A Biz Revival Meeting

Rev. H. NJ. Wharton returned 10 the
CITY Yesterday and resumed the conduct
Of the meetings at the Grace-street Bap-
fist church. The capacity, which was
entirely insufficient last week, when the
meetings were held down stairs, was
largely Increased by moving to the audi
forum in the main part of the buhding.
The two spacious galleries and the
large main floor were filled with chairs
from the Exposition Hall, and one OF the
largest congregations ever assembled in
Richmond filled the great space, which
WAS used for the first time.
The eloquent Baltimore preacher spoke
with great power, and the splendi acous-
ties Of the new building assisted mate
rally in the effect Of his discourse. The
choir occupied the pulpit. and the hum
dre5s who were turned away disap-
pointed last week were comfortably ac-
commodatec.
Several large arc electric lights were
added TO the gas illumination. and the
ARRANGEMENTS were all admirable for the
purpose. Much interest was manifested
i'm the brief after meeting. The services
Will continue during the balance OF the
week.

tanned one of the largest audiences ever

rescue scene, in which the heroine Is
thrown in the river Of real water by the

so many seconds that II gives the au-

his dive in dead earnest, and brought
Miss Schuyler 10 the surface. when II
was found she had tainted away, and was
insensible. After the curtain had de-
scended II was discovered that a large
water snake had been pumped in the tank,
and when the water was heated as 1t

SO IL will be seen hat the realism OF

Quite a number of individuals. whose
mental capabilities must be of a very
limited type. and whose love OF sport
has degenerated, or has always been at
a very low ebb, last night assembled at
a barn in the East End. and attempted
the somewhat impossible task Of enjoying
themselves at a rafting main. There were
the usual number of dogs and rats and
men, with whisky TASKS and loud voices,
and the cruel sport went or until even
the dogs became disguised.
Considerable money changed hands. and
the men present who would have become
insulted If you referred TO them other
than as gentlemen. laughed with as
much heartiness at some of the antics
Of the dogs and rats as a certain coarse

stale minstrel joke to a fly on a window

POLK MILLER UfS OAR
And Entertained the Residents Of the Old
Burg With His RecitaIs and songs.

WILLIAMSBURG, VA, Feb. Especial.
The most charming concert ever given
here took place last night at Cameron
Hall. and was under the ament Of
Mr.. +. II. Cloves Bnd1y). OF Richmond.
but who is an old Williamsburg boy. The
entertainment was given for he benefit
Of our Methodist church. and a good
round sum was realized, as every seat in
the hall was taken and the aisles were
filled with chairs. The music was mostly
vocal, and upon the programme WIS some
OF the best musical talent of Richmond.
The sweet and highly cultivated voices OF
Mrs. Knowles and Mrs. J. Emory Shaw
perfectly captiyated the audience. and
after the rendition ef each selection We're
invariably enCored. Professor Smith and
Professor Shaw each sang solos, and the
artistic singing Of these gentlemen was
vociferously applauded, while our own
Buddy met with a perfect ovation as the
rich, sweet notes of his highly cultivated
voice fell upon the enraptured audience
and filled the hall with melody.
The aeeompaniments were artistically
played by Mr.. Shepherd Webb.
The singing was interspersed with negro
dialect by the inimitabie Polk Miller.
whom our people had never heard before.
His recital OF BRO. Watkins Address
Before the Lime-Kiin Club" and SISTER
Charity's 'Sperience at Church" kept the
audience in a roar of laughter. but when
he told. as only Polk Miller can tell it,
how the negro who tends the 'tug-mule
en- the Ninth-street car line 'phOned TO
the stable boss for relief, after Jennie
had flung him." perfectly convulsed the
house. Mr.. Miller was repeatedly en-
cored, and IN answer 10 one encore sang
a plantation song full of rich melody,
telling in pathetic strains Of the negrO's
life fore de war and bewailing his pres
ent lot.
The -impersonation Of the negro by Mr..
{. II Jordan was realistic and was highly
appreciated. as was his performance on
the banjo in company with Messrs. Miller
ana Cloves.
The ladies. Mrs. Knowles and Mrs.
Shaw, were each recipients OF several
beautiful bouquets. as tokens Of appre-
citation of their exquisite music.
