caught the large audience and there
was request for it's repetition in the
e.ening, which was granted.
Upon the whole the days program
was splendid one, and was pro-
nounced by many as the best Of the
course.
Today will be the musical day of
Chat tanqua. This forenoon DR.. Col
ledge lectured on James Barrie"
At the afternoon and evening exercis-
es the feature will be Bohumir Kryl
and his band, and J. Walter Wilson,
the reader and impersonator, will fol
low the music. Kryl is conceded to
be the greatest cornetist in the
world, and produces tones that are
apparently impossible to others. The
great critics of the musical world
have had nothing but praise for this
artist and his associates in this fea-
ture of the Chautauqua. He was urg-
cd to become a band leader by Sousa,
and gave up promising career MS a
sculptor to follow this advice. Kryl
is not only musician but a man OF
finest artistic temperament in every
senle.
There is a promise that there will
be decidedly the largest attendance at
today's exercises of any of the entire
week, and those who want a seat to-
night will need to be at the tent
SOME earlier.
