WtNONA ASSEMBLY GROUNDS, Eagle
Lake. Ind, Aug 17-Early this afternoon
the usual serene and quiet denizens of VII
mona Park were startled with a series OF
screams, yells and caterwals from the
woods to the southwest. Never perhaps,
in their widest ghost dances did the red
skinned owners of Winona in the early days
produce such varied noises. The outbreak
was located in the Y. NJ. c. A. camp, and
messenger sent out on a wheel to investi-
gate the causes came back with a simple
and satisfactory explanation. The Y. NJ G.
A. boys want a brand-new yell for their
camp, and last night the hour of 1 80 this
afternoon appointed for a prize yelling
contest, the winners yell TO be adopted. The
resultant conglomeration may be imagined,
but description fails. Win d. Water, of La
fayette, was the guest of honor at the camp
to-day, and, as an assistant camp physi-
clan was needed, he was elected to fill the
place Horace Graves, of Columbus, was
elected physician in chief. At the camp
conference this morning a committee was
appointed to provide a flag and flagstaff
and recommend appropriate camp colors.
This committee consisting of ]. w. Crooks,
or Ierre Haute. A. G. Davidson. Of Logans-
port, and {. Z. Mitchell, of Elkhart will
report tomorrow morning. The camp is
conducted IN the most systematic manner.
Inc police department makes a thorough
inspection of the tents and grounds imme-
diately after breakfast and reports Offend
ers against good order. The second offense
or untidiness meets prompt and effective
punishment. This morning after Chief OF
PONCE Jameson had completed his duties
Z. Il. Willis, general secretary of the Mill
Waukee Association and chorister of the BIZ
bic conference, assembled the campers, and,
III an appropriate ana witty speech, pre-
SCI ted the chief with brown paper star.
At O'Clock DIR. Alexander Patterson led
the men IN a prayer and praise service, aft
er Which they attended the regular meet
ing of the Bible conference. The Winona
Baseball Club has CHALLENGED the Y M C.
~. sluggerS to a game TO be played this
week. Another challenge has been sent by
the Winona tennis players for tournament
lenges were promptly accepted. There Is
a popularity in the duties of the campfire
department that is worthy of notice In
stead of eXtinguishing the fires, the sole
duty OF this branch of the service Is to keep
the fires burning. The committee main
tenance of way has put itself in evidence
by making a splendid bicycle track through
the woods to the park proper. 1t would
be hard to find harder, merrier or better
lot of men than are now in camp on Chi
cage hill.
Although there are so many meetings of
the Bible conference each day the attend
ance Is very large. The early morning de-
votional exercises were led to-day by A. w.
Bodell. The hour of IL, which during the
assembly was devoted to a popular lecture
is now used for Bible reading in the au-
ditorium. Dr. Elliott of Rochester. N Y,
conducted the Bible reading this morning.
Spirit" This afternoon at o'clock DIR.
! Fishburn gave his fourth lecture on the
temple. There are seven lectures in this
course, and those already given have re-
ceived much commentator from the hear
ers at Winona Every evening at $3.50
o'clock a prayer meeting is held the
hillside and usually attended by a larger
number than any other service. These
meetings are led by Dr. Chapman. His
subject this evening THE Temnla of
the Holy Ghost, Which Temple We Are"
DR.. McGregor, of London, who came
with the recommendation of Mr.. Moody of
being the best speaker ever heard on the
Mortified platform, held his first service at
Winona in the auditorium this evening. He
is man of great power, and no doubt
win be a leading figure in the Bible confer
ence.
The weather at Winona has been I'M
| usually cool during the last few days, and
| this has encouraged the young people in all
athletic matters. Yesterday afternoon the

AS the Bible School has brought in so
many new people it has been decided to
have another tennis tournament for, gentle
men, singles Gnd doubles This. is distinct
ly Winonian as distinguished from the Y.
NJ c. A. games. In the ladies' singles Miss
awarded the prize. The mixed doubles VIII
be played tomorrow. Some of the preach
ers who have come in to attend the con-
ference have surprised some of the college
men by developing speed and curves in the
serving of tennis balls that seem totally in
compatible with the supposed quiet occu-
patton of clergyman.
