Chautauqua
to Come Again

finished their entertainment Tuesday
night there closed Medina's first
Chautauqua season. To say that the
season has been a success, both ar
tistically and financially, is only stat
ing the facts. Artistically, the en-
tertainments have been all that could
desired. The lectures were interest
ing and instructive and delivered by
able and well-known men. Finan-
cially what was predicted by many
would prove deficit, instead season
closed with substantial profit
AS is we'll known the Medina I'm
provement Association was the pro-
moter of the local Chautauqua. Had
it not been for their unremitting eff
forts there would have been a deficit.
1t is no easy task to sell 750 sea-
son tickets at $500 each. If you
thing it is, try it some time. Never
theless this energetic association
turned the trick and should and of
course does have theprofound thanks
of all those who were fortunate
enough to attend the various attrac-
tions.
In our issue of last week we gave
suitable mention of the daily pro-
grams up and including Thursday
evening.
