Chautauqua Patrons GiUen
Pleasing Musical Treat In
Fillion Company Concerts

The Ftllion Concert company, one Of
tho Naf attractions of the Ellison
White chautauqua to appear upon the
platform yesterday, was reduced to two
members, through the illness Of the So
prano but If there had been forty in
the company It is doubtful if they
would have contributed more to the
pleasure Of the audience than was be-
slowed by the two artists, Ferdinand
Fillion and Miss Hilmars, with their
piano and violin numbers. Mr.. Fillion
is a rare genius, for he combines the
typical dash and brillianey of the
Frenehman the poise and precision Of
the Englshman; consequently he gives
the impression Of producing miracles
