Epworth Leaguers Are Up With
the Sun at Frisco.
Second Day OF the Convention a
Busy One.
REATEST EVER HELD.
All Records Broken In Matter of
Attendance.
Keen Competition of Cities For
Next Meeting.

San Francisco. Cal. July 19.-The Sec
ond day of the International convention
of the Epworth League was marked by
cool, pleasant weather and an increased
attendance, particularly of the local
residents. The biggest attraction was,
of course. the services at Mechanics
pavilion with its long list of prominent
speakers, good music by a large choir
and the great pipe organ, with the ad-
ditional attractions of elaborate dis
plays of California products. However
the ALEXANDRA theater and metropolitan
temple meetings were attended by as
many delegates and residents as could
find accommodations and the enthusi-
asm was just as great as at the bigger
building. The programme at. each of
these three meetings was a most nota-
bic and interesting one. The visitors
were astir early this morning and
thousands attended the sunrise prayer
meetings held at Grace, Central and
First Methodist Episcopal church. The
interest and enthusiasm of the Ep-
worthers seems TO grow as the conven-
ton progresses and many declared the
present gathering to be the greatest in
the point of attendance and enthusiasm
the order has ever held.
The competition of cities for the hon
or of entertaining the next convention
of the league is growing keen. st.
Louis, Minneapolis, Detroit and Toron-
to are in the field. with the chances
somewhat In favor of the Minnesota
city. Milwaukee has dropped out of
the contest and the Wisconsin delegates
viii throw their support to Minneapo-
lis. The decision rests entirely with
the committee on resolutions which will
meet today or tomorrow for the purpose
Of selecting some one of the cities men
toned.
