Chauthuqua Notes

A. visitor was in town one day
idurihg chautauqua but did not
attend a program. When he re-
turned home a neighbor asked
him what he thought Of chautan'
qua. He said it didn't amount
to much so he did not go, there
was only one big tent. This only
goes to show that many do not
know what a chautauqua means.
One young lady was asked
several times if she would 60 to
chlautauqua. She kept on refus-
ing and finally said her minister
said it was not a tit thing to go to
There was a minister sent here
to have charge of the chautauqu

After much coaxing, buying
and scolding the children were
partially subdued during The

could listen to the splendid talks

SECOND ANNUAL, CHAU-
TAUQUA GREAT SUCCESS

The second annual chautau-
qua is over and all who attend
ed feel that it was two dollars
we'll spent. Ten programs were
given during which five splendid
lectures were heard and some
good music enjoyed. The Old
Home Singers and Chihnera g
band seemed to be, the two
programs liked the best. The
lectures by DIR. j. L. Gordon of
Winnipeg and Hon. B. F. Nc
Donald Of Cleveland, Ohio, were
very good. There are always som
who are disappointed in some Of
the programs, but that is human
nature. The entertainers can
not hope to please all but if the
majority like them lit speaks we'll
for the company. The programs
were clean, the majority were
educational and in all it was a
week we'll spent.
Before the chautauqna was
over the guarantors had signed
up for another year. Last year a
small sum had to, be asked from
the signers in order to fill the
contract. This year there was
some left after the contract was
paid; not much, but enough to
show that it was success fl
nancially and worth trying agai"a
The people Of Washburn who are
boosting the chautauqua are not
doing so for the money they
can make out Of it but to give
the people in this vicinity some
good clean entertainments.
Many feel that the success of
the chautanqua this year is due
almost entirely to one person,

Poetry is the voice of one crying in the wilderness of life. 1t is safe to say that all poetry in some degree re- veals it's creators nature, said Walter De La Mare, the young English poet whose book, "The Listener" has just been published. speaking yesterday af- ternoon before the members of the Courtland School Graduates associa- tion. MT. De La Mare, whose work is as yet little known in this country, is spoken of as one of the most prom ising poets of England. He came to this country to receive the Rowland prize. given annually by Yale for the best book of artistic poetry published during the year, and which this year was awarded to Rupert Brooke, the young poet who was killed in the war. MT. De La Mare was friend of Brooke and he will take back the prize to the poets mother in England.

CONNECTICUT co. TO
 ASK PERMISSION FOR
 SPUR IN WATER STREET

The Connecticut Co. will ask the next general assembly for permission to establish. a spur track through either Water street and Housaton1c avenue or through Middle street to connect with Congress street. The purpose of the new loop is to relieve traffic in Main street. New Havens Milford, Fort Trumbull Beach, Walnut Beach, and Devon cars will go over the loop instead of going through Main street as at present. In the summer time 1t is said that 400 subur- ban cars daily pass through Main street between Congress street and Fairfield avenue. In the winter about half that number go over the same route. Sending these cars through Middle or Water street would greatly relieve the traffic problem there, Gen. eral Manager Charles H. Chapman be- Neves.
 A plan is in the works to extend the Oak street line from Oak street and North avenue to Madison avenue through Madison avenue to Marion street.
 The company will also ask for aI two years extension of time in the franchise for building the trolley line from East Main street and Boston avenue, along East Main street and the Huntington pike to Nichols. Lack of funds is said to be the reason for the request for the delay in this con- struction of some six miles of railway line.
