CHESTER HEIGHTS CAMP MEETING.


% train left here at half past six o'clock A.
,e NJ, for Chester Heights Camp Meeting.
1t There were not as many from Port as had
" been expected, Notwithstanding tho fare
e was reduced to two dollars and ten cents
e for the trip. Your reporter thinking the
It trip would be pleasant, accompanied those
S who went from here. The morning, as all
S will remember, was delightful one, and
t as the train glided hurriedly and nosely
It along, there was very pleasant breeze to
e drive away drowsiness and sleep. The
train stopped at all stations on this road.
Arrived at the camp at about nine forty
, five.
The grounds are situated about quarter
r of mile from the station, and the road
being thronged with persons and vehicles
continually, are very dusty indeed. There
r are over two hundred tents and cottages.
The cottages are next the stand and are
very pretty, being about twenty feet in
: height, twelve in width and twenty deep.
In front of each, at the upper door, there
is beautiful portico, and they are painted
various colors, with green shutters. The
tents are of every size and shape most, but
are mostly of canvas. There is a steam
engine short distance from the ground
which forces the water up to the reservoir,
from whence it runs through pipes to vari-
Gus parts of the ground.
The morning sermon was preached by
DIR. kynett, of Philadelphia. The after
noon sermon was by the Rev. Pencil
Coombes The crowd in the afternoon was
immense. The Port excursion train left
the grounds at five o'clock, reaching here
at S P. II.

SCARCITY OF WATER. we
There is great talk about the scarcity of ret
