Hamilton Season Which Opens To
day Was One Of the First Tent
Entertainments Opened In
This Vicinity.
GOOD TALENT SECURED
Or. Edwin Lanham Is Platform Mana
aer-opening Program Will be
Heard Tonight at
Eight O'clock.

Today is opening day at the chau-
tauqua at Hamilton, which is starting
its tenth season. In as much as tent
chautauquas have developed practic-
ally only in the last decade, it is plain
that Hamilton may be classed as one
OF the Oldest Of the circuits.
This year marks the fortieth ami
versary OF the chautauqua movem emit,
purely American institution. Bishop
Vincent started the first one at Chau-
tauqua, n. Y, hence the name. The
first one was in the nature of camp
meeting, to which later popular lee
lures were added. Other permanent
summer assemblies were established
at Bay View, Mich. Lake Winona,
Ind, Miami valley Ohio, Ottawa,
Kans., and other points. Only within
the last ten years has the tent chau-
tauqua been developed.
There are in the United States this
year $3.50 chautauquas, a conservative
estimate has been made that between
100000 to 100000 attended the
chautauquas last year and the num-
Der will be larger this year because
there are 500 more chautauquas being
held this year than last.

The reliability and the promptness
of the United Press associations is SO
effective and so efficient that 1t calls
forth compliments by the hundreds
who are reading the bulletins in front
Of The Gate City Office each day. The
amount OF telegraph news and the
dependability of its service has es-
tabIished a solid home in this city.
The eagerness with which the war
news is read from the bulletin boards
and in the newspaper indicates how
popular it is. The leadership of The
Gate City in war news as in all 9th er
matters of Importance is rapidly
growing. All efforts to disprove this
claim fail.
