Brandywine Summit Campmeeting
Grounds, Aug. 8.-During it's 30 years.
existence, the Brandywins Summit
campmseting has not had a finer big
Sunday than in this season Of 1898.
There havo heen "big'' Sundays whan
the attendance was larger, but the
attendance yesterday was such as to
not cause any discomfort. Visitors
kept coming TO the grove from early in
the morning until early in the evoning.
Five thousand is considered fair esti-
mate OF the number. Some OF them
cnme in hacks and ON trains, others on
bicycles, but most of thsm in carriages.
Three hundred teams we're admittad to
the campmeering grounds, and 700 ware
| hitched on the outskirts. The VIII.
mipgton Bicycle Club waa represented
by 30 memhsra, and the West Chester
Outing Club by 20 members. During
worship. the auditonu um was throngei;
and during the brief intermissions. toe
| visitors promenaded the avenues, mado
social calls or assembled in groups for
conversation. The weather could not
| have been more perfect. At night,
when the fronts of tho tents were
| illuminated by Japanese lanterns, the
! grove presented scene Of exquisite
| picturesqueuess No accidents or dis
order marred the occasion. Yesterday
was the first "big'' Sunday in the
campmeotings' history that constable
was not employed. The restaurants
provided appetizing menus. and were
/ literally patronized. AT the st. Pauls
restaurant two tables were reserved for
the bicyclists. Every service was in
teresting, and the sermons we're greatly
appreciated. An imme choir, directed
by Harry j. Guthrie, with Mrs. Guthrie
and Jubn j. Gibson as organ accom-
panists and E. L. Flory as cornet accom-
panist, furnished excellent music. Two
professions of conversion at the con-
