Dover. July II. ~ Instead of awarding
privileges for which purpose the meet
ing had been called, the board OF mana
gers OF the Camden Union Campmeet-
ing Association yesterday afternoon
unanimously voted not TO hold camp
meeting this year. Tho inability OF
farmers to attend. their drops demand
ing constant attention, and the waning
interest Ia campmeetipgs were the
reasons given for calling off the oamp-
meeting. The managers authorized
the trustees to dispose OF the oamp
grounds for this summer on they may

the managers, while il is regretted by
some Of tbs campneeting -goers. will
not seriously Inconvenience anyone.
This is the second time the camp.
meeting has been called Oft, similar
action having been taken several years
ago. when the grounds were leased to
local preachers, who held one of the
greatest meetings intthe history OF the
resort.
Some people suggest that the
trustees elect new board OF managers,
md that 1t arrange for campmesting,
but this 10 improbable, as a majority
OF the present managers are trustees.
For similar reasons, various camp
meetings in Delaware aud on tho East.

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
New London, Conn, July 17.-With
40 feet of her bow cut clean off, in a
collision with tie steam yacht Wild
Duck, at midnight, the steamer Ire
mont Of the Joy Line, which left Bos.
ton yesterday for New York, with 800
passengers, was towed into New Lon
don and besched today. All her pnssen-
gers had been transferred TO other
steamers In the sound, and continued
their trip to New York.
Capt. Wilcox of the fremont says the
night was. perfectly clear, and the
steamer was proceeding on her usual
course, when, about IL miles west of
Cornfield Light, schooner rugged
steam yacht was made out on the bow.
The officers Of the fremont supposed
that the yacht would pass astern OF
their vessel, as her course seemed TO be
on line diagonal to that of the Ire
mont. No danger was thought of until
the yacht had approached to within a
quarter of mile, when she was hailed
from the fremont, aud no answer
was received. When too late. the
fremont attempted to change
her course, to avoid the impending
collision. The sharp prov of the
yacht struck her about 80 feet back OF
the port Cow, and sheered diagopally
across. coming out on the etnrboard
side. The force OF the impact Was
sufficient to throw passengers from the
hunks, and CAUSED the greatest ex-
citement among them for a time, but
the officers OF the fremont maintained
discipline, and aid YVES quickly at band.
The steamers City OF Worcester and
City OF Lowell were both nearby, and
promptly went TO the assistance Of the
Fremont. AS soon az the extent OF the
Tremont's injury was known, the City
of Lowell ran alongside. and the trans
fer of passengers from the disabled
boat was quickly effected.
Immediately after the accident, the
steam yacht baoksd away from the
| fremont, and left, coming into New
London harbor early today. From
shore, it appeared that she had sus-
tanned considerable injury TO her stem.
New London, Conn. July 17.-Since
July, the yacht Wild Duck, which was
In collision last night, has been char
tered to United States Senator Alrich
OF Rhode Island, who, with his wife
and daughter, was on board last night,
making a trip from New York to
Narragansett Bay.
Mr.. Aldrich said be aud bis family
were asleep In the oabin when the oul-
| lision occurred and we're awakened by
the crash, and the men Of the crew
sleeping In the forecastle were thrown
from their hunks.
