The Richmond chautauqua opened
this afternoon with grand concert
by Whitney Brothers male quartet.
This is the best singing quartet in
America and will, no doubt, prove
strong attraction each time it appears
on the program. The quartet was fol
lowed by Mrs. Whitney, one of the
most captivating readers in selections
from The Lion and the Mouse"
Tonight at 1880 the Whitney Broth
ers will appear again and Mrs. Whit
ney will continue her readings. At s
O'Clock Frank Dixon will lecture on
The Man Against the Mass" Mr..
Dixon is an orator of the first magni-
tude and a man with a message. His
address will be especially interesting
to the laboring man.
An important change in the pro-
gram has been made. Governor Folk
of Missouri will speak Sunday even
ing at O'Clock, instead of Sunday
afternoon at o'clock as has been pre-
viously announced.
Governor Folk found it absolutely
necessary to remain in his home state
Saturday evening, where he is to
make an address, and it will be i'm
possible for him to arrive in Rich
mond in time for the afternoon ses-
sions. Secretary Goodwin of the Y.
| M. c. A, who is actively connected
with the management of the chautau-
qua this year, has been in telegraphic
communication with Missouris chief
executive for some time in the hope
/ that the governor could be induced to
/ forsake his Missouri engagement in
order to appear here at the time ad.

sible to do.
Mrs. Leonora Lake. the great Cath.
olic lecturer who was to have appear
ed at the evening session will fill the
hour in the afternoon which was tc
have been filled by Folk. The COVER
nor will begin speaking at seven
O'Clock in the evening and will occupy
the time assigned to Mrs. Lake. with
one half hour additional. The early
hour of the address will make it DOS
sible for those people coming to the
chautauqua from the country to hear
him and at the same time return te
their homes before a late hour. Par
ticular interest is being taken in the
address of Folk and it is estimated
that thousands of people will heai
him.
