Wednesday at the Chautauqua.


Wednesday at the Chautauqua.
The program at the Chautauqua
grounds on Wednesday was of ex-
cepuonal interest and there was a
large attendance at all Of the sessions.
The domestic science demonstrations
by Miss Rena Vawter were greatly
enjoyed, especially by the ladies, and
some valuable hints given in relation
to the art OF cooking. Miss Vawter
is a pleasing, successful demonstrator
In her chosen work and the series OF
talks she is scheduled to make at the
assembly tent cannot fail to enlist the
interest OF the housewives Of Canon
City.
The Bible hour, which began at 1o:-
IS a. m. under the direction OF DR..
R T. Campbell. president Of Amity
College, was a delightful one to all.
1t was devoted to an address on The
Period OF the Judges" and was both
entertaining and helpful to students
OF the scriptures DR.. Campbell closed
his course OF lectures this morning
with q talk on The Period OF the
Kings.' DR.. Campbell's addresses
have been an inspiration to all who
have heard them and II is a matter
OF regret that they could not have
been continued until the close of the
ChautauQua season.
The Minneapolis Quartette. which
made its appearance here for the first
time Wednesday morning. made a de-
cided hit with its singing and estab-
lished for itself a popularity which
no succeeding organization of the
kind can usurp. The Quartette is
composed OF young ladies, the MEM
bers of which render to perfection
the parts assigned to them. The quar-
| tette has an apparently inexhaustible
repertoire of popular songs. the num-
bers OF which are interpreted in such
| a way as to win for II a generous and
deserved applause. Its members res
ponded to the encores of the audience
SO cheerfully and gracefully as to
awaken general admiration.
DIR. F. L. Loveland had made him
self n favorite with Chautauquans by
his two preceding lectures. and II was
, logical sequence that many of his
admirers should be present Wednes-
day afternoon to hear his discourse
on The Wandering Jew" Few more
eloquent, entertaining and instructive
speakers have ever addressed a Canon
City audience upon an intellectual
topic than DR.. Loveland and the rec
objection OF his splendid discourses
will linger in the minds OF those who
heard him long after the Royal Gorge

Features of the evening program
we're Harry F. Huntington in the role
OF an Interpreter of American humor.
the Minneapolis Quartette and the
motion pictures of the American Vita
graph company OF New York City.
Mr.. Huntington Is a delightful enter
tainer and his readings were keenly
enjoyed by everybody that had the
good fortune to hear him. He is a
master o fthe art impersonation and
OF the most versatile talent as reader
and entertainer. In the particular
role in which he appeared Wednesday
night he is a star OF the FIRST magni-
tude. Mr.. Huntington may always be
sure OF an enthusiastic, appreciative
and sympathetic audience In Canon
City. particularly with the little folks,
| with whom he Is the favorite par ex-
cellence.
The motion pictures. which have
been shown at the ChautauQua audi
torium during the last three or four
evenings, have been given much praise
and commendation by reason OF their
excellence, but on no occasion were
they received with more enthusiasm
and delight than was the case We'd
nesday evening. The realism OF the
pictures themselves. coupled with the
great variety Of subjects shown, have
been a source of surprise and graft
cation. A motion picture Of the Den
yer & Rio Grande railroad track
through the Royal Gorge was shown
Wednesday night, and very naturally
evoked tremendous applause. These
motion pictures will be shown again
tonight. but with new subjects. which
will close that feature Of the Chau-
tauqua program.
