EVENING SESSION

After a very pleasing pre-.
lude of song and organ chimes
by the Meistersingers, Dr..
Newell Dwight Hills, who ex-
pressed great delight az being
able once more to visit The
county of his hi tn, delivered
his sp'endld lecture, "The Am
erica Of Today and Tomorro w."
DR.. Hills dealt with the pre-
sent day subject from an econ.
omical standpoint showing how
and why the U lited States
now a country of 100000
people would soon be one OF
five or six times that number,
contrary to the pessimistic
views of some few eastern edu.

Cllautauqua

The Meistersingers were with
us yesterday and sang several
fine Quartette numbers CLASH
cal, popular and some of the
good old songs comprised their
repertoire. The set of organ
chimes which this company
carries with them are an ex-
pensive novelty which we are
fortunate to hear on the Cha
iauqua platform. The clear,
silver-like tones are of the
sweetest and the singing of the
qnartette with this instrument
was thoroughly enjoyed. The
audience all joined in on the
last number, America, at the
request of Sen. Lafayette
Young who later in his lecture
stated that if we had been
where he has been during the
last four months. on the Euro.
nean battlefield we would sing
that beautiful song as we never
sang it before every morning
with our prayers and again at
evening time.
Mr.. zimmerman stated in his
announcements that the poet,
M Edmund Vance Cook. would
give a special entertainment
for the children Saturday morn
ing at 10 O'clock, also inviting
adu attendance.
Sen. Young then came for
ward on the platform and was
greeted with hearty applause

interesting to his hearers be.
