NOON AND CONTINUES FOR
EIGHT DAYS
METROPOLITAN SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
One Of the Best Musical Organizations
In the Country, Will Give the
Opening Numbers Wednesday

The Brookings Chautauqua will
open at the fair grounds next Wednes-
day afternoon, July 9th, and will close
the following Wednesday evening.
Two programs will be given daily,
afternoon and evening and there will
be sixteen programs in all. The after
noon programs will commence at 2:30
and the evening programs at 1880.
The Chautauqua this year promises
to be the best n ever given here. An
unusually good line Of talent Is on the
program, including several men of
national reputation. The prices are
very reasonable, two dollars for a
season ticket, which makes each en-
tertainment cost but twelve and a
half cents. Children's season tickets
are n dollar. Single admissions for
adults will be twenty-five cents for
most Of the numbers, with an admis-
sion Of thirty-five cents for a few of
the numbers.
The two opening programs Wednes.
day afternoon and evening will be
given by the Metropolitan Symphony
Orchestra, a musical organization that
is rated second only to the Minneapolis
orchestra in the northwest. s. M.
Holiday, manager Of the Midland
Chautauqua Circuit, writes us that
this will be the big number of the
course, and it certainly should appeal
to the m%usic-loving people OF Brook
ings.
Captain Richmond P. Hobson, mem
Der of congress, naval expert and ma
tional celebrity, lectures on the even
ing Of July 18th. Captain Hobson is
a most entertaining speaker and his
lecture, "The Destiny Of America"
will be n of the treats Of the week.
Another national character on the
program is Senator w. s. Kenyon of
Iowa. Few men have entered the
United States senate who have at
tanned the immediate recognition &C.
corded Senator Kenyon as one OF the
strong men OF the upper branch of
congress. This is not to be wondered
at, for he was a noted lawyer and
judge of Iowa, was appointed by form
President Roosevelt as Assistant
United States Attorney General, was
very prominent in preparing the case
against the indicted Beef Trust"
packers, and upon his election to the
United States senate he became one
of the prominent members of the CON-
mittee that investigated for the second
the election of Senator Lorimer,
of Illinois.
Among the other we'll known men
who lecture are Glenn Frank, field
secretary of Northwestern University;
DR.. Wesley Hunsberger. v~ice-president
OF the International Peace Forum; DR..
Euclid B. Rogers, orator; Lincoln
Writ, arctic explorer; Fred Eugene
Baker, Albert Edward Wiggam.
Among the entertainers is Arthur
Rachel, who pleased here last year..

be as enjoyable as the Music Master"
which he gave last year. Other good
are the Kafir Boys choir,
the Raweis, native New Zealanders;
Edwin Brush, Magician; Annie Their
csc Davault, reader and i~mpersonator.
