. "i'N hOobo Vi olISlo WIOSe names cannot
now be recalled. The day was perfect
and an ideal one for the great crowd
present that day.
Sunday morning on the excursion
train to Cumberland, hundred or more
excursionists left the train at Oakland
and came down here in carriages and
other means of transportation, where
they spent the day, returning to their
homes via Oakland Sunday afternoon
upon the return of the excursion train.
We know the visitors enjoyed the day
and the outing better than they would
have done had they continued the Jour
ney to Cumberland, for reports from
that city Monday indicated that the
weather was intensely hot.
! This has been most successful camp
meeting both in numbers and results.
