THE APPROACHING CAMP-MEETING.
Some New DEVELOPMENTS.

The WashiDgt Grove camp-meeting was much
talked OF about the several Methodist churches
yesterday. 1t is currently reported that an unex-
pected delay in the shipment Of some sixty six
tents from Baltimore Will seriously incommode
some folks who will go to camp on Wednesday
morning expecting to find their canvas homes all
ready to receive the housekeeping articles. The
delay in the shipment of these tents is an ac-
knowledged fact, but whether they will not be
pitched and ready for occupation on Wednesday
morning is a matter which can only be determined
by the action Of the tent committee having the
erection q II ths faDerPssis IN charge; Inc delayed
camp ground to-day, and should the necessary
number of laborers be put to work, without re-
the morning Of the 4th, the time set for the cot-
mencement Of camp. This is the contract Of the
association with every individual tent-renter, and

exeTtions, the association must expect the grum-
bling of previous year on this account repeated.
hours, twenty men can erect one hundred, and
double this force should be provided, If neees-
sary.
Printed notices to the several churches yester-
day announced an important
CHANGE OF FREIGHT ARRANeENENTs,
as previously promulgated. The supply commit.
tee, having charge Of the shipment Of freight,
railroad compony, and they will be placed in posi-.
tIon at point on the Metropolitan branch OF the
road at First street, between G and H streets,
this point and between these hours all camp bag
gage must be delivered for shipment. There will
be no prepayment on the freight as previously
announced. Every package must be distinctly
marked with the name OF the owner and name Of
station to which he or she belongs. The several
city charges will have separate cars upon the
tracks plainly labeled, and It is expected some
duly authorized man from each church will be
present during the day to superintend the loading
Of the baggage of his particular church.
1t is but due to Messrs. E. F. Simpson and r.
T. Willett, Of the tent committee, to suppose that
their characteristic energy and interest In the
camp matters will guarantee that all the tents
Will be in readiness for occupation on Wednesday
morning, If IT is within the line of possibility.
