Visitors viii Find Mercelina
Park When Celina Chautau.
qua Opens on 23rd.
Marked improvements, Adding
to Great Natural Beauty,
Will Greet the Eye.

A map of the newly laid out Merce-
lima Park, whore the big 1910 Celina
Chautauqua will be held, is presented
below. The grounds this year will
present different appearance from
heretofore, being not only neatly laid
out, but cleaned up in every respect
The new arch entrance TO the grounds
will be put in next week, following the
completion of the new crossings by the
Lake Erie, making a much neater en-
trance TO the grounds than heretofore.
The large circle shown on the map,
near the entrance to the grounds, is the
ball diamond. Just south of it, in the
dark square, is the big Chautauqua
auditorium. To the east and north of
the entrance the small dark square
shows the location of the big club
house and assembly hall, now under
course of construction. To the north
and west of this a number of cottages
have been erected by the management
of the park, while to the east two large
private cottages, the property of Ed
mund Brandts and j. II. Winkeljohan
have been erected. The little black
spot on Lake View avenue, the main
thOrOughfare, and just south of the big
club house, marks the home of Ground
Manager A. Il. Hamburger, and where

year will be much appreciated.
1t is of interest to note that this years
program differs from former programs
not only in the addition of week but
in the much greater strength of the mu.
steal program.
For example there is a full concert
company on the program every after
noon and evening.
In former years we have thought our
selves very fortunate to have soloist
for the preludes, but this year there will
be a quartette of musicians for every
prelude during the whole sixteen days
of the Chautauqua.
The growth of the Chautauqua inter
est was never so pronounced as this
year and those who expect to camp
would do well to locate their tents at
once.
Programs may be had by addressing
the Chautauqua, also most of the busi-
ness houses of Celina have supply on
hand. The Office of the Chautauqua is
at 1876 w, Market st., Celina, where sea-
son tickets may be had and tents may
be had and tents may be rented.
Gus Hamburger will be on the Chau-
tauqua grounds all day tomorrow to
locate tents for those who plan to camp
at the Chautauqua.
Only those who have receipts for
payment of tent rental will be entitled
to select tent sites.

Just why the summer months Of each
year would be set aside for three

been explained. There is some excuse
for the manufacturer of fur garments,
Ice skates and patent ear muiis, but the
rank and fle of advertisers deal in
necessities which are used quite AS
much in July as in January" As a
matter OF fact the dun season" Of
either the manufacturer or the merchant

surprised that the momentum Of the

doubly indispensable when business Is

ROBINSON
GREAT SHOWS
To Exhibit in Celina on 2lst-
How the Big Organization
Is Managed.

There Is certainly no travelling en-
tertainment in America, perhaps in the
world, which presents exhibitions so
varied, so attractive and so multitudi-
nous as do the John Robinson Shows.
Since the days of Noah a more COM
plete menagerie has never been seen.
Traditional, poetic and enchanting
scenes never before equalled or wit.
messed in the gorgeous arenie display.
Every act in the monster program is
a revelation to the beholder. The finest
specimens of horse flesh in the world 4,
the highest aerialists in the circus pro-
fession, the champion riders, both male
and female, the finest specimens of the
cutest ponies in the world the grandest
specialists ever exhibited; the funniest
clowns on earth are with the John Rob-
inson shows.
Almost every circus claims to have a
show that can not be duplicated and an
aggregation of performers the like of
which can not be brought together, but
the fact is that every circus of any con-
sequence has a double force and a
double equipment.
There are really two circus troupes
which have TO travel about. The leapers
are liable to do injury. a sprained
ankle will put one ofthe best performers
out, and there must be man to take
his place. Possibly the substitute will
make as great a nit as the regular.
Even the performing horses have their
substitutes.
1t is fact not generally known that
the John Robinson Shows carry two
ponplate large panVaseE In case one
Is destroyed by fire or storm, another
must be ready to put up. When fail
ure to give a performance entails a loss
of from $4,000 to $50, 900 for expenses,
the matter becomes serious.
The big show comes to Celina, Thurs
day, July 2l.

