The dates have been definitely arranged with practi cally all the speakers and amuse ment people, and within a few days replies are expected for the unfilled dates. The entire program is almost ready for the printer and by the first of next week will be placed in the hands of the printer. The program this year promises to be one of the most entertaining and instructive ever presented to the peo ple and embraces every form of edu cational entertainment, including some of the foremost platform lec turers in the world. The capacity of the camping facili ties will probably be taxed to full ca pacity. Already President Billings is being asked for reservations and he expects before the first of the month to have the camping grounds well as signed. Those who desire to secure camping sites should make their in tentions known as soon as possible. The Chicago Glee Club, to appear July 7 and 8, is one of the finest of Us kind on the Chautauqua and lyce um circuits. As a male quartet the club remains unsurpassed. The per sonnel has been unchanged In thir teen consecutive seasons. They have introduced the trombone quartet. The trombone is "king" of wind instru ments and the effect of the four, as played by these artists, is a revela tion of sweet tonal quality and organ like volume. Such selections as the Pilgrims' Chorus from Tannhauser by Wagner, the quartet from Rigolette by Verdi and the March Militaire by Schubert appeal to the most critical, while lighter selections lend a desir able variety. Mr. Dixon, one of the club, is a reader of great ability. Al' his character impersonations are pre sente din makeups. His types are taken from life wholesome, refresh ing, real, never overdrawn or exager- ated. Another of the high-grade musical attractions to appear in the coming Chautauqua assembly is the Castle Square Entertainers, July 15. Their repertoire is extensive, and comprises selections which have won favor from musical critics and from popular au diences. A number of humorous songs, full of life and action, enliven their program, which Is replete with quartets, duos, trios, solos, whistling solos, readings, Irish monologues, etc., making a great variety of enter taining specialty features. The com pany comprises a first-class popular male quartet, each one a sollst well schooled In dramatic art, an enter taining reader, a superb whistling soloist, and Irish monologlst and two pianists, so they are prepared to build a p'ogram of unusual variety and Interest. Mr. Wardoll, the reader, Is equally at homo In the dramatic fire of "The Witch Song" or in the rapid humor of "Sofle Jackowbowski," and the dash and sparkle of his humorous work Is unusually effective. Mr. Thornburg presents an attractive novelty In his whistling solos. He Is a thoroughly educated musician and has arranged some of the numbers presented by the company. Mr. Hum phrey, bb tenor soloist, does some especially goofl work In his well chosen selections, rendered with care ful attention to the dramatic side of the singer's art. Mr. Grant, the basso, has a splendid voice and a de lightfully entertaining Irish brouge, both of which he uses with great ef fect In his dashing monologue of Irish folk songs and witticisms, and never fails to arouse enthusiasm. The Cas tle Square Entertainers, on account of their great versatility, are particu larly well adapted to Chautauqua work. Their reperjoire fs sufficient for a week, without repeating a num ber. In Paris soft collars 'are fashionable for men, and how pretty they will look when they get to wearing Dutch necks. Northbound. .
