The first number of Chautauqua SER
les of entertainments was presented
before one of the largest crowds that
has ever filled the Liberty theater
| Wednesday evening. The initial at
traction, or alleged attraction, was the

majors. Possibly we have not been edu-
Gated up to this class of amusement,

more applicable the stuff. The next
four numbers will be made up of lee
lures by noted and capable lecturers
and two musical numbers that will be
real treats.
