and the Association of Commerce
feels that it has conferred benefit
upon Covington in bringing enter
tainment of such high order to the
town. It has been both instructive
and amusing. The Chautauqua peo-
pie have not only4amused and In
structed us. but they have won our
esteem for their cleanness, intell-
gence and genial, social qualities.
The Redpath Chautauqua will take
with them the good wishes of the
people of Covington.

Ethel Bougere did excellent work in
the sale of tickets for the Associa-
