choose to call themselves The Della
ware County Chautauqua Assembly,
has secured the use of Thrill Park,
has employed one of Manchester
best citizens as local secretary and
expects to enter upon the canvas for
season tickets Immediately. Mr.
Sutton does not ask for any guaran-
tee Of SO many tickets except as
business men see fit to support
chautauqua by subscribing for a
number of tickets with the expecta-
ton of, in turn, selling them to their
