GALA DAY At DELTA
Boosters Announce White Way Pic
mic For August S.

Thirty-three automobiles, loaded
with boosters for the big Gala Day
and Great White Way picnic to be
held in Delta on Wednesday, August
3, arrived in Oskaloosa yesterday af-
ternoon at o'clock after an all day
tour embracing over 100 miles. The
party was accompanied by the Delta
band and every car bore a large ban.
ner announcing the place and date
Of holding the festal occasion. Mem
bers of the party, which numbered
nearly 200 people, were armed with
carnival horns, and they made their
presence known in vigorous fashion.
They also passed out neat folders,
designed in the shape of a railroad
pass, giving the program for Gala
Day and issuing to every one a cor
dial invitation TO be in attendance
They remained here for supper and
departed on the return trip shortly
after 6 o'clock. The only lamentable
feature of their visit was the fact
that Oskaloosa people were not ad
vised in advance of their coming and
had no opportunity to tender a suit.
able reception.
The tourists left Delta yesterday
morning before eight o'clock and
went north 10 What Cheer and
Thornburg, thence TO Keswick and
South English, south of Keota, thence
west on the Great White Way to
Harper and SigOurney, then south to
Hayesville, Martinsburg and Hedrick
and thence northwest to Fremont,

through Rose Hill on the return lap.
Almost a complete circle around Del
ia was described by the party on
their tour. Brief stops were made at
each town, concert was played by
the band and tickets TO the picnic
were distributed.
Delta is planning on a big time at
their annual Great White Way pic
mic and the spirit which prompted
their booster trip yesterday is ample
assurance that all who attend will be
richly rewarded. A program of excep-
tional merit has been provided for
the entertainment of the thousands
of people who will be in Delta for
the day. Governor George w. Clarke
will be the orator of the day and 9th
er talks will be made by prominent
speakers. The famous 54th Regiment
band of Ottumwa will play for the
occasion, concerts will be rendered
by Bellies Minstrel Singers of Ottum-
wa, and the Williamsburg Choral
Union, one of the best musical aggre-
cations in Iowa, will give their COM
ic opera, The New Minister" with
a cast of 40 people. In the afternoon,
the Oskaloosa Giants cross bats on
the baseball diamond with the Delta
team and the combat promises to be
a hot one. Concessions of a varied
character will bid for popularity, and
plenty of pure ice water, an abund-
ance of shade. good seats if you want

SOME TOP NOTCHERS
Arr On the Program For the Oska-
loOsa 1914 Chautauqua.

Mountain peaks always possess a
grandeur that is sublime and inspir,
ing. But there are high points il
ent as well as in nature and some OF
it is coming TO OskalOOsa in connec-
ton with the chautauqua in August
Nine Alice Nielsen in her experience
has had a most diversified life. She
is a native of Tennessee and when
she was scarcely more than school
girl, began her work in light opera
From the very start she has been a
popular success and the jump from
light opera to grand opera was re-
garded by some as risky, but Nine
Nielsen never questioned the result
and has succeeded far beyond the
most sanguine expectations of her
friends.
Perhaps no artist has been receiv-
ed with higher favor by royalty than
has Nine. Nielsen. Whether singing
before Kings and Queens or in con
cert before the general public she is
at all times the same genial and I'm.
affected artist Added to this, there
is charm in her personality and a
grace, beauty and naturalness in her
song that seems to win the instant
approval of her audience. In her con
cert on Tuesday evening, August Is,
she has her own accompanst, who is
also an artist of known reputation.
The Williams Jubilee Co. needs no
introduction to an Oskaloosa audi
ence as they were here a few years
ago when the chautauqua was held
in the large tabernacle at University
Park. There are eight in the comp
any and they are always a delightful
treat. The Kuehn Concert Co is an
other attraction of merit. The CON-
pany comprises a ViOlinist, gifted
cellist, dramatic soprano soloist,
and a pianist. Their programs are
varied and more than pleasing in
their rendition.
Toward the last of the chautauqua,
the Thatcher Opera Co. of nine peo-
pie will give their rendition of the
opera, Carmen" Each of the com.
pany is a soloist and each an artist
in their line. The opera has been
particularly arranged for chautauqua
work and will be not only unique
novelty, but also a decided treat to
all On the last evening of the chau-
taugua, there will be Delano's Mar.
inc Band This is a typical band of
Uncle Sans Bluejackets and all of
the thirty-fVe men are experts in
their work. Their music is peculiar
to their life as seen in the Navy.
They have u nice variety of selec-
tions that are rendered with a vim
and dash that is in keeping with
their activity. 1t will be a most fit
ting close for a program that anOth-
er year will be hard to excel.
Next week will be the last week
in which season tickets can be bought
at the reduced rate. Saturday, Aug.
INST 8th is the last day Prior to the
opening night we shall refer to the
general arrangements that have been
made for the comfort of the chau-
tauqua patrons. Every convenience
is to be extended to the public and
the committees are now at work per
fecting their plans.