AN EPOCH
MAKING FOURTH
Was Celina's Celebration Of the
Nations Great Holiday
Last Monday.
Impressive Was Parade Preced-
ing Hanley's Patriotic Ad-
dress at Auditorium.

Last Monday, the Fourth Of July,
1910, was the biggest day ever seen in
Celina, and the crowd, which number
cd away up in the thousands, was not
only the largest, most pleasant faced
ever seen in this city but II was by all
odds the kindliest and best behaved
that ever filled our streets.
The day was pleasant one, In fact
ideal, and was about as big an i'm.
provement over the usual Fourth Of
July weather as the celebration was
over former drunken carousals In COM
memoration Of the day.
And there was nothing TO mar the
pleasures of the great day through ac-
cident or otherwise.
From early morn to almost noon the
Sunday-sehools of the county poured
their hosts into town, big double
wagons drawn by four, six and eight
horses, laden with smiling faces, most
ly young folk, with banners and mot
toes held on high, bands playing and
vehicles of all descriptions following
in their wake, afforded an inspiring
sight.
When the last of the delegations ar
rived on the street leading into the
park, the wagons were emptied of their
precious freight. The Sunday-schools
we're then lined up for the parade,
which wss made on foot. The pub
lished line of march was virtually ad-
hered to, the only change being to add
two squares to its length, moving up
to the Public Library before turning

messed by thousands of people massed
along the streets. 1t fetched up At
Mercelina Park at about noon and dis
banded, when baskets of good things
were brought forth and the feast, pre-
pared by loving mothers, began.
The program of the afternoon drew
the biggest crowd the Chautauqua
auditorium has ever seen, the crowd
spreading out and beyond the man.
moth structure. Mayor Kenney wei
coined the Sunday school hosts in his
usual happy vein. Rev. Butler, of FIT.
Recovery, replied, and in a few brief
remarks DR.. A. Edwin Smith, of Ada,
introduced Ex-Governor Hanly, of In
dianapolis, the orator of the day. Mr..
Hanley is a forceful and eloquent
talker, and his address drew the plaud-
its of the assemblage to an unusual
extent
The second county Sunday school
Fourth of July celebration was great
er in every way than its predecessor,
and plans should be laid for more
magnificent celebration next year.

Two hits in the seventh inning with
nobody out, followed by "A wild pitch
by Joyce and passed balfby Hedgcook
gave Celina a shut out over the fast ST.
Marys salarled team last Sunday after
noon at Mercelina Park. The game
was fast and full OF sensational fielding
and might have went draw had Joyce
been accorded that perfect support
which the Celina Kids put up
behind Young Joe Fredericks. II was
nifty contest throughout, and was
only won because of fielding error on
the part of the visitors, while Celina's
fielding record showed up without a
blemish for the first time this year.
Young Joe pitched brilliant game,
and while he was hit hard, he kept the
bingling so well scattered that with a
couple of fast double plays to help him
out, there was nothing doing but nine
big goose eggs for the Sanity City lads.
Big Benedict Joyce had a little the
best of the showing, and went along at
a great clip until the seventh inning.
He had the size Of the boys from the
little back stop up to big George Betz,
and was always going until the big
second sacker found an opening in the
seventh. Joyce went up in an instance
and threw the ball away, Betz going to
second. The infield then crawled in
for Fredericks TO sacrifice, but he
dropped ono Just out of reach over the
first baseman's head and beat it out.
Then the knocko out blow came. Joyce
lost his bearings and hit George Myers
in the ribs, filling the bases. He gave
Wenning several high ones and finally
threw low one which Hedgecook let
go through and Betz and Fredericks
scored. Hobby tried hard to keep the
thing going but forced Myers out on
slow infield hit. McKirnan couldn't
do better than roll out to Dogget and
