Brookhurst.
The recitals were given by Miss
Claire Brookhurst, contralto:. Mr..
Max Gegna, 'cellist; Mr.. Axel
Skjerne. pianist, who were very
generous in responding to the hearty
applause accorded them by the aud
fence. Mr.. Gegnas cello playing
charmed everyone and his instru-'
ment is one of very fine quality, be-
ing valued at fourteen thousand dol
lars. Miss Brookhurst has a sp'cn-
did contralto voice and her numbers
were all greatly enjoyed. After her
closing number the audience was so
persistent in it's applause that she
gave several encores, the last one
Icing at The End of a Perfect Day,
which she sang beautifully.
At the close Of the Thursday af-
ternoon's Chautauqua program the

nounced the winners to be Lynette
Manter, first prize, a fountain pen
and Leah Washburn and Elizabeth
Brown, little step sisters, who made
a poster together. the second prize,
an ever-sharp pencil. The posters
after being judged were placed in
the shop windows. The first prize
poster in the window Of Atkinson's
on Water street, and the second prize
poster in the window at Togg's Drug
