At Siloam Springs, Benton Co., Arkansas, another Chautauqua has been established. A joint stock company, with ample capital, has been organized, and a state charter secured. Prof. E. Dolgoruki was elected director-general. Siloam Springs is a place of 2,000 inhabitants, near the southwest corner of the state, one mile from Indian Territory. An amphitheater large enough to seat 2,500 persons is in process of erection, and efforts are being made to secure a good and diversified program for the coming session, which opens June 11, 1885, and continues three weeks.
In the March number of The Chautauquan, among the errata, appears the following: “Arann, the Rev. J. M., not Araun.” It seems it is not right yet; it should be Avann.
