WAsHISoToN GROVE CAMP,
NEAR GATTnERsBuRd,
MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MD.
The sixth annual cucampncut of the WASH
ington Grove Association begins to-day. For
several months past improvements Of various
sorts have been in progress, chiefly consisting
in the erection of new cottages. Last year
there were only three-owncd by Major Nor
gan, Richard Wills and William Burns-now
there are sixteen private cottages, besides the
Preachers Lodge and the furniture and lodg.
ing establishment of Mr.. Wash. b. Williams,
making eighteen in all. The cucampmcnt
will probably be quite as large rs last year, and
will approximate about u hundred and forty or
fifty tents. 1t is difficult to arrive ut anything
like correct estimate of its size ut this early
stage Of the camp. as the work Of tent-erecting
is still industriously going on. Considering
all things, the prospect for a large aud success
full camp is quito rs nattering as last year.
The grounds are in fine condition, and are sus-
ceptible of much greater improvement than
has yet been made. Tho association has very
wisely rcfrained from mourning additional
incumbrancc during these pnching times. II
the enterprise receives the hearty cooperation
of Methodism in the Washington district which
1t deserves, its future history will be much
more marked than the past has been, although
all its meetings have been reasonably success.
