MOUNTAIN CAAUTAUQUA
OPENED TUESDAY NIGHT
With An Excellent and Varied Program
OF the Highest Class.
ATTENDANCE WAS VERY LARGE
For the First Night of The Season
What The People Are To Expect
The Succeeding Nights During
The 1Onth OF August.

The Twenty-Sixth Annual Session of
the Mountain Chautauqua at Mountain
Lake Park, which has brought wealth
and fame, intellectual and spiritual up
lift to the thousands Of people patroniz-
ing it in the years gone by, opened on
Tuesday evening with a high-class and
varied program of music, readings and
moving pictures.
In addition to the published program
DR.. W. L. Davidson. the Superintend-
ent made an address to the audience,
which was larger than for many years
past on the opening night He outlined
the great amount Of labor necessary to
secure the lecturers and others who are
to appear on the platform and said that
an amount approaching the sum of
S., 600 had been expended in making the
program for this year, all done upon
faith that the people would respond
with their patronage and thus reimburse
the management and the Association.
DIR. Davidson was followed in his re-
marks by DR.. Chas. ". Baldwin, Presi-
deut of the Association. who uttered
many warm words of welcome nd pre-
dicted that the year 1905 would be a
record breaker. DR.. Davis, superin-
tendent of the Association and also
Dean of the Summer Schools, appealed
for the support of the people in main
tanning the various schools already or
ganized at the Park.
With the people Of Garrett county,
who are largely benefited by the Chau-
tauqua, seconding the admirable en-
deavor made by the management in
select ny and arranging the program
for this season so as to provide not only
an attractive and popular means of en-
tertainment, but also a high class and
int lectual one, such as would appeal to
Chautauqua frequenters and lead to the
support due the effort, Garrett county
could have within her borders the best
Chautauqua in the country.
The entertainment Tuesday night was
highly enjoyed by those present.
The prominent features on the pro
gram for the week are as follows Fri.
day the Annual Lutheran Reunion, with
a lecture at HOO a. m. by Rev. A. Writ

FEW SEEK HONOR
TO OPPOSE PEARRE
Republicans Likely to Have Things
Easy In Sixth District.

ROCKVILLE, Aug, 3-The Demo-
cratic nomination in the Sixth Con-
gressional district to oppose Col. Geo.
A. Pearre seems to be going a-begging.
With the nominating convention but
/ three weeks off, there are no ayowed
aspira- IS for the honor, and it begins
to look as if some difficulty will be ex-
perlenced in inducing anyone to make
the race. The party leaders in this
county are perfectly at sea as to what
the nominating convention will 90.
They say this county viii present no
candidate to the convention. and
stands ready to support any good man.
1t was at he request Of Gilmore s.
HamiH, Garrett county lawyer, that
it was decided to hold the convention
at Oakland, and the leaders see in this
hope that a Garrett county man
may be induced to make the fight. H.
Dorsey Etchison, of Frederick, and
Clerk Young of the Circuit Court for
Allegany county are also considered
possibilities.
The present indications are that no
matter whom the Democrats name,
Colonel Pearre will have the easiest
fight of his career.
