CHAUTAUQUA IS
 TO BE HELD IN JULY
(From Fridays Daily.)

A Redpath Cnautauqua program, covering a series of 20 big features, will be given in Prescott this Sum- mer. The program will probably start July IS and will continue for seven consecutive days. Final ar engagements were completed last night at a meeting of representative citi- zens, held at the Chamber of Com merce.
 Miss Verna Vastine, a representa- tive of the Redpath Bureau, explain ed the conditions of the Chautauqua and gave those present some good advice on how to conduct their end of the details. She promised that every entertainment on the program would be strictly first-class.
 There was practically no opposition to the plan of holding the Chautauqua. Everyone present was confident that it would be a success. LcRoy Ander son was the first to come out strong for the plan, pledging Sl00 as his share Of the guarantee fund. Others present were equally enthusiastic and in a short time, during which all spoke in favor of the plan. the matter was placed before the meeting in the form of a resolution and received a unanimous vote.
 The following committee was ap- pointed to consult the citizens Of Prescott regarding their willingness to stand back of the guarantee fund. about S2.O00, should there be any def icit: H. H. Linney, w. H. Timer half. Frank Whisman and E. J. Nit chell. The members of this commit tee will start out at 9 o'clock this morning to secure signatures for tho fund and is confident that the nec- essary number of patrons will be se' cured within few hours.
 There is little doubt but what the Chautauqua can be held without any deficit resulting. The Redpath Bur eau will furnish everything for the week of entertainment except site for the tent. seating facilities and the use of a piano. A guarantee must be given of Sl 800 from the sale of season tickets. and the bureau will get all over this amount that is taken in from the sale of seats for single performances. If the committee sells more than S1.SOO worth of season tickets, however, all above that amount will be kept here.
 Although unable to give the exact events that will be brought here for the Chautauqua, Miss Vastine prom ised that the program would include the appearance of several prominent lecturers. a performance of The Melting Pot" the Ben Greet players. Julius Ceasar. a Greek nobleman, a famous Italian military band. a violin soloist and other equally attractive features.
 Season tickets for the entire course will be sold for $ each. Arrange ments will be made whereby 1t will be much cheaper to purchase season tickets than to pay for each perform ance.
 One of the principal questions, which arose over bringing the Chau- tauqua here in July was: Will it in terfere with the Frontier Days cele' bration?" After the regular meeting, the committee in charge of the Chau' tauqua talked the matter over with Chairman Ed. Kastner, of the cele- bration committee, and matters were arranged so that neither of the at fractions will conflict with the other.
 With the Frontier Days celebration, July 4, 5. 6 and and the Chautauqua during the week of July IS, Prescott will be able to provide plenty Of en- tertainment for its hundreds of Sum- mer visitors. The striking difference between the two will furnish an at traction for both the fun-seeker and he or she who wants entertainment that is at the same time of educa- tional benefit.
 The Chautauqua course will not be "dead" by any means. for even on the afternoons when lectures are given, half of the program will be given over to musical numbers. The Chau- taunua will be advertised throughout Northern Arizona, and the committed in charge is confident that July will be the banner month in Prescott's history as the playground of Ari- zona."
