 Plans Materializing. ..
 Plans for the big Chautauqua are going forward rapidly. The superin- tendent, Frank R. Ward, will arrive tomorrow: the Junior superintendent is here and the conferences with the local chairmen of the various com- mittees are being held in rapid sue cession. By the time the big tent reaches the grounds Saturday morn- ing every item on the program and every detail of the plan will have been finished to the last particular, and a smooth-running series of meetings will carry the local people through a round of musical. dramatic and intel lectual entertainment which will be remember until another years Chautauqua displaces it.

 Chairman Leon A. Sprague, of the ticket committee, reports that the sale is picking up. Certain portions of the city will be canvassed and tickets are on sale at Dickinson's and Crowells drug stores and the Cham Der of Commerce. Orders telephoned to the latter place are delivered by messenger.
 Both the adult and junior season tickets are included in the guaran- tors sale. The sale of season tickets ends at noon on Saturday. When the ticket office at the tent is opened Saturday afternoon the Chautauqua management assumes control of all receipts-which will be for single admissions only.
 Mrs. A, G. Kimball, the chairman of the Junior Chautauqua, is rapidly forming her plans. On Saturday af- ternoon, after the little folks have listened to the Dunbar quartet and bell ringers, she and the two Chau taunua leaders will organize the chill
