It Is quite ovldout from Koucrnl commont that this season' attractions did not appeal to tho masses as did that of last year, yet tho numbers this seafon were good. Tbo lecturers wars all that could bo asked in fact 'aomo porforrcd the lectures of thla season to last. Tho music was of a higher clnss as a "wholo this season last your tit.) music was more popular and took well. Tho proportion of another organ isation bringing us a Chautauqua program.
