 MT. Leon H. Vincent, who speaks Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons at 4:15 at the Chautauqua Assembly next week is l one of the most pleasing platform speakers of the day. The Hartford
 Daily Times says of him: "As a | speaker Leon H. Vincent is natural ! witty, transparent, interesting in ev- cry sentence and presents his sub- | iect with the charm and grace of a brilliant conversationalist." His com | ing to Bridgeport presents a rare op-
 rortunity to all who are at all in 1 terested in literature and especially tc
 the older pupils in the High School and the teachers in all grades Dr. Newell Dwight Hills of Brook l Iyn. who will give two of his greg lecture at the Chautauqua Assembly y next Friday, has requested that the
 subjects be changed from those an-
 rounced, assuring the nanag gem en! that t will be for the better satisfac- ton of all concerned. He will speak in the afternoon on: ''Henry Ward l Beecher' and in the evening the sub- i iect will be: 'The America of Today
 and of Tomorrow" Dr. Hills is al ways a master upon the platform and 1 these two subjects that lie so near his
 heart will put him at his best.
