Last night the cars and park were crowded with pleasure seekers, and church going people. The lights were good and in every way the night, cir cumstanccs and services were all that could have been asked by faultfnding public, let alone the good natured peo. pie that attend campmeeting.
 The usual song and prayer service was had before the sermon, which WAS delivered by Rev. W. H. Harris. The text was ''The Wages of Sin is Death" Mir. Harris knows just how to deal with the subject to the ediication of listeners and never more So than last night did he picture the horrors of sin in life and the awful result in death. In fact this is methodical sermon from beginning to end and they can deal out facts so startling by comparison and scripture that the densest can but understand. l. In every way the sermon was appre. ciative and instructive and many came up to be prayed for.
 Good feeling throughout was appar- ent by one ane all, and good meeting is expected today at 10 80 g. m., the ueual service will be had, only a ser. mon instead of prayermeeting. Ser mon at 2 80 and ore at D. ID.
 There will be great crowd in at. tendance on this morning and evening services, as is the custom with the Methodists at campmeetings. No min foto ic al fal al, ko fore, so it is matter ol conjecture who will preach, but presumably the pre- siding elder.
 "Do not sit On the grass" has never been set up at the park, on the con- trary every body is invited to sit, stand, ride or walk all over it.
 Thirteen handsome lassies are camp. ing on the grounds-a bouquet of charms.
 Four babies who cry, laugh and keep things lively are now boarders at the park, but they are pretty, plump and sweet, so what's the odds.
 Campmeeting folks are allowed passes over the electric car line, which is an- other proof of B. N. Pratt's open handed way of entertaining. The re- cipients of his many fayors are loud in his praise.
 Mrs. Duncan, who lives several miles east of this city, will reach camp today with her family.
 Dr. Harry Duer, has been the means of much concern to many going to and from the park. He rides bicycle, and like the wings of the wind scars to and from that place at all hours. He is deeply med.tative, often excited and then pensive.
 Prof. Brown, very popular gentle man with the fair sex, occasionally pays his respects to the camp grounds. Come again professor, on your wheel.
 One hundred bathers were at the park yesterday morning and afternoon be- sides visitors.
 1 One hundred feet more ecafolding was put up yesterday on the park grounds for tents to be placed under. Many families have given notice they will come in 8 few days.
 The tent grounds are looking fine now and every one has made them selves comfortable. Families are con- tlnually coming in and pretty soon the race track will be filled.
 Tom Wright everybody knows him, and knows but to love) is busy hauling hay to the park. Tom finds alfalfa takes at compmeetings.
 J. A. R. Irvine lead in the morning services yesterday, which was the cause of much apparent good. MT. Irvine is a very sincere man ill all the walks ot life and there is no wonder he makes so good Methodist.
 At Sing Sing the old fashioned camp meeting is receiving a large share of patronage this year. The immense camping grounds are full from morning until night while services are carried on cautiously, so says The World. It seems that Phoenix can have nothing but what some other place must ape her.
 M. Morrison led the afternoon ser vices yesterday. which was most en. joyable hour to those looking for re- ligious instructions.
 "Well, Mike, I see you are off for campmeeting. I hope it will do you good" "Yes," replied Mike with resignation, "an may it yer honor-I came out ter spind the day because it's chape-It cost feller like smoke to be saloon bum in Ph@nix."
 MT. Jones, "say but these people seem to be pretty honest kind of folks, Mrs. Smiley, what is your opinion of them did they come out here to camp for any good do you think?" Mrs. Smiley.
