into Chautauqua city of the first
magnitude. The first sign of un-
usual interest was the sale of the
1000 season tickets by early Moa-
day morr ing. There was then a
scramble for $3.50 season tickets
but many were too late. The Chau
tauqua management concealed a
point by issuing enough tickets at
$3.50 to cover the card signatures
- last year.
The first number on the pro-
gram was Tuesday afternoon when
the six Kirksmith sisters gave a
concert.
The young ladies were a "'ice
bunch" OF girls and their mus,
was fine. They also appeared on
the evening program.
DR.. Mattison w. Chase gave a
fine lecture on "Sight and Insight
IL the afternoon.
At night Miss Evelyn BargeIt, car
toonist and reader, divided the
time with the Kirksmith sisters.
Miss Bargelt has been in Marshall
before and always pleases.
Wednesdays program opened
with the "King Arthur's Court' con
Quoted by Matt r. Sawyers. Mr..
Sawyers is a Give wire" and can
tell more facts in less minutes
than a dozen women at a "Kaffee
Klatch."
In the afternoon the Royal Ital-
ian Band and Walter Eccles kept
things going. The band consists
of "a pieces and soon convinced the
audience that Italians can do some
thing we'll besides "selling de
banan." The band is undoubtedly
one of the best to be found and
their music was grand. Those
Who missed them, lost treat.
Prof. Walter Eccles, humorist and
reader, gave some selections that
were much enjoyed. Both the
band and Prof. Eccles appeared
again at night. Supt. Rheinfrank
presented one OF the bandmen to
The audience at night, stating that
he passed through the Messina
earthquake and was rescued from
the debris after being imprisoned
four days, his mother dying at his
side in the meantime.
Thursday yesterday was a big
day, owing to the presence of
William Jennings Bryan on the pro
gram last night. King Arthur
Court convened at 9 a. m. A Ia
dies quartette appeared in the af-
ternoon and night. DR.. A. A. Will
let's, the Apostle of Sunshine, de-
F-hvered one of his sunshiny lee
lures at 8 p. m. We go to press
before the Bryan meeting so can
not report same till next week.
The attendance at each session
thus far has been remarkable. The
great tent is usually filled to over
flowing and many must stand or
sit outside. An unusual throng
was expected for the Bryan meet
ing and the meetings yet to be
held will no doubt tax the tents
capacity.
Today (Friday) at $50 Ruthven
Mcdonald, the fine baritone sing
er who was here last year, will be
back. At 8 p. m. Hon. Duncan E.
McKinlay of California will tell us
all about "The Yellow Peril" At

Saturday at 2.sO the Music Max
ers Quartette will be on the pro-
gram and also at 7.30. Senator A.
B. Cummins is advertised for p.
m. Saturday but he has been very
sick and it is doubtful that he'llbe
able to fill the date. Senator Cum
Minis is an Insurgent Republican

ence. At sos Strickland w. Gilli-
Ian, the famous humorist, will ap-
pear (see adv. elsewhere).
Sunday at 2.S0 the Fox Sisters
orchestra will give a concert and
