With Monday evening closed the
chautauqua whicn held forth in this
city for seven afternoons and evenings.
1t was the third annual event of the
kind by the Travers- Wicks System I'M
der the auspices of the Dorcas society,
an auxiliary of the NJ. Il. church.
Each year has been good worth much
more than the price Of a season ticket
To those who attended all of each year
this years program proved more salts
factory thar the others. In fact, it is
the general opinion that this year 8
was the best. For all that there was
falling off in attendance. Why, the
Tribune cannot say. Don't like to
think our people lack in appreciation
of the refined, the instructive, the up
lifting. Never will we be opportuned
to partake of richer feast OF in
structive and elevating oratory. music,
etc, for two dollars.
The same local society will provide
another chautauque next year, and
hope for more enthusiasm on the part
of the public.

where in this land of the free and home

patriotism to the square foot than in

best yet. So say the thousands in
attendance. And, by the way. these
thousands were so many that it made
up the largest crowd that ever assem-
bled in Linden at one time.
There was something doing from
early morn till midnight, and every
persos engaged therein was bubbling
over with happiness. The address of
our townsman, T. NJ. Priestley, was
splendid effort, one of his best, and SO
pleasing to the large gathering of hear
ers that he held their closest attention
throughout. The two games of ball
clearly showed the great interest our
people take in national sport. The
mass of cheering humanity around the
playing field was something grand to
see and hear The first game, that
between Highland and Miillin mines,
resulted in favor of tho former, score

eagerly waiting for the second contest

would be rood and it was. The players
battled for tx innings without tally,
but in the seventh three Pointers reg

score stood at the close to 0.
With the shadows Of night came the
fireworks, then hoErs Of revelry, some
of which was overdone and had ten

celebration.
