On the next day of this festival

band will present a program in the
afternoon including cornet solos by
Mr.. Kryl. This is the third season Of
M h io
Chautauquas this year, there being
unanimous call for them everywhere

and his Band will be heard in another
concert, during the first part of the
program, and the latter part will be
given up to selections from gran6
opera by the Denton Grand Opera
Company, accompanied by the band
These grand opera players will appea
in special costume. In fact it will be
a grand finale to these two days, such
Chautauqua.
Another announcement which will
be greeted with interest and enthus-
iasm is the coming of the Ben Greet
Players. This company made the tour
of 110 Redpath Chautauquas last sea-
son and this season will appear on 13O.
There will be thirteen actors in the
company, including Percival Vivian
who made SO many friends On the
Chautauquas of last season.
All Ben Greet plays are given with
the minimum stage effect. There is
nothing to detract attention from the
play itself. Every actor is experienced
and each plays his part with the sole
purpose of depicting the character ex
actly as it should be. Correct diction
and pronunciation are Distinguishing
characteristics of the Ben Greet play
ers.
A special feature of the opening day
will be concert by the Dunbar Quar-
tet and Bell Ringers. Carrying peal
of 200 bells made in Europe, this com
pany will furnish a program of inter
est to old and young.

in three parts. One part will include
vocal quartet selections, the second
will consist of instrumental numbers
On violin, cello and piano, and the thir6
ringing.

best known in the Lyceum and Chau.

One of the several lecturers who
will speak here Chautauqua week is
to deal with the Japanese problem il
this countryTa subject which has
been discussed great deal during the
past year and yet one upon which
people outside of California are bu'
little informed.
Montaville Flowers, under the theme
of Color Guard and Picket Line" will
fully discuss this important subject.
Having lived in Ohio and California
Mr.. Flowers has been able to study the
Japanese problem from the viewpoint
of both eastern and western people
He mentions the fact that $4,000 OF
the $4,000 Japanese in the United
States live in California. In 1878 the
number was scarcely 100.

story teller. The playground Worl
will be free to all children.
