THE STATED CLERK HERE.
d.. Roberts Arrival This Morning-Much
Pleased With the Arrangements.
The irst important arrival as the vanguard
Of the Presbyterian hosts which have begun to
come to The city to attend the meeting Of tine
general assembly which convenes tomorrow
morning in the New York Avenue Church
was the stated CLERK Of the assembly, Rev,
DR.. William H. Roberts Of Cincinnati. He
came in on an early train this morning and
went at once to the EDbitt. which will be his
headquarters. After breakfast ne saw Rev. Dr.
Bartlett, the chairman Of the local committee
and made a visit to the headquarters
of the committee on G street and then went to
the church. Here ne was found by STAR re-
porter. to whom he expressed his great satisfac-
ton with the admirable arrangements made
by the local committee. at don't believe
that better or more complete arrangements
We're ever made for the meeting Of any assem-
bly, than has been the case with this one Dr.
Bartlett tells that he has provided quarters for
all the delegates in localities near to the
church, and that he has given each one a room
for himself when be mas asked for it-a thing
which has not always been possible on former
occasions"
DIR. Roberts stated that everything was in
readiness fo- the opening OF the session Of the
assembly and that all the indications pointed to
very large attendance Of Commissioners He
said that he expected hat the total
attendance would be probably $685. and in
addition there would be present twelve corre-
spending members. representing the various
boards OF the church, The secretaries,
treasurers. &c. He had received the reports
of the fifteen special committees appointed at
the last assembly to report at the
p-esen. session with the exception OF the re-
port OF the committee on arbitration with
theological seminaries. This would probably
come III later.
DIR. Roberts is Of course no stranger in this
city, where ne lived for a number Of years, and
has hera good many warm friends. He

executive ability, as well the experience
which enables MIN TO handle the numerous
matters that pertain 20 his position with ease
and dispatch. Before Leaving his home
in Cincinnati DR.. Roberts Was the recipient
o: a fattering testimonial in the form
