ing the skies were cloudy, but in the
evening they became clear. The tenn
perature was cool throughout the day.
The churches were all we'll attended at
the various services which were con-
Quoted according to the announcements
made on Saturday. Bishop @. G, Pc
nick, formerly Bishop of Africa, preach
ed at st. Paul's Church in the morning
and at Christ Church at night. The
Bishop is collecting money in behalf OF
the negro race, which race he wishes
to elevate and to educate. He takes
the ground that the white people are
not doing enough for their colored
brethren. During his address he con-
troverted the assertion that the world
is growing better, aud said that crime
is decidedly on the increase. Rev. II.
G. Hemmeter, Of Pittsburg, preached
an interesting sermon at the German
Lutheran Church. The announcement
for the mass meeting to be held in the
evening to take action against the race
tracks was read at the morning services
in many of the churches.
