TENT CITY STRUCK;
CHAUThUQUA CLOSES

Monday morning was the scene of
a general moving out program at the
Chautauqua grounds. the end of two
weeks of one of the most successful
chautauquas ever held in Richmond.
Gate receipts were about even with
those Of last year. it is thought. but
the steady stream every day was
stronger han that of a year ago. From
Senator James Watson's address on
the first Sunday until the closing adj
! dress of the Rev. Charles w. Whit
man last evening the attractions were
appreciated. Men of brillianCe and
fame appeared on the stage, and
musical organizations of ability. Note
worthy also was the appearance OF
Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout pres dent
OF the Illinois Women Equal Suffra &c
organization.
Never had the headquarters tent
been buster or the grocery store tent
moro largely patronized, it was said
Patsy and the lunch counter both re-
ceived patronage from a large number.
Seating capacity in the big tent ow-
ing to the installation of several new
benches this season was adequate 10
the crowds upon most occasions this
season.

Thrills for Oxford Crowd

OXFORD, O., Aug. 31-Lieut. Ed
ward Rodefeld, pilot for the Cheno-
weth Aviation company, OF Richmond

Saturday, which were greatly enjcypu
by large crowd Of people. He took
up a number of passengers, including
several women, all of whom VXpreSstu
themselves as delighted with travel
in the air.
Perhaps the most highly entertained
passenger, in more ways than one,
was Harry S. Thobe, a local contract
or. Thobe told Lieut. Rodefeld thai
he wanted all the thrills he had in
stock that he was willing to paw
extra for them. And he got en-.
When the aviator made a straight
drop of about 1000 feet, headed for
the top of a business block. the crowd
thought he had lost control OF the
plane. and Thobe wondered whethe-
1t would hurt when he struck OF
whether he would "go" quickly.
Applications for flights were SC
numerous that the members Of the
avia ton party remained over Sunday
and it was stated last night that they
would probably stay over today, in
order to accommodate everybody Who
wanted to fly.
While in the village tho members
of the party were entertained by DR.
and Mrs. R. Harvey Cook, at the OK
ford Retreat.
