EPWORTH PARK.

a gracious Providence has given Ep-
worth Assembly ali that could be desired
IN lhe way OF weather. Ii has been warm
ana bright since the meetings begun with
the exception Of one day when rain came
and laid the dust Occasionally showers
at night tempered the heat and made the
day pleasant. The crowds in attendance
have increased as the Assembly pro-

For some reason there Is d surplus OF
young ladies on the grounds. Eligible
young men are scarce. This may be ac-
counted for by reason OF so many OF the
manufacturing plants continuing in oper-
alton during the summer season this
year Saturday night and Sunday the
stcrner sex are numerous. however. and
the dear girls are happy then. The alb
souce of a good boating stage IN the lax

shades of night have fallen, but the sup

augmented In consequence. When you
