A CHAUTAUQUA
FOR BROOkINGS
FINE entertainment ASSURED
FOR CITY.
TO BE HELD JULY 9 TO II
PROGRAM CONTAINS TALENT OF
NATIONAL REPUTATION.


Midland Chautauqua association of Des
MONIES, Iowa, spent Friday and Satur-
day here and completed arrangements
for a c%hautauqua to be held in this city
the city took the matter in hand and
with very little work enough tickets
were disposed of to assure the enter
tainment coming here.
A local chautauqua association wa
formed, with the following officers:
President, Geo. P. Sexauer; secretary,
George N. Breed; treasurer. M. G.. Car
Isle. These officers will have charge
of the local arrangements. The chau-
tauqua association agrees to divide
equally with the local association all
receipts over $4,000, and, in case there
is any dividends coming, it will be
turned over to the fair association or
some other worthy organization.
1t is planned to have the chautau-
qua on the fair grounds and the big
tent in which the entertainments will
be held will be pitched on the open
space south of the stock pavilion.
The tickets for the course will sell
at two dollars each and the dates
for the ~Brookings chautauqua will
probably be July 9 to II, inclusive,
making a nine days course. These are
the dates of the annual summer school
at the college, when a large number
of visiting teachers will be here. These
dates may be changed, nut will not
he moro than a couple OF days earlier
or later. There are eighteen pros
grams in the nine days course and at
two dollars for a season ticket the
price of each program will be but
eleven cents. The programs will be
given afternoons and evenings.
The program includes some of the
best known chautauqua talent in the
country and we believe Brcokings was
very fortunate in securing this course.
This is the same company that has
been putting on chautauquas at Water
town, Pipestone, Marshall and other
nearby towns, and Brookings people
who have attended them at any of
these towns can testify to the high
grade of entertainment that has been
given.
Below we give the program as now
outlined for Bookings. There may be
one or two changes, but it is nearly
correct. Among the lecturers are Sen
ator Cummins of Iowa, one of the
foremost men in the country today;
DR.. Thos. Green, who was billed for
the college lecture course this winter,
but unable to get here; Governor Buch-
tel, Mrs. Florence Maybrick, who spent
many years in an English prison;
Senator Gillilland, and DR.. James He'd
