The following program of the com-
ing Chautauqua, Kadcliffe, has been
handed The Leader with the reqbsst
to publish. This is the Chautauqua
that Stamford took on within the last
tew. years in lieu of the one they did
have, which was a seven day enter-
tainment, eg will be recalled. When
that Chautauqua i. as put on fof aevme
days it displeased many people, and,
to be perfectly in li l'e with their Ideas
of the things on Sunday they coaid
not be otherwise: An£ when it wae
even put on for six days it
to be too many, so the compromise
made on a short Chautauqua
of a long one.
Those who keep track of such
things characterize the RmdcUffe ft
good as any, aa far as it goes:
