WANT cHAUTAUoUA AGAIN.
Nearly 70 on List of Guarantors for
 Next Year-CIosing Features.

The five joyous days of Cha utauqua closed Saturday, leaving those who had attended the course feeling that they had received triple the amount of money expended. Nothing superior to Chautauqua has ever visited this town. and the desire for it's return was shown when Dr. c. H. Jennings came to the platform and handed Superintendent next year. The list has increased to nearly 70 and is| still growing. Dr. Jennings and H. c. Webster have the contract to be signed. Four hundred and fifty tickets have already been subscribed for, not including children.
 Saturday afternoon the children. who have been under Miss Duncan's training for the five days: presented the play The Good Fairy Thrift, and for the little time allowed ir prepara- ton it was remarkably well done. Ellen Faust was Good Fairy Thrift, Beatrice Alley was Martha Washing Washington, Mother Spend was Mil dred Olson: Father Spend. Harold Faust: May Spend. Verna Rail-; Will Spend, Lynwood Mort; The Savings Bank was Bernard Wechsler: Albert Brewster represented soldier; Ed ward Faust was the mayor, with Ellen Prior and Doris Carpenter as citizens. The fairies who brought good gifts to Baby America were Ruth Ballou Kath- leen DearnIey, Mildred Sweet, Nellie Hobart. Doris Auclair and hE1iza bet Armstrong.
 The Japanese girls were Mildred McCluggage Mildred Olson. Yvonne Hourigan, Beatrice Alley. Bertha Davis Alice Armstrong and Georgette La bonne, and there were 22 Dutch chill dren. David Ballou was Uncle Sam, and Ida Marion the Fairy Watchfu1- ness Miss Alice Gilbert played the acconpa nirnents.
 Then the boys did number of good stunts which they had learned during the five days. The concerts both af- ternoon and evening by the Granville Hines company. baritone and pianist, were of the best class of music. The former artist is one of the most popu- lar concert artists of the Edison Pho nograph company The latter was a Francisco competition for an Ameri- can written opera. He composed the music for the play given by the chil- dren in the afternoon.
 The play The Man from Home was presented by Avon players in the even ing. By many it was called the best entertainment in the course.
