MR. sANKEY SINGS
The scene of the Moody and Sankey meetings
was yesterday transferred from Cooper Union
to Carnegie Hail. which they could doubtless
have filed every day in the week just past Yes
terday the big auditorium was packed from
dome to floor with people who had core rom
their homes hours before the time for opening
the doors This was at o'clock but long before
then the crowds began to gather in Fifty'

wanted to hear the world famous evangelist ana
his equally famous colleague. So dense did the
waiting crowd become that 1t required the ser
vices OF several policemen to keep passage"a!
open on the sidewalk for pedestrians.
As o o'clock drew and the crowd in
creased. the authorities decided TO relieve the
pressure. and opened the doors before the ad-
vertised time The waiting hundreds rushed in
as If their lives depended upon it, and, despite
the fact that the meeting was not advertised To
begin until 330 o'clock. every single seat in the
house executing those boxes that had been re-
served was occupied, and the halls and the lobby
were iammed almost to suffocation. The crowd
extended far out into the street. and as soon as
pcssible the doors were closed, all entrance being
cut off excepting to the speakers and the singers
who found their way to the stage by the Fifty
sixth-st entrance.
So great was the crowd to which admttance
to the hall was denied, and such was the disap-
pointment they expressed, that 1t was decided TO
hold overflow meetings for their beneht. cal

open and 1t did not take long to fill 1t. After the
Carnegie Hall meeting was In progress. Mr.
Sankey went TO :he Calvary Baptist Church ana
addressed the meeting there. The Central Pres
byterian Church also opened. and many OF
those who came too late to get into Carnegie Hall
went thither for another overflow meeting
