who wanted 10 consult foItune-teiierS and
spirftuaists TO this scene. The masters cared
not for the soul or the girl, but for the money

to-day. All they cared for was the wealth that
sin purchased. The speaker then discoursed on
what constituted salvation

m. the Rev. A. III. Ames, Of Annapolis had
charge OF the general meeting in the taber-
nacle. IL was termed a consecration meeting
and as more like what @ Methodist meeting
should be than any that has been held on the
grounds. At this meeting several affecting ex-
periences were related. The young peoples
meeting al $50 n. IN. was led by Mrs NICK.
Reilley. and was very Interesting.
At 40 Rev. ". NJ. Hammack preached from
Prov. XVII, l: Boast not thyselt OF to-mor-

forth" This was an earnest exhortation 20
sinners 10 flee from the wrath TO come, and not

est appeal 10 those who wanted 10 be saved TO
come forward and seek salvation. Four re-
spondea TO the appeal three OF whom were con-
Nerted. The closing exercises were very i'm
preSSiye.
After supper several OF the young people
gathered together on the platform and made
the woods resound with their sweet music.
Several complaints have been made about the
conduct OF some OF the boys at the depot, espe-
cially few OF the colored bootblacks who are
boisterous and ill-behaved, so much so that
ladies are often offended and their ears ttngle,
listening TO the remarks that are made. A few
arrests would put stop TO IT, A person
would Imagine that out here at
camp meeting we would be free from
the nuisance OF having dogs at night but many
have complained on account or it--in fact. I
have never seen so many dogs In any one camp
betoie, and they make night hideous with their
bowling.
The arrivals to-day have been few but among
the visitors were Rev. JAS McLarsn of North
capitol Church; Rev. Mr. Peters or Montgomery
Circuit: Professor Rounds. OF Baltimore; Mrs
Suefferle. X. Clarke, DIR. Grant and the Rev.
Richard Mccormick. OF the Methodist Protes-
tant Church. This latter gentleman Is one OF
the old fathers OF McthodisIn. being ss years
old; but as active and energetic as il he were 30
years younger. He Is the last living pail bearer
OF Bishop Ashbury, and IS very interesting in
conversation, being familiar with AL the Old
fathers OF MethodlSm.
