Short Paragraphs About the Meet. ings and the Campers
 On the Grounds.

According to the rules of all pro- tracted or csmpmeetings, the first few days are epent in prayer service during the day-so the meeting at the park yesterday morning and afternoon was spent in like manner,
 The ministers presiding over the campmeeting at present are Revs. Har- ris. Albright, Vaughan. Wright, Hedge peth, with promise of several more to be here in day or so.
 Presiding Elder Vaughan is 6 fine speaker, with an earnestness of delivery that makes the listeners pin their faith to every word he speaks. He is very much liked among his people and is recognized as shining light in the ministry.
 The cars were crowded for the park last evening and as the station was reached people lined the sidewalk to the park. The campmeeting has be- gun with great encouragement, as is evidenced by the large audiences.
 The sermon last evening was an able address by the presiding elder, Vaughan, giving clearly the condition of the sluggard in religious affairs. He describes him as being in imminent jeopardy of eternal destruction. Mr. Vaughan is spirited speaker and made many in the vast congregation see thelr lethargv and induced them to come at once to the waters of life.

 It can be safely estimated that 1000 were present at the evening exercises.
 Bicycles and riders have a majority at the park every evening. It is fact that Phoenix boys and girls can out distance the electric cars by far, and 1 they have rare fun racing every even- | ing.
 1 A lot of ice water, say couple of tu bs, set in convenient places would be appreciated and doubtless help to swell the number of visitors.
 The small boy and his pranks have eparated-that is he looks so innocent of any con templated joke one would imagine him little angel, but goodness no one knows the thoughts of a small boy or mule.
 Some funny things happen at the baths; the other night gay young belle from the metropolis, came out for dip in the water, accompanied by her dapper "Choly." After encasing their graceful forms in the latest bathing suits they went in for "svim," the lady having @ mortal terror of drowning after becoming submerged by an under. current stealing her footing, came down splash into the pool, with many puffs and splsshes she struggled up and caught hold of her hero for support. He wild with fear threw up his arms and frantically exclaimed, "For heavens sake, don't hold onto me, I'll drown"
 The baths are hugely enjoyed by one and all, especially the little folks. They have the gayest time swimming, ducking and plunging each other under the waves.
 Very soon, so Madam Rumor says. a wedding, or marriage will be on of the features of the day-a real live couple doubtless, with lots of pluck have de. cided to consummate the marriage be- fore the large audience. Some people predict it will be some evening next week, but as it is e conjecture merely would it not be better to attend as often as possible?
 One thing, the most noticeable of all, is the hearty singing. Every one joins in with vim and the rich melody floats far out beyond the grounds to many passing by and sounds to them like voice from the spirit land.
 A change of time for services was made owing to the inconvenience to many on the outside who would like to attend. The first prayer meeting is at 8:30 8. m., then again a sermon at 10 80 a. m., another sermon at 2 80 and again at p. m., making it far better for all.
 The camps are comfortable; each family have their household goods to. gether and have gone to housekeeping as if they intended to remain indefi. nitely.
 Mrs. Treet and daughter came into camp from the west end neighborhood yesterday.
 Rev. Wynkoop of Tempe, will come in with his family to camp today and he will help largely to carry on the
