The prayer was followed by q hymn, then
prayer again and still another hymn. Then were
the usual shrieks and 'groans and declarations
from the excited throng, as one by one they sob
bingly announced that they had found God.
This ended the scene for the lOokers-on. The
emotional part Of the play was over, and as they
had come only for that they departed A few

The sanetihed gipsies last night closed the
series Of meetings which they have Tor the past
week been holding in their canvass tabernacle
on Sizth-street lot. Like the previous sessions
last nights was . success Is far IS numbers went,
and like its predecessors It Vas Noticeable for the
utter hek Of that spirit Of Christianity which
should pervade all religious meetings In fact, Of
the four thousand present It Il safe to say that not
two hundred were present TO take part In the sx-
ereises In q Christian spirit. They went there to
be amused at the antics Of those who under the
strain-sf the immense excitement they helped to
produce, shrieked and sobbed their belief that
they had found salvation They looked upon it
as askind Of circus, with the lights and spangles

AS q religious meeting Il vas 9 failure, but as
q financial effort It was success. They did not
charge an admission fee, but before each meeting
they did a lively piece Of begging, and met WITH
hearty 1eturns. TO make calculation: For the
past ten days they have had three meetings daily,
at which there was an average attendance of
three thousand. 1t Is certain that the collection
at each meeting was not less than one hundred
dollars, which would make for the season three
thousand Collars.

resident OF this city had with him visiting friend
who on the day referred to had taken q little
more wine than was good for the stomach's sake.

mourners it became so great that he was obliged
to suspend, threaten TO close the show, order the
audience to dispense, send out his assistant TO
