MERRlCK CAMP MEETING.

OPENING OF THE EIGHTH ANNUAL MEETING
MINISTER'S AND NoTABLEs PRESENT AND Ex-
PEcTED.
The eighth annual meeting OF the Mcrrick camp fol
opened last evening the grounds of the as
lociation About fifty families and have been Tor
ome weeks stopping on the encampmeut, most of
vhom occupy cottages which have been built by the
association and rented out Unlike other camp
grounds lots rented at Merrck by the year at So
zach. None are sold. Hence there be no specua-
lion and great temptation to run into debt But
this plan has It's disadvantages as well the
other. For instance. man may rent lot one
year and not want II tho next, and the trustees may
lose the chance to rent it. Then very few men, except
such have moDcyed interest liz tue grounds,
10 erect expensive cottages ground rented by the
year But coun this feeling Of insecurity and
give some of pcrmsnency to this cncampment
the association a couple of years ago crecEd about
thirty cottages, which thoy rcnt for the season very
reasonably It's however intended, probably during
this meeting after It's close, to sell lots out
right al $50 each, purchasers having simply
the right Of choice IN the order or thcir
application. Messrs II. Phillips l.. Is Cornell james
McGec George Wilson, Benjamin Wilson, J. shepherd,
oil Brooklyn, aud otner members oi The Board vi
Trustees, have cottages permanently on the around,
where they spend the greater part 81 the summer.
