The Chautauqua has been a splendid success and the people of this city have received instruction that, will certainly prove-- ' of great value to them. The lecturers that were brought to the city were of the highest order and each had something to give to tbe people. Dr. Sutcliffe won the friendship of the people of this city by his genial personality and the way he conducted the Chautauqua and his brief talks-anlectures were certainly among the ranking numbers on tbe list. We certainly, hope that It will be the good fortune of the people of Provo" to get him'back, "' There are some things, however, that need criticism and the people of Provo are entitled to just a little better treatment than that accorded to them by some members of the Chautauqua. The band reported to be the New York Marine band proved to be a combination of very cheap Italians, whp, although they were able to give a very presentable concert In Italian music, were far below many bands in this section of the country. While here they hunted for the cheapest meals to be purchased - (those who didn't buy bread and cheese) and because they could not get 25 cent beds, 'slept on the benches at tbe depot until the train came to take them out of the city. Such' methods may he fitting for New York bands, but we doubt it very much. ' Another thing which caused criticism among local - people -- waa the - faet-ththe management Insisted npon the 'payment of $108, although the, gate re celpts were, far above the guarantee made by members of the committee and though it may be adopted by Chautauquas. it certalnlv is not that of good business.' Anotber thing which does not appeal to some people is the fact that the Chautaqua was permitted to give a week's entertainment and to charge good prices while the city received no license. We believe that these things are good for the city, but we also believe that they are just as - - aU - the-meth- -- J return. trip wil' 'leave Salt Lake" aJ 5 p. m. j -- 1 , The people of the seven stakes tft Salt Lake- - City and county-- have consented to furnish the picnic for this occasion- .- And merchants and other prominent people of Salt Lake have generously donated of their means to bear the expense of providing other refreshments, such as ice cream nnft ' lemonade, to be distributed during; the day among the aged guests.
