The Chautauqua Course Assured tor
Cresco for Next Season.
Tuesday at the Chautauqua was
Kryl Day and was the day OF the
largest attendance, especially at the
evening concert. While the RoSal
Italian Guards Bard made a hit, it re-
NAMED for the Kryl Band to complete
ly captivate and the Chautauqua man.
agement are to be heartily thanked
for sending two such splendid bands to
our town. Kryl himself is a wonderful
cornetist, with the greatest range on
that instrument of any living perform
err, and as bandmaster he has pro-
vided band fundamentally correct
and complete, has them under his COM
plete control and knows the taste OF
the American public so well that his
programs en- brace the right proportion
of classical and popular music to please
his audiences. The tuba solo by the
Indian, Red Cloud, was me OF the
finest things ever on band program
and should be featured by the Redpath
people wherever the Kryl band APP
pears.
On Wednesday the Fox Sisters
orchestra and Gillian were the enter
tainers. The orchestra was fair, and
regarding Gillian, thereeis some diver
sity of opinion. However, his lecture
was intended for laughing purposes
only, and judging from the amount Of
laughter he provoked, his lecture must
be called success. All will give him
credit for one thing his jokes and
stories were not chestnuts, but new
and fresh.
Congressman Lenroot, of Wisconsin,
was the speaker yesterday afternoon,
with Patriotism" as his theme. He
stated that the patriotism of war was
past but that new patriotism of poll
tics was needed in this country to
abolish corporate control of the nation.
While his address was filled with
thoughts it was plain to be
seen that his idea of a political patriot
was necessarily an insurgent republic
can and that the Bryans, the Cores,
the Clarks, of the democratic party
who have worked with the '.insurg-
ents'' and made their victories pos
sible, are not capable of rescuing the
government from the corporations. 1t
must be done by the republican party
whose law making for the past thirty
years is responsible for the deplorable
conditions of which the insurgents
Justly complain. He urges non-parti-
sanship in politics, but insists that the
non-partisan should vote republican
ticket.
At both of yesterdays programs,
the Lee-Lathrop- Fullenwider company
pleased the audiences Superintendent
Miller had given warning that this was
the "high-class" company of the
course, but Cresco people are so used
to good and CLASSY" music that it
was not above their heads but was
thoroughly appreciated. Both OF the
ladies have splendid, well trained
voices and pleasing personalities. Mr..
FulIenwider, the violinist, is master
of the technique of his instrument and
his selections met with the hearty APP
prevail of the audience.
The Floyds presented in the evening
large number of stock feats of leger-
demain and mindreading, closing with
the trunk mystery. which were clever
ly presented but interesting chiefly in
the fact that no one knew how they
were done, and not from any newness
or novelty of the acts.
Cresco is undoubtedly one of the
Redpath- Vawter Systems best towns.
While in other places difficulty in Sc
curing the guarantee is frequently ex-
perienced, Manchester for instance
subscribing but 400 for another years
course, Manager Miller with but little
effort secured subscriptions for $50
tickets for next years course.
