meeting Wednesday night and the pro-
gram for the coming event was arrang-
mer of Springfield, Ohio was present
and closed lease for the settees which
were purchased last year by the local
association. They will be used only
during the latter part of this month
by the Springfield chautauqua. The
coming event will be the first for that
city
The chautauqua committee has pre-
pared the following announcement to
the public.
This is the fifth program the Rich
mond chautauqua offers to the public,
and we honestly believe it is the best.
To the old stand-bys it seems scarcely
possible that it has been five years
since the chautauqua was first started
There is great satisfaction. however
for there have been five full years of
ample success. We also believe the
chautauqua has been an institution
which has rendered the public a valu-
able service. We are sorry that so
strong an institution cannot be better
housed than in a tent, but the condi-
tions surrounding the public park are
such as to prevent the realization of a
permanent home, although all the net
proceeds go to the park. There were
in the neighborhood of $50 tents on
the ground last year and from what
can be learned now, there is reason to
believe that there will be larger
number this year. This makes fine
white city of about fifteen hundred
people. We found that the increase of
campers, largely increased our cost for
the care of the grounds and we were
practically doing business at a loss
along this line. The board, therefore,
voted to charge fifty cents per tent for
ground rent to cover this special ex-
pense. At other chautauquas as high
as three dollars are charged for ground
rent. Last year we ran over Labor
day, but found it not success and so
have omitted 1t. Plenty of the Glen
will be fenced in to make abundant
room for all campers.
1.-The boys and girls club was such a
success with Miss Pearl Carpenter last
year, that we have continued both Miss
Carpenter and the club. and hope the
children will avail themselves of this
fine opportunity. Miss Carpenter has
improved in her work and will make
the children's chautauqua even more
popular than it was last year. Parents
are invited to attend and inspect her
work.
