 BACK CHAU7AUQUA Weeks Program Of Entertain.
 ments Begins on Saturday AT WALNUT HILL PARK
Thirty Guarantors Are Supporting Move and Expect Citizens, If They Enjoy This Entertainment, to do Likewise.

"1f the people of New Britain are in the least enthusiastic over Chautau. qua progress they can best demon strate that feeling through the pur- chase of season tickets" said A. c Kimbal, president of the Chauta uqus this morning in discussing the events which will open on Walnut Hill park next Saturday for a stalk of a week "A program has been arranged which calls for the best in music, lectures and entertainments, suitable for every person, whatever his tastes, and a means has been supplied for enjoy. ing every one of the twenty-five events at the cheapest possible cost throught the purchase of season tickets which are now on sale and will not be after the gates are open in the Chautauqua tent Saturday."
 Broad Scope of Program
 Tn the number of events is includ- ed lectures for the student of men and affairs drama, poetic recitations, a musical presentation and a number of better class acts similar to vaude- vile acts In addition. there is Chil- dren's chautauqua, or series of meetings for the youngsters which is a valuable educational factor and which they seem to enjoy. All of these things must be seen to be appreciated. and. once one session of the Cha autauqua has been attended, it is certain that the desire to go to others will arise. oH xLn portunity to the individual to visit several performances as each gate ad- mission to number amounts to great CT price than the season ticket which is used 2. few times. The fact that there will be no such tickets sold af- terthe Chautauqua open should cre- ate greater sale for them'
 Philanthropic Plan
 There is no great noney-making scheme in connection with the Chau- tauqua, it is sponsored by philan- thropic individuals who wish to give the people Of the country the best pos sible in music and entertainment. Every cent that comes in, over actual expenses, goes toward making the Chautauqua bigger and better for the succeeding year. Naturally the per- formers are paid salary but the officials in charge work for very mod crate sum and the expense incurred is not so great The affair is usually aided by a local committee in the town where it is to appear, which is the case in New Britain, thirty men having banded together and agreed to assume the expense, covering it by guaranteeing to sell a certain number of season tickets. Thus the public gains a chance to come to the support of the Chautauqua and the guarant providing it approves of the same by buying the tickets but this must be done before the doors open, as the season tickets must be sold before that time by the terms of the guaran- tee
 We have placed the sale of tickets in the hands of several people and, in order to make them more accessible have also put them on sale at -rowell's and Dickinson's Drug stores md with other merchants. where they nay be obtained before Saturday loon.
 Public Must Buy
 If the public approves of the Chau auqua. if it has pleasing memories of ast years entertainment it is urged o get behind the present affair before { is too late for the sale of season ickets, otherwise there may never be mother Chautauqua in New Britain. | Personally, believe the weeks enter ainment is desired by our people and hat the response to the sale, now hat the holiday has passed will be ,reat," said Mir kimball in conclu- ion.
