in their employ by calling on Mr.
W. H. Hitzhugh, or at the ticket of

At a conference of the board of
directors thie morning it was decid
ed to make additional efforts to stop
the noise in the rear of the audito
rium and just outside during the
night programs. A member of the
board stated to the Light that while
he believed the bad order was due
more to thoughtlessness than intent
to disturb, that it wa« nevertheless
a nuisance to tboie who carne to
hear, and would b^ stopped if dras
tic me»«ures wf-r« required to do it·
He stated that seats had been pro
vided in different parts of the park
for those who desired to talk, and
those conversationally inclined
would be expected to use them, or at
least keep quiet when in the audi
torium or seated near it. Most ot
the disturbance, this gentleman said,
came from those seated on the em
bankment surrounding the audi
torium, and was communicated to
thoee on the rear seats, finally
reaching all parts of the vast hall.
The Light trusts that good order will
prevail and that the board will not
be under the necessity of dealing
harshly with any one.
