1t will give pleasure, The En-
terprise believes, to the majority
of those who attend our chautau-
qua 10 learn that the big tent will
this year be pitched uptown, with
in few rods of the business sec
tion and near the heart of the
city, according to the decision of
the local chautauqua association
Mt n meeting on Monday evening.
Since it WAS learned that the
grandstand at the fair grounds
had been barred by Manager lIor-
Ger, because of the numerous
complaints by the performers who
found it exceedingly difficult to
make themselves heard by grand
stand audiences, the local commit
tee had been casting about for a
more convenient location for the
big tent and this they were en-
abled to provide when Mesdames
Best and Van Buskirk gave them
permission to use the 500 block
on South Main street. the former
site of the big tabernacle.
This location is now in readi-
ness, the chautauqua crew is now
preparing seats and other access
sories and assurance is given that
our chautauqua patrons will be as
comfortably seated and be able to
see and hear the performances to
better advantage than ever be-
fore.
