\ social meeting Of great power was held III the
Tabernacle Saturday evening, Mr.. Townsend OF
Damariscotta opening by an earnest prayer, fol
lowed by Mrs. Clark, who prayed for 4 revival OF
scripture justification and Of inward purity. Pres
ident Pratt suggested an experience meeting,
which brought out great number Of testimon-
ai..
The midnight tain from the East brought
large crowd who came upon the ground occupy
ing every sleeping accommodation. and there be-
ing many who could find no chance. 1t was i'm
possible for the police to keep perfect order, al
though there was trouble, excepting certain
uneasiness among those who could not sleep and
didn't know what else to do.
Sundsy morning dawned clear and quite cool
and at an early hour everybody was active, getting
ready for worship. A Love Feast was held at S
o'clock, in the Tabernacle, which was indeed
season Of UNUSUAL interest and power. More than
2000 people were present One hundred and
sixty-fve gave their testimony by speaking, and
several hundred more by rising.
The time having arrived for service at the
stand, which was conducted by Rev. George r.
Palmer of Orono, who read the hymn so for
heart to praise my God" and Rev. Mr. Bcal, also
of the East Maine Conference, read the scripture
lesson, and Rev. John Collins Offering prayer.
Mr.. Palmer spoke from the words Then shall the
heather know that | am the Lord, saith the Lord
God, when they shall see me enthroaed in your
hearts
The question OF opening the gates on the Sab
bath was the chief subject Of discussion among
the people, quite large number of persons hav-
ing demanded admission al the gates, but accord
ing to the rules Of the Association, which they
probably knew very well, they could not be adj
mitted. However, many scaled the fence. Pres-
Pratt explained the case at the opening of the
afternoon service.
The Association voted last year, Or sustained
the vote of previous years, that the gates should
be closed, and as the committee are controlled by
the higher authority of course the responsibility
rests neither on them or on the police 1t is indeed
difficult question to decide, for while it had the
desired effect of preventing Sunday excursion
parties to the ground, it necessarily excludes
those who would come for better purposes.
The sermon this afternoon was by Rev. W. T.
Jones, who delivered an excellent discourse from
the words, "Whereby arc given unto us exceed
great promises"
The day has indeed been perfect one, re.
CARDS weather, and everything has gone smoothly
and tremendously, even from the commenccm ent
of the campmeeting. QUINCY.
La dy Maud.
This remarkable horse, which won the at
Rochester, n. Y, on Wednesday last, in the mar
vcllous time of 2.lS4 . 49, PISS, is a native of
Maine. She is a dark brown mare; was foaled
June Is, 1867, and was bred by Col. Thomas S.
Lang. She was got by Gen. Knox, dam Mock
ing Bird a fast mare brought from New York by
Abner Barrows, got by the running horse Sabek
Maud trotted race at the Buffalo PARK, August s,
1872, winning in three straight heats in 229 a
2.2994 and 2.274. Oct. 10, 1872, she won match
cd race for 5000 at Prospect Park, beating Lu-
ellie Golddust She won the first, third and fourth
tastes, time ever made by any horse of the same
ages years old. In 1873 she was bred to Jay
Gould. Her performance at Rochester is truly Won
derful and has never been equaled by any horse in
the world save Goldsmith Maid and Gloster; and
only seven horses have ever trotted single heat,
faster than she has, namely Goldsmith Maid, Lu
lu, Occident, American Girl, Dexter, Gloster and
Judge Fullerton. 1t will be seen that she is only
eight years old and her career has only commenced.
Ii is confidently believed that she will eclipse the
ii of ,nll nd
of the Turf
Nuisance.
Mr.. Editor Il desire, through your columns,
to call the attention Of the City Ilea lth Officers TO
a most outrageous nuisance, recently committed
in the rear of the Fsner Office, the foul stencil Of
which would nauseate porge factory! The per-
petrator should be brought to justice and the
nuisance abated, and if within the scope of the
law would suggest that he be sentenced 10 eat
1t, as the most fitting punishment, considering the
enormity Of the offence.
Respectfully, PUGNACIOU>.
