Platform Manager.
President H. M. Crooks, of Albany

practically the entire platform control

having already been selected for the

cises. The position of platform mana

every phase of the program, and to
expediate the same. President Crooks
is well fitted for this responsible posi
tion and will take a special Interest in
doing good work at the Albany Chau
tauqua from the fact that he has been
a warm advocate of the Chautauqua In
tnis city tor some time past.
