BELONGS EIGHTH
CHAUTAUQUA IS
TO OPEN FRIDAY
TICKET SALE is REPORTED TO
BE BETTER THIS YEAR
THAN EVER BEFORE

The big seven day Redpath chau-
tauqua opens Friday afternoon at 2.3O
o'clock in the auditorium tent which
is being erected at the corner OF
Main and Alderman streets.
The Oceanic Concert Company will
be the opening attraction. Five tai
ented vivacious artists compose this
company which gives a program OF
great variety combining special nov
city, instrumental and vocal features.
Every number is given with a bright
ness and sparkle which will make
the company long remembered IN
Belding.
The night program will begin at
8:15. The Oceanic Concert Company
will give musical prelude of thirty
minutes, after which Montaville
Flowers, eminent publicist, will give
his great lecture, America Looking
Ahead. Montaville Flowers is one
of the great lecturers on the Lycenm
and Chautauqua platform today. He
surprises his hearers with a sweep
of facts which has escaped the at
tention of all but the closest students
of world affairs. 1t it up-to-the-
minute, is absolutely non-political, is
just the kind of discussion that the
good patriotic citizen is yearning to
hear. 1t appeals to business men.
Mr.. Flowers is a striking type of
the constructive mind. He personi-
fies action, He seeks results; his
lecture is not an end in itself but sets
up clear goal for national aim, and
stimulates united purpose to attain
it.
The childrens hour will start Sat
urday morning at 1000 o'clock and
begin at the same hour each morn
ing. This is free to the children OF
Belding.

BELD|NG-REMUS
BALL GAME WAS
ONE.S|DEO AFFAIR
LOCALS HAD VISITORS OUT
CLASSED. GAME WAS LIKE
SLAUGHTER OF INNOCENTS

In one sided contest, Belding de-
feated Remus, Sunday, by the score
of II to 0. The visitors were com
pletely outclassed both in the he.
and at the bat. This was the fir
time this season that Remus suffered
a shut-out and only the third game
they have lost.
The boys jumped onto pitcher Let's
for two runs IN the first inning,
which would have been enough, but
not wishing to take any chances they
pounded out seven more in the fifth
when Cross was sent in TO stop the
slaughter In the next frame the To-
calls annexed three more which
made an even dozen and helped re-
venge the to 4 defeat they handed
us "a few weeks ago at Remus.
Sauer pitched great game and
only in one inning was he in danger
of being scored on. The boys all
played good game and made a fine
impression on Scout Davis who was
in the stand. He was we'll pleased
with the work of some of the players
and will undoubtedly keep an eye on
them.
A big crowd was in attendance and
appeared to enjoy the treatment we
passed out to our visitors.

next Saturday, August 9th.
Thursday, August 4th the Belding
merchants will meet the Belding
club at Leonard park. I his game is
for the purpose of raising funds to
repair the grand stand and grounds,
and it is hoped that a large crowd
will turn out.
The merchants report that they
are in good condition and that the
city club will know they have been
through a game. Rev. FIR Klich will
start in the box with MacKercher in
reserve. Altman will do the receiv-
ing. Mooney will probably pitch for
Belding with Simons behind the bat
A fifty cent donation instead of

last week, will be asked Don't miss

The Elks won the B. P. o. z. cham
pionship of the state last year and

Belding lost a game at Freeport,
last Thursday by the score of a to 8.
The local club was slightly crippled
as three members were unable to go,
and as result errors played prom

support would have been an easy
winner. Freeport plays here in Sep
