CHAUTAUQUA PROVES D1
A BIG SUCCESS
P 1
The Radcliffe Chaotauqua pitched te
its tent inChesterfield last Saturday pa
and during its stay until Tuesday ev- ho
ening entertained crowds that filled Ft
every available seat and about all the o'<
standing roona In fact the Chautuqua
proved the big event of the year th
and it was very fullf enjoyed by all cn
who attended the entertainments. An tit
excellent program was provided for en
each afternoon and evening, a com- th'
plete change being given each day. (je
The financial success of the undertak
Ing was assured before the doors wj
were opened by the advance sale of
season ticktes that resulted from the fie
friendly competition of the two bri- tC]
gades of young ladies, under the col- W?
ors of Red and Blue. The Reds, under pa
the leadership of Miss Sarah Moore, j^i
won the first prize in this contest who
rereived an immense box. of sweets in p
recognition of her efforts. Miss Mat*
tie Gaddy, who led the Blues, won cy,
second prize, which was also a a box ,.u
of candy of goodly size. th,
On Sunday morning religious ser- ie.
vices of the churches of Chesterfield ^
were jointly held in the tent. wj,
On Sunday evening Dr. Wiliam E. sh<
Adams. dirni?tnr nf thn Ptiniitoiiniio
delivered one of hia famous patriot- Qf
ic-religious lectures which enthused rel
the large audience that came out to ^ci
hear him.
Dr. Adams during his several visits
to Chesterfield has become very ^Vi
popular with out citizens and it was,
therefore, a very easy matter, with gj,
the able assistance of Mr. C. C. Doug- ^ol
laso to make the necessary arrangements
for the Radcliffe organization ]ov
to appear here again next season. Ch
