OUR BAND AT CHAUTAUQUA.
It was on a Monday that six of our
party, three cooks, drum major and two
band members started for Gladstone
Park. It was their duty to go there first
and make all the arrangements for the
whole party. In the afternoon the rest of
the party arrived and found things in a
very good condition.
The next day we were on the program
for three concerts. All were given and
from, the very start great praise was
given us by the directors of the Chau
tauqua. All of the other days we were
on for two concerts excepting Sunday,
and only one sacred concert was .given
Sunday.
We always had the whole morning to
ourselves with the exception of a detail
made each day to carry wood and meet
the train for provisions. We spent our
spare time in the morning playing ball,
'long hfcir vs. ball heads," until it was
hot and we were all tired, then we
would go off for the river for what
pleasure was there.
After dinner we would get read7 for
the first concert, which was at 1:15 in
the afternoon, and after the concert were
off to the river again and then we
would come back just in time to see the
ball game. They had good games there
nearly every day.
After our second concert, which was at
7:15, we would enjoy the different pro
grams. There were many interesting
programs given there. We had the pleas
ure of hearing the Knickerbocker quar
tet, tne best in the state of California;
the Keller sisters, a great soprano vocal
ist and pianiste; Packard, the cartoonist;
Montavilla Flowers, the elocutionist, and
there was not a person on the program
that can be too highly praised.
Joe Dillstrom was the cook, Simon
Mathews and Eugene Williams washed
the dishes.
