Vincent’s shoulders, and he speaks
.with the vigor and effectiveness lack
lng In many a much younger man. He
paid. Albany a memorable visit when
the Georgia Chautauqua was Ip Its
first year, and Is a peculiarly welcome
guest tills week. He Is the honored
founder of the mother Chautauqua at
Chautauqua, N. Y„ and a man whoBe
'influence has been strongly felt for
years In the moral, educational and
religious affairs’of the country.
Ralph Bingham Is the same yester
day, today and tomorrow. In other
words, he Is Just—Ralph Bingham.
There Is no other man on the plat
form available for comparison when
Bingham Is ander discussion, as he Is
a dlstlntly exclusive kind of a genius.
And although Bingham Is the same
kind of a mortal enemy to the bines
wherever he goes, those who have
heard him oftenest are the ones al
ways most clamorous to hear him
again.
A fine andlence heard him at the au
ditorium yesterday afternoon. He kept
everybody laughing while he was en
gaged In that kind of business, and
varied the program by playing his fa-
mous yellow-hack violin and singing
as only Bingham can sing. His after
noon will he remembered as a partic
ularly bright spot In the week of the
Eighteenth assembly.
