BIG QUARTERLY.

Many Visitors But the Crowd Was Much
smaller Than in Some Former Years.
Sunday was Big Quarterly, the
annual religious festival of the colored
people of Wilmington, and, although
there were many visitors. the crowd
was not SO large by several Thousand as
was customary few years ago. Most
of the visitors were from Philadelphia,
Chester, Camden, N. j., other points
in New Jersey, Maryland and the
nearby counties of Pennsylvania. There
were few from lower Delaware and
the Eastern Shore of Maryland. but not
enough 10 cut any figure, while several
years ago the old-time negroes from
that section of the country were the
typical Big Quarterly attendants.
As is always the case, French street
was the mecca for the ,oolored people,
and during much of the day that
thoroughfare was crowded, while many
went to other parts of the city to visit
relatives and friends. The A. u. NJ,
p. Church, on French street, between
Eighth and Ninth. where the services
of the day were held, was the centre of
attraction, and, Notwithstanding the
hot weather, the thermometer being
around the 100 mark during much Of
each of the services and the building
and tent in the rear, where the overflow
meetings were held, were crowded all
day. Much religious fervor was mani
tested, and those who came to the CITY
to attend the religious festival were
able to. extract much good from their
visit.
AS is always the case, many of the
strangers lost sight of the spiritual
feature of the demonstration and re-
garded the day as a holiday. A majority
OF that class spent the time in parading
the streets, calling upon relatives and
friends and getting as much enjoyment
out of their trip as possible. A few,
who appeared to lose sight of the fact
that Wilmington observes Sunday, in
common with the other civilized cities
of the world, managed to get enough
liquor to make them drunk, but good
police arrangements had been made, by
Chief Massey, and Capt. Black, who
was in charge during the day, and Capt.
Kane, at night, had q large squad Of
mon On duty along French street and
there was very little disorder.
The religious services at the A. U.
M. p. Church were of unusual interest.
The Rev. James e. Sergeant preached
in the auditorium in the morning. The
Rev. j. A. Matte of Cedar Grove, ~
j., preached in the lectureroom and
the Rev. j. L. Pennington preached
in the tent. In the afternoon the Rev.
s. 4. Guam preached in the church;
the Rev. Mr.. Gibson Of Mt. Zion, this
city, in the lectureroom, and the Rev.
q. H. Walker in the tept. In the even
ing the Rev. r. A. Woodward Of ST.
Matthews West Philadelphia preached
in the auditorium OF the church, the
Rev. Silas Anderson in the leotureroom.

a temperance speech, too that seemed
to make an impression on them. Any

place where they had it to sell.
