The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1911-08-22
These Are the Questions Be-
ing Asked, but No Def
mite Statements Have Been
Made at Present.
NEW HAWKINS PARK
is NOW SUGGESTED
Program Arranged for the
Chautauqua This Year,
Which Will Open Friday,
Is an Excellent One.
Will there be chautauqua next

Will there be Chautauqua next
year? II SO where will it be held.
These questions are being asked
now and no one can give answers to
them. The Chautauqua officials state
that they do not know where next
years assembly will be held, as
the city administration has declar-
ed that the Chautauqua will not be
permitted to be given in Glen Miller
park after this years assembly. It
lis the general impression that the
Chautauqua will be held in the new
park on the Hawkins property along
the river Ray Robinson. chairman
of the new park committee stated this
morning that no arrangements had
been made yet with the ChautauQua
association In regard to the next year.
When the question as to where next
years assembly OF the Chautauqua Il
to be held was asked them, officers,
directors and guarantors Of the asso-
citation declared that no one knew.
From their statements, however. 1t Is
gathered that attempts will be made
to hold the 1912 assembly in Glen
park. They say. that the city officials
now look more kindly upon the Chau-
tauqua than before and they believe
arrangements may be made whereby
the tenth annual assembly can be held
Glen Still Favored.
On account of the conveniences and
advantages offered at the Glen the
association believes that 1t would be
far better than at the new proposed
park.
However, H. R. Robinson stated to-
day that providing the new park
park could be improved before next
summer that arrangements probably
could be made whereby the Chautau-
qua could be held there. He says thit
| if possible work on improving the
ground and constructing the lake will
start this fall, or as soon as the deeds
for the property can be drawn up and
the money which is subscribed col
lected.
I'VE have never said that the Chau-
tauqua could or could not hold its ~
sembly at the new park next year"
he said. but the impression has got
!, ten out that the Chautauqua will be
held at the Hawkins lake ground. l
don't know who started this idea a.
no arrangement has been made. I
suspect that there would be no objec-
tions on the part OF the new park
management ii 1t was held there
| That the proposed park would be an
ideal location for a chautauqua there
is no question or doubt. 1t 10 situated

cured and patrons of the chautauqua
