' With Oceans of Mirth
tion. The crowd was on its feet and
I demonstrating its nearty accord in a
moment. Then came the Castle Square
entertainers and their long list of
screamed for more, and when the en
tertainers were not on the rostrum
there was a veritable riot demadning
encores. The entertainers did their
best and how they succeeded can best
be attested to by those who heard
them. It was not entirely in the new
ness of the program that the team ex
cells, but It is in the way they do
things. Irish monologues, imitations
of Padcrewski. the "Baseball Medley,"
Indian costume selection, "Good
Mornln' Cy." (executed with sider
splitting effect), were some of the
features of the comic "stuff", and
musical stunts, whistling solos, read
ings and the like filled in with splen
did effect. That the. quartette mas
ters the classic was shown In their
rendition of T Trovatore." This mas
terpiece was very ably handled.
Like everything else that the Chau
tauqua offered the public, the Castle
Snuare entertainers are superb. La
Grande is always in love with music
that smacks of the popular melodies,
but the four men simply captivated
captured and then carried away with
a whirl of music every man. woman
and child that was in and around the
auditorium tent last night.
Marblehead Race.
Boston, Mass., July 14. Tomorrow

and the finish at Bay Ridge, Brook
lyn, a distance of 285 nautical miles.
While the race does not compare with
the Bermuda contest aB to distance
the much larger number of entries
gives it greater interest.

thusiasm, the Grande Ronde Chautau

the Castle Square entertainers faced
the largest crowd that has at any one
time assembled in and around the
Chautauqua auditorium. The aud

devoted time and money for months
to make the affair a success, and the
appreciation felt by the public was re
