of past years. has been
prepared by DR.. w. l.. Davidson,
the Superintendent of Instruction,
who, during the last ten years, has
so endeared himself to the patrons
of the Chautauqua. His large Chau-
tauqua experience and his wide
acquaintance with platform celeb
rites the country over, gives him
rare opportunity to get the best in
every line.
The program of the present year
will be superior in many respects
to anything which has been re-
Gently offered. 1t is certain to in
sure very. large attedance and
awaken unbOunded enthusiasm.

matte effect, and he is great sue
cess.
DR.. Thomas +. Green,
The Episcopalian, has made him
self easily one of the first lecturers
on the American platform. His

this year than any man on the plat

lecturer, will be heard with delight.

actress. whose lecture on Behind
