The stockholders directed that the
Board of Directors Immediately pur-
chase suitable lot and start At once to
build an auditorium.
Application for . charter has been
made.
Work on the building will be rushed
with all possible speed, ss'it must Be
ready to lease to the Chautauqus Ass0-
citation In about six weeks.
The directors were instructed to make
best possible terms as to lease with
the Chautauqua authorities.
The committee appointed for the pur-
pose have selected the Hueston lot, next
to the old Academy, about two blocks
from Main street. The choice IL gener.
ally regarded as good one, being easily
accessible to the centre OF town. The
price asked, we believe, Is somewhere
around $4,000.
Many neat little speeches were made.
Mr.. Clark, on taking the chair, ex-
pressed his appreciation of the honor;
said our climate was fine but we needed
something besides climate to entertain
our visitors. He asked the earnest sup
port of all, and said no sacrifice was to
be considered if we were to make the
Chautauqua great success.
