LONG BEACH, July 10.-The first
completely cloudy day that Long Beach
has experienced in a long time greeted
the opening of the twentieth Chautau-
qua today. The exercises opened at 2
o'clock, when the directors of the Chau-
tauqua paraded from the Congrega-
tional church to the Salt Lake sta
ton in automobiles and met the visi-
tors from Los Angeles and other places.
They then escorted them to the old tab
ernacle where, for the last time, the
Chautauqua exercises are to be held
Another year will see the gathering
transferred to the Convention hall on
the beach. The tabernacle has been
greatly enlarged during the past year
and comfortably accommodated the 800
people who assembled for the opening
numbers.
Admittance was free this afternoon,
it being Long Beach day." and the
city having exclusive charge of the
program. The first number was q sell
