MANAGER SHAW IS

Thinks Receipts from Chau-
tauqua This Year Will JUS
tify Building Auditorium.
INCREASED ATTENDANCE
IT IS THOUGHT THAT MORE PEo-
PIE WILL ATTEND THE AZ
FAIR THAN EVER BEFoRE-A
BUILDING OF STEEL.

"A large steel auditorium in the
Glen, with seating capacity of from
$500 to 5000 persons is promised for
Richmond people," said James H.
Shaw, manager of the Richmond
Chautauqua yesterday, 'if the Chau-
tauqua this year is patronized as it
has been formerly and there Is ev-
cry reason that there will be a large
increase in the attendance. Accord
ing to law, the proceeds of the Chau-
tauqua must be turned over to the
Park Commissioners at the end of
each session and with this money.
when 1t has reached a sufficient fund.
the auditorium will be built. and
thereafter. the large tents will be
done away with"
Ever since Mr.. Shaw has had
charge of the Richmond Chautauqua
he has advocated the building of an
auditorium similar to those which
are publicly owned in other cities.
There Is need for such building
there during the spring, summer and
fall. The money which is cleared an
nually will be retained until enough
is in the hands of the park board to
build an auditorium, and IL the cost
of the proposed building about $4,000
is not raised within the next two
years, 1t will be built and paid for by
future Chautauquas, or by subscrip-
ton.

Was Badly Injured.

Phillip Whitacre of near Webster
had a trying experience with valu-

the animal is in a bad condition. In
some manner not explained the colt,
which had lain down in the stall dur
ing the night, caught it's head under
the manger an the next morning Mr..
Whitacre found it struggling to free
itself. Every effort was made to free
the animal and finally when ordinary
methods faiied another horse was
brought into use. A rope was tied
around the colt and the other animal
was made to pull. In this way the
colt was freed but not until the pull
had nearly disjointed it's neck.
