meet Me at the Chautauqua." This
slogan will become effective tomorrow.
Although the big event opens at ten
o'clock in the morning, the browning
opening feature will not take place I'M
til evening when Governor Walter
Roscoe Stubs of Kansas will introduce
Governor Herbert s. Hadley of Mis-
souri,, who will deliver an address. It is
expected that the evening attraction will
draw a record breaking crowd. Gilbert
A. Eldridge, the impersonator, is a
man who has gained considerable repu-
tation as an entertainer. He will be a
drawing card for the afternoon ses-
sion.
Although the Chautauqua was little
late in being advertised arrangements
are about completed and Indications
point to an unprecedented success in
the history of the Topeka Chautauqua
association. A programme has been
arranged which surpasses anything be-
fore given in Topeka at ChautauQua
assembly. There will be something do
ing all the time, ranging from a pro-
foundry deep discourse on some
weighty topic to the highest form of
amusement for one wishes to be enter
tanned.
Tenting bids fair to being one of the
popular features of the Chautauqua, as
many applications for reservations

it will probably be necessary to provide
from 100 to $50 tents for the coming
event. Garfield park is easily the most
picturesque, natural and restful spot
in the city. The trouble with so many
Of the parks today is that they are
artificial and one is reminded every
where he wanders that he is still with
in the range of the bark of the side
show spieler, and his movements are
limited on account of the numerous
Keep off the grass signs. This is not
the case with the old park out by Sol
der creek.
There is not this difficulty at Garfield
park, and the grounds have never worn
q more pleasant smile of greeting than
at the present time. A number Of i'm
proyements have been made especially
for the Chautauqua, including >the
Strengthening of the creek.
The advance sale of tickets for the
Chautauqua has been heavy and indi-
Gates large attendance.
Tomorrow is Governors Day and the
motto is, States are not great except
as men may make then1.''
