After quiet, and so far as the weather was concerned, dismal Sab bath, the sunshine of yesterday drove overcoats and wraps back to the hooks and brought smiles to the faces of the occupants of the eighty or more cot tagers in this village of the grove.
 The arrivals yesterday were quite numerous, and indications are that the week is to be one of the largest in pro- Granme, attendance and religious in- terest in the history of the grounds a
 The usual services of a supplement tary character were held during the day

 Yesterday afternoon Mary Scott Bad ley of New York city addressed meet ing of the Women's Foreign Missionary association at the stand. She spoke at length upon the achievements of mis- sionary enterprises in the Orient and held the attention of a large audience closely Mrs. Badley is an interesting parsonage. She is the widow of the late Dr. B. H. Badley. and with him was in the missionary service at Luck now, India, for twenty years. Her hus- band, who died there, was the principal of the college for young men, and Mrs Badley's special work was in connec- ton with nine schools for girls, of which she was the superintendent. At the time of the Victorian jubilee Mrs. +,Soxa Tod Ln nf n11nn1 Victoria and the work was used as a text book in the schools. For this ser vice she holds a personal letter from the queen, thanking her for her work.
 Following the address the annual meeting of the Woman's Foreign Mis- sionary society was held.
 The annual meeting of the associa- ton will be held tomorrow afternoon when reports will be read and officers elected. It is probable at this time the matter of improved facilities for con- ducting services will be discussed again. With reference to this matter there appears to be two propositions, each having it's following. It is held by many that the pulpit platform should be remodeled and the seating capacity increased somewhat and the seats made more comfortable. The plan also includes placing cover ing over the auditorium in such way as not to sacrifice the beauty of the grove, After these things are done, < which would probably require an out lay of from $200 to $500 it is proposed to inaugurate a movement for building a large tabernacle, capable of accommo- dating 15,000 people and costing from s1, 800 to $2,000 furnished. This would be used in wet and cool weather The other plan contemplates the erection Of sl tabernacle as early as possible. The financial condition of the association is now better than it has been in some years.
 s-yl day Dr. Raymond, president ot \ wesleyan university, will preach the morning sermon, and the Rev. Charles Fl. Buck of Tarrytown, N. r., will lec- tire to the Womens Foreign Mission ary society on his recent observations in India, China and Japan in the after noon. The Rev. H. c.
