steps were taken toward a ChautAuqua

cost is 25 cents for each session: 80

enjoy the benefits derived from the
weeks entertainment. The tickets
are also transferable.
The program is an elaborate one,
and will bring to the city men and
women from various sections of the
country. Many of them have appear
ed in foreign countries and would be
there today but for the fact that the
opportunities in this country are more
inviting and the terms more attract.

ed, but it will probaly be about June
%. This date appealed strongly to
those at the meeting because 1t is a
time before the people leave for their
vacations, and affords them an oppor-
tunity OF enjoying a Chautauqua at
home for far less than they would pay
elsewhere.
