Exercises.
Yesterday at Red Rock was the great day of
the session. The country for miles around
seemed to have emptied itself at AN early hour,
and all with one accord set their faces towards
camp meeting. At 8 A. N. Capt. Reaney's
splendid boats began to make regular trips
from the docks at the foot Of jackson street to
the grounds. and throngs of people from St.
Paul and Minneapolis availed themselves Of
this means Of reaching the grounds. .
At the Red Rock landing Smith. the "Irop-
ical Fruit Store" nan, who has charge of the
freshment pavilion where those landing or de.
parting could obtain lemonade and ices. About
this pavilion and on board the covered barge
Capt. Reaney had moored at the landing,
considerable crowd remained the entire day.
Across the river numbers picnieed under the
bank, while row boats were con
conveying parties from one side to the other
according to their caprice. Upon the grounds
the
CROWD WAS SIMPLY IMMENSE.
Around the entire grounds, which embrace ten
acres, the street was entirely blockaded with
teams, while the large pasture lot adjoining
was thrown open to admit those that were un-
able to find room inside. During the services
the amphitheatre of seats was entirely filled,
while thousands who wished to hear what was
being said ranged themselves in the rear, and
some who did not seem anxious to hear roamed
about among the tents and trees. The
UTMOST GOOD ORDER
prevailed during the entire day, which reflects
equal credit upon the audience and manage
ment. At A. NJ the exercises of the day were
inaugurated by Superintendent w. W. Safer
lee who conducted the special prayer service.
