At meeting of Brandywine Summit
Campmeeting Association, held this
afternoon, ii was resolved to prohibit
games on the campgrounds during the
camp season. Nine applications for tent
sites at the head of the grounds were
referred to the trustees, as was also a
complaint about the proposed removal
OF private stables from the west road
way and the northern boundary of the
encampment.
During the afternoon the trustees held
q lengthy and stormy meeting. The
agitation was caused by the stable
question. Finally last weeks action
was reconsidered and Il was agreed to
allow the private stables to remain
where they are. The stables, however,
must be uniform and be whiiewashed.
A club stable will not be erected unless
il Is done by private parties and an
avenue will not be opened back of ST.
Paul's avenue. The grocery store will
be removed farther south and the space
thus obtained will be rented for tent
sites. This Improvement will permit of
the erection of about Is tents at the
head of the grounds. 1t is understood
that the trustees did not weaken until
they ascertained that there was afoot a
scheme to erect private stables in
CARVINGS woods, which adioin the
campgrounds, Permission to improve
st. Pauls avenue was given and petit
ton for the erection of a pump on
Summit avenue was granted. II was
resolved to make the preachers tent two
stories in height. The bedroom will be
upstairs and the room below will be
used as reception and meeting room.
St. Paurs Association met tonight
and decided to beautify st. Paul's
avenue previous to next season. The
improvements will cost about $3.50.
The cook house will be removed farther
east and face the west, and instead of
there being two rows OF dining tables
running north and south there will be
four rows of tables extending east and
west. The tables will be Immediately
in front of the cook house and the latter
will have doorway leading to each
aisle between the tables. Besides greatly
improving the appearance of the avenue
this change will give considerable more
space for promenading. A row of trees
will be planted in the centre of the
avenue and on each side there will be
promenade. The latter will be brit
liantly illuminated by handsome lamps.
The sleeping tents belonging to the
boarding department will also be i'm
proved. There is great demand for
tents on this avenue, but every inch of
space is occupied.
