held on July s to 16 inclusive, be-
ginning Saturday night and closing
on Sunday. The talent for this year
is exceptionally strong and assures a
splendid program for each occasion.
For the most part the attractions are
new, but there are several of the
favorites of last year who will be
seen here again. On the whole We
think the program is a stronger N
than last years, and that was plenty
good enough. The success Of last
years chautauQua, financially and
artistically. leads the local manage
ment to believe that the people want
and will support it and the attendance
should be even better than the first
year. The programs will be given in
the pavilion, where they were held
last year and which proved to be an
ideal place.
Congress is in session and there will
be no noted political speakers on this
years program, but an unusually
strong list Of lecturers will be here.
Each days program, in the afternoon
or evening, will include a noted ad-
dress.
Prominent among the lecturers is
Col. G.. A. Gearhart, who made such
an excellent impression here last year
and every one who attended then
will be glad OF the opportunity to
hear him again. Col. Gearhart Is an
able and eloquent speaker and his
address will be n of the features Of
the week.
Another favorite Of last year who
will return is DR.. Henry A. Buchtel,
chancellor Of the University of Den
yer and ex-governor OF Colorado. DR..
Buchtel will deliver a lecture in the
afternoon and preach on Sunday ~
