LANCASTER To HAVE
A fine CHAUTAUQUA

Before the sessions of Lancaster's
Chautauqua were over last year it
was announced that the receipts had
been considerably larger than expect
ed, in spite of the fact that it was

had not been advertised as extensively
as it should have been. The people
Of Lancaster and vicinity, however,
maintained their reputation for
literally patronizing entertainments
of this character and everything in
Dictated that another year a greater
success might be scored.
Of late very little has been heard
about a Chautauqua, and many have
taken it for granted that we would
have none this year.

representative of the Travers- Wick
Cautauqua System, of Des Moines,
Ia, has been here and arranged all
necessary details for the furnishing
Of their course of entertainments
here during the seven days beginning
Sunday, July II and ending Saturday
evening, July Is. 1t will be under
the auspices of the Congregational
and Methodist chuches of this city,
and there is no doubt that the sale of
season tickets will far exceed that
