| Baxter, from the Pacific Theological Semi
nary, and who is about to leave under

Westminster Presbyterian Church in the

Communion" which was followed by bap-
tismal services.
Rev. r. G. White, of San Francisco, occu-
pied the pulpit morning and evening at Cal
vary Baptist Church.
| At the Sixth-street NJ. L. Church Mr.. Ed
ward Carswell, of Canada, delivered in the
evening an interesting temperance lecture
The church was filed to overlooking, and his
terse method of treatment and almost inim-
liable delivery elected the closest attention
| throughout.

occupied the pulpit of the First Methodist
Church at Marysville yesterday, and passes
through the city this morning on his return
to San Francisco.
THE MAY-pAY TEMPERANCE PIcNIC.-Sat-
urday the temperance people held May
day picnic at Tammany Grove, near Davis
vile. AT $50 A. NJ. train of five closely
! filled cars left this city with Sacramento
excursionists. Trains arrived at the grounds
also with picnickers from Benicia, Vallejo,
Willows and intermediate railroad points. In
ALL over 5000 people assembled the sur
rounding country furnishing large numbers.
At the grove the grounds were found rather
damp, but the freshness and bright
green of the country compensated for
any discomfort in that respect. At
of the pleasure-seekers. A. B. Hoag called to
order, welcomed the people, and introduced
Robert Thompson of San Francisco as Presi-
dent of the Day, who made an appropriate
address. Rev. Mr. Henderson made the in
vocation. Edward Carswell of Canada,
well-known temperance lecturer and humor
list who pleases greatly, delivered the Grafton.
Rev. III. G. Dewitt, d. D., of New York,
made an earnest temperance address. The
programme was interspersed by pleasing
songs by Professor J. A. Markham of Yer
| iDOHJ, WHO was colnpelleu 10 RESPOND TO per-
sistent requests for more. At the con-
was cleared for dancing, Church,
Jones & Beebe's band furnishing the
necessary music. w. +. Peterson provided
refreshments on the grounds for all who de-
sired. A game of base ball was played be-
tween 1.-The Boys of 80" and picked nine
from Sacramento for a silver medal, which
was awarded by Mr.. Hoag to the latter
players, who won by score of IL to z, but
the result occasioned much grumbling the
umpires rulings being unsatisfactory to sew
eral. The return train to this city reached
here about P. NJ The festival concluded
with ball at Davisville at night. The pro-
ceeds of the entertainment were for the benefit
of the Good Templars' Home for Orphans,
and the result will probably foot up neat
contribution. Pleasure and charity were
thus combined, and the first picnickers of the
season can pronounce their effort, notwith-
standing few drawbacks, success socially
and financially.
