Tickets of Civic improvement
Their Share of Excess Over Guarantee

the talent, has always made good in
our Lyceum Courses and Chautauquas,
and our committee feel sure they will
continue to do so, and while the tickets
will be increased in price TO $3.50 an
other year. we feel that the quality
of the talent will warrant satisfac-
ton.
When it is considered that we pay
but a slight advance over moving pic
ture prices, per number Of entertain
ments, none should let the price be an
obstacle.
Alma certainly mas a most ideal To-
cation for her Chautauqua, made pos
sible by the liberality and kindness
of Mrs Sarah Wright Lancashire who
has recently given this beautiful play
ground to our city. A unanimous ex-
preston of thanks was voted to her on
Joy Night at which time Mayor A. p.
Cook exhibited a deed of the convey
ance of the property.
AS to the finances of this years
Chautauqua, the local treasurer re-
ported as follows: Total tickets re-
ceived from the bureau-Adults, /,
600, to be sold at So each and 200 chill
dren's tickets at 81 each.
Of which S53 adult and 113 children
tickets were sold, for which was re-
ceived $1,S19-$319 above the guaran-
tee of $500, which excess amount was
equally divided between the committee
and the bureau. The local committee
turn the amount of S159.50 over to the
ladies of the Civic Improvement
League to be used by them for civic
needs and otherwise as they see fit.
About 515 persons have signed cards
agreeing to take adult tickets for the
1915 Chautauqua. And 40 names are
on the contract for same, hence the
event is assured for next year.
This is a Good Thing in a good
Town. Let's all boost it.
