Miss HOllle Kinney, representa-
tive of the Vawter Chautauqua was a
visitor here Wednesday and awakened
lot of new chautauqua enthusiasm,
by voluntarily offering a revised con-
tract for this season that the local
supporters and hackers feel a much
better prospect for success, and q
more favorable basis upon which to
operate. -
There wills be a reduction in the
price Of the season tickets, which will
be $500 for the total cost. The con-
tract itself is of cooperative nature,
and is considered by the hackers here
to be the most favorable ever offered.
Briefly speaking, this new contract
provides for an equal division between
the management and the local hackers,
of all receipts in excess Of $3.50. This
includes receipts from both the adj
vance sale of season tickets and the
gate money.
This arrangement has put new life
into the local underwriters and all
feel that the present season ought to
show a decided increase over the last
with the new contract in operation,
which links us in more definite and
advantageous way with the general
management.
