THE CHAUTAUQUA.

Steelman- Mariner Taylor Trio.
This musical organization seemed
to take well with the audience and all
numbers were encored heartily. Miss
| Steelman's solos were especially
pleasing.
| A. Mather Hilburn.
! Mr.. Hilburn is remarkable i'm
! personator and his limitations of an
old negro preacher and an Arkansaw
office seeker are among the classics.
! Margaret Garrison.
| Miss Garrison's readings pleased
the audience. Each number was pro-
nounced good by competent judges.
Glenn l.. Morris Co.
| Mr.. Morris gave very interesting
electrical demonstrations and discus
sed them ina manner to indicate that
he is thoroughly at home in his field
The radio concert, however, was a fiz-
zle, conditions not being right and
there being too much interference.

heard and enjoyed.
'Private" Peat.
| This noted writer, whose book has
been read by nearly everyone, was re-
ceived as an old friend and neighbor
in good standing in the community,
and his lecture, Introducing Your
Neighbour" (Canada,) was ably de-
livered and scholarly, not withstand
ing his modest acknowledgment of in
ability to talk with the force he felt
one burdened with more years might
carry. "Private" Peat's claim that
the horrors of war ought to be taught
in the schools of the world, instead of
its "glories," so that the youth may
feel that it is degrading instead of
clarifying, strikes a responsive chord
in every breast. He suggests that a
conference be called at Washington
and textbooks to be used the world
over be written, intoxicating a horror
of war.
The Tamburicans.
This is musical organization Of
high talent and they give a splendid
entertainment. The five stringed in
struments in the hands of such ac-
complished musicians drive away all
care and the audience calls them back
time and again.
Arthur Walwyn Evans.
This native of Wales, silver
tongued and snappy by turns, holds
an audience "till the cows come
home," and imparts lot of sound
sense and advice along with amusing
stories, quibs and base ball enthusi-
asm. Mr.. Evans is naturalzed citi-
zen Of the United States, and, though
born and educated across the water,
enters into the spirit of Americanism
Fundamentally and is exercising
great influence for moral uplift, bet
ter education and higher ideals.
DIR. Lydia Allen De Vilbiss.
This talented woman drove home
how oldfashioned and unpopular it is
today to be sick. Her lecture was one
of interest throughout. She interest
ed young and old and held the atten-
ton of all; humorous at times and en-
PERTAINING and instructive all the
| time, her discourse, demonstrations
and forum must be regarded as CON
shutting one of the best numbers of
the course.
Keighley Broadway Players.
''Turn to the Right" heralded as
one of the greatest American plays,
was hardly up to expectations though
it was good and was heartily ac-
claimed. There was an incongruity in
the cast: two hardened old criminals
in one act can hardly be accepted by
an audience as blithesome lovers in
another.
Batting Mailer Duo.
These ladies appeared to be great
favorites with the audience The read
err was splendid and the soloist good.
Chancellor George II. Bradford.
This sturdy old educator is one of
The most earnest and sound lecturers
it has been our fortune to hear. Com
ing from country stock, profoundly
religious and grand in his patriotism
the chancellor carries conviction with
every sentence and drives home the
Importance of education and the ease
with which it may be had if there is
true desire for it. America ought to
have more such forceful preceptors.
New York City Concert Quartet.
Four talented men who occasionally
interrupt the encore, or we might say,
added little zest to tiff that were
