CAPT. GRANT LEADS IN ,s
 CHAuIAuQuA TICKET SALES

When the final returns of the ChauT tauqua ticket committee were avail, able, it was found that Norwich Town had beaten all the other districts in ticket selling, their total being 132 tickets, which is a record worthy of their captain. Miss Bessie M. Grant, who is a very enthusiastic Chautau- quan, and her able assistants. .f It is interesting to find that the first ticket was sold by the Norwich Town team, to Miss Anna Ely, and the same team also sold the last ticket availa- ble to George F. Hyde. The first jun for ticket was sold to Robert Peale Burke of Lafayette street, who had earned the money for it. and the last ! junior ticket was taken by Miss Mary Wagner of Norwich Town. who had l ~iso earned her dollar. Norwich has esta ablished quite a remarkable record in junior tickets so that the Chautau- | qua Association has found it neces- sary to send on two junior superin- ! tendents to have charge of the chil- i ,lren's meetings which will be held on | the Academy campus each morning. with the exception of Sunday. from g to Il o'clock. It goes without saying that the juniors are looking forward to the week of July 4th to 10th quite as eagerly as the older people, as the programme promises to be of a very /! nigh order, and one which will be in structive as well as entertaining fol l both the adult and junior ticket hold I CTS.
