Mr.. EDIToR: !Sir-At meeting Of the
judges Of tho recent regatta they declined to
give either the Brunette or G. W. Harrison the
second prize, for the recson that they padded
their own canoe, which was proven to thoir (the
judges) entire satisfaction. Now, Mr.. Editor,
think It no moro than .:ght and just, according
to the rules Of boat racing, that the next boat
in should be entitled to the prize.
As II Is q well-known fact that tho Grey
hound was the next boat to the Harrison and
Brunette, therefore think she is entitled to tho
scond prize.

CAMP MEETING IN SPENCER COUNTY.
Editors Journal;
AS you were informed in my last,
the cainp-meeting above Grandyiew
was progressing finely. Itclosed to day.
Such meeting, in its results, has not
been held for many a year in these
parts. 2 There were two boarding es-
Establishments, where a good meal could
be had for twenty FIVE cents. Also,
four lemonade, ice-cream. and con-
fectiouery establishments, which were
open on week day and Sabbath, ex-
cept during the hours of religious
worship, and all seemed to be doing,
thriving business. A member of the
striped pole fraternity was also at
hand, with razor, brush, and scissors
to complete the arrangements of utili-
ty and convenience As to the moral
influence of allowing ali such places
to be kept open on the Sabbath day,
public opinion seems to be divided,
and as our own has not been asked,
we shall not, now, intrude it upon
your notice. Judged, however, IN the
light of its results, the practice can
not be very severely censured in this
particular instance. 4utxss.g
Without any special police force on
the ground, the meeting was held for
eleven successive days without a
single arrest, or an occasion for one,
while alt admitted that better order
they. had never seen at a camp-meet-'
ing. In the manifestations of Divine
power upon the. hearts of the people,
none have seen the equal in this gene
ration, so far as our knowledge ex-
tends. Between ninety and one hun
dred were enrolled as probationers in
the NJ f. Church. while probably a
greater number professed faith in
Christ. besides many who, being con-
WINGED of sin, were almost persuaded
to be Christians" On the second
Sabbath of the meeting, some
thirty or forty of the young
converts were baptised by affusion, and
it was really very pleasing and sol
emn scene. They were mostly young
persons; several were heads of fami-
lies; and one or two were almost
within the limited circle of child
hood Afterwards, these, along with
a large number of others, who had
been previously baptized, partook of
the Lords Supper, and this service
was conducted by the pastor, Rev.
G. f. Culmer, with great solemnity. I
At 10a AM, and also ata74 PM,
the pulpit was filed by Prof. o. II. |
Smith, of the Rockport Collegiate
Institute, in his usual able manner; |
indeed, the sermon in the morning
was mastery and deeply impressive |
discourse.

A social meeting was held, |

seemed willing to leave the sacred |

bered by all who were there.

waiian missionaries stationed on those
islands, After making a successful
trip, and touching again at Hilo,. the
Morning Star returned TO Honolulu,
on the 10th inst, thus having been
absent seyenty-fye days. One-third
part of the time was spent at the IS
lands visiting the different mission
stations and distributing the annual
supplies. While there the delegates
paid their respects to the French au-
thorities at Nukehiya, and were most
courteously received They also Wis
tied the schools taught by the
nuns and priests. and were much
pleased with the neatness and order
of those establishments. The dele
gates met the Hawaiian missionaries.
and held "a general meeting, atwhich
the interests and prospects of the
Mission were fully and thoroughly
discussed. As result of these de-.
alterations. it was decided to establish
two boarding schools, one for the
boys and another for the girls. About
thirty persons were also. admitted to
Church membership. This has been
a hard and difficult field of missionary
labor. and one which has severely
tested the patience and tried the zeal
of English. French and American
missionaries, but the Hawaiian mis-
sionaries have shown that their en-
ergy and perseverance, were equal TO
the task. So far from being willing
to yield up and retire, they manifest a
resolute determination to persevere,
until the islanders shall lay aside
their carnibal and idolatrous prac-
tees" -. Fl
