manner in which those plays were pre-

wrote the plays. Miss Frances Reik
as Katherine" in "The Tanning of
the Shrew'' did exceptionally we'll
while Mr. Harry +. Bud as "Petru-

and masterful authority essential in

with humor and an appreciation
that was exceedingly refreshing The
entertainments given by the Cahta

This concert was one of the most
pleasing features of the Chautauqua
and great credit is due to those who
helped to make it a success. The
choruses were splendidly rendered and
the several numbers by Mrs. Della
marter, as we'll as the piano solos by
Lawrence Bernhart, received hearty
applause.
The Chicago operate company,
consisting of Arthur Middleton, bas-
SO, John B. Miller, tenor, Frederick
Downing, contralto, Lenora A. Allen,
J soprano, and Edgar A. Nelson, plan
| list, gave the musical numbers on
Thursday evening and on Friday
| afternoon, with afull concert Friday
evening. The company gave scenes
in costume from "Romeo and Juliet,
| also selections from Faust" Mar
| tina" and other operas. There are
| few musicians more generally or more
favorably known throughout this
| country. Each appearance was greet
| ed with most hearty and appreciatiye
| applause, and every one felt that he
received more than the value of his
| ticket from these entertainments
| alone.
The last and possibly the best
| musical company was the Schumann
Quintet, composed of five well known
musical artists of Chicago, some of
| whom were connected with the great
| Thomas orchestra and others held
prominent positions as instructors in
| the best musical Conservatives of the
| city. Mr.. G.. E. Lampert, the man
ager and first yiolinist, described
| briefly the characteristics of the music
of the different composers from whom
selections were given and explained
| the motive OF the selection before it
was played. This added greatly to
| the enjoyment of the composition.
| So delighted were the audience that
! they expressed a desire to have the
Schuman Quintet again next year.
During a few minutes intermission
| in the afternoon and evening of Sun
day, A G. Schmidt, secretary, asked
for subscriptions for tickets for next
year and enough tickets were sold to
guarantee a Chautauqu next year
The people of Wausau may we'll
| congratulate themselves upon having
/ the privilege of hearing such beauti-
full music and such inspiring addresses
as they have listened to during the
eight days which the Chautauqua
lasted. No community of the size of
WauSau can afford to deprive its peo-
| pie of such opportunities. They bring
| the best talent of the country to their
very doors and offer opportunities
that most of the people would other
wise never be privileged to enjoy.
| Every person in the community
| should give his hearty encouragement
| and support to this enterprise.
At the close of the program Sunday
evening, S. B. Tobey, president of the
Wausau Lake Assembly, and who has
been platform manager, made brief
address, thanking the public generally
for its patronage which has made it
possible to furnish such an excellent
program, and to the Wausau Street
Railroad Company for its excellent
service and use of its pavilion. 1t
goes without saying that to Mr.. Tobey
| and the Assembly's very efficient sec
Rotary, A. G. Schmidt, is due the sue
cess of the Chautauqua, They have
been the ones who have directed and
planned and executed. They have al
ready started on next years Chautau-
qua program and the PILOT has no
hesitancy in saying that it will be a
success. Our people are generally in
debted to Messrs. Tobey and Schmidt
for the great work they are doing
for the educational interests Of Wau-
Sau,
