Night Has Been Splendid Success
IN the Program offered and In the
Details Of Management.
Marred by only one disastrous con.
ilict with the elements, Offering in the
cool grove of the mill park a retreat
from the burning sun of the past week
and presenting program of such UNI
firm merit that 1t has clearly
shown itself worthy of being per-
manent institution of the city, the
Norfolk chautauqua is fast drawing
to close, to give way during the
coming week to the Norfolk race meet
and the ever present delights of the
base ball season.
Two Big Days.
Two big days remain, two of the
biggest days on the chautauqua pro-
gram, Sunday and Monday.
Sunday is prominently a chautau-
qua day. Norfolk churches showed
an appreciation of this when many
dismissed the Sunday afternoon and
evening services. Sunday Is day of
rest and reflection, and as day for
healthy and refreshing things can of
course be spent in no better way than
at a chautauqua grounds where an
appropriate program is offered. In
every chautauqua the land over Sun
day is the day of record breaking at
tendances.
And Monday is the last day of the
| chautauqua, day when Norfolk must
say good by" to the big auditorium
tent, the little chautauqua city and
the chautauqua program.
The Sunday Program.
The afternoon speaking on Sunday
is DR.. Elliott A. Boyl, the orator His
| subject will be THE Seen and the
Unseen" 1t is said to be lecture of
| common sense, of oratory, of schol-
arship, of wit and humor. DR.. Boyl
will begin to speak at p. m.
Sunday evening Rev. Edwin Booth
will give an illustrated lecture on "a
| Trip Round the World With a Special
Stop at Palestine to Review the Life
of Christ" 1t will be an especially

Preston Ogden will sing during the
evening.
Both the address of the afternoon
and the Sunday evening lecture will
be preceded by prelude by the Colon
ial Saxophone quartet. The saxa-
pleasing musical numbers possible.
Miss Victoria Lynn, the reader, is
known through her former connection
with the Temple quartet
The Monday Program.
1t has been long since Norfolk has
heard a professional band and for
this reason the Monday afternoon con-
cert by Norton's band and orchestra
is sure to be enjoyed and equally sure
to be attended by large crowd This
afternoon meeting will also be the oc-
casion of some pretty drills by the
children who have been working usder
Miss Killing.
Norton's band in the evening will
also give a short concert before the
address of Hon. Walter M. Chandler
of New York City on THE Trial of
Jesus from a lawyers Standpoint"
an address worthy of closing a chau,
tauqua.
The Attendance.
From the viewpoint of the merits of
the program the chautauqua attend
ance has been disappointing From
the viewpoint of the experienced chau-
tauqua man, who has found out that
chautauqua attendance is a matter
of growth and that the first chautau-
qua but paves the way for later finan-
cial success, the attendance is not so
disappointing.
The attendance has shown a
healthy growth as the result of the
fact that every number of the chau-
tauOua has bepn D1paSinp
