Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1912-07-16

I George E. Colby. the artist and lee
turer, was on for the evenings enter
tainment. The Jess Pugh company
delightfully."- entertained all for a half
an hour before Mr.. Colby started in.
There had been every indication of a
heavy storm all the evening and Mr.
Colby had no more than started be-
fore the storm was on in all its fury
HauSau has not witnessed such an
electrical display and downpour Of
rain for years. Mr.. Colby could not
talk at all because he could not be
heard ten feet away. He could only
draw pictures, which he did to the
great pleasure and delight of his
large audience.
Saturday was splendid day and
great crowds were present at the
various entertainments. At 2 O'Clock
p. M. the Jess Pugh company came
on. At 2:30 Ralph Parlette gave his
humorous lecture entitled 1.-THE Uni
versity of Hard Knocks" which a
large audience greatly enioyed. In
the evening the Jess Pugh Co. made
its last appearance before the Chau-
tauqua,\ and German, the Wizard,
gave his entertainment, which was
filled with wonderful stunts by the
great magician. He kept up a rapid
fire talk which was intensely amusing
to his large audience and his tricks
were past finding out even TO those
he called upon the platform TO assist
him.
Sunday was the greatest day of the
Chautauqua up to this time. At 1920
Prof, Daggy gave a sermon-lecture
which all enjoyed and which was very
appropriate to the day. At O'Clock
the HuSsarS opened with brief con-
cert Of high class band music, songs
and readings.
At 2:15 O'Clock DR.. Frank W. Gun
saulus was introduced to the audience.
He spoke for a few moments upon
WauSau and its people; how he had
known much about the city through
friends and how he had long promised
himself the enjoyment of paying
Wausau a visit His remarks about
our splendid pavilion and the oppor
tunity our people had of conducting
successful ChautauquaS, was truly
encouraging. He asked the audience
to stand and sing che first and last
verses of "My Country IT'S of Thee"
led by the Hussar band. This was
given with sucn vim that it inspired
all present. DIR. Gunsaulus then COM
menced his lecture, not on "SavOna-
rola" as advertised, but he said he
had taken the liberty of changing it
to one on SWIM. Gladstone" DR..
GunSauluS SO held the attention Of
his vast audience that the two hours
in which he spoke seemed but pass
ing moment, and there was regret
that it was over when the man of
eloguence turned to leave the stage.
His hearers all realized that they had
heard one of the greatest men of our
country.
Sunday evening the Hussars again
gave an excellent program of music,
which was followed by Adrian M.
Newens, the monologist. He presented
1.-THE Singular Life"
Yesterday at 1870 a. m. Prof. Daggy
lectured. At 2 o'clock the Hussars
entertained those present for half an
hour which was followed by Adrian
M. Newens who presented GA Mes
sage From Mars" which was greatly
enjoyed.
Last evening the Hussars gave a
grand concert which was largely at
tended and greatly enjoyed by our
lovers of good music. Those of our
citizens who were not present missed
a rare treat.
The program for the balance of the
week is as follows:
