Dancing accommodations for pri-

Superintendent Ed Hollarn. The
floor has been redressed and waxed
and is said to be in excellent condi-
ton. The privilege OF using the hall
may be secured by responsible parties.
The hall has been wired for electric

of the park is 10 o'clock the pavilion
will be kept open until midnight. The
only charge which the city exacts is
for the light bill. 1t is probable that
a piano viii be installed later.
1t is expected that the hall will be
very popular during the Chautauqua.
Dancing has been tabooed by the ex-
ecutive committee of the Chautauqua
association because they claim that the
merriment annoys the sleepers.
