To Attend Dedication Of
New Building.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 21.-The largest re-
ligious gathering ever assembled in
Baltimore. It is claimed. signalized the
opening service in the Billy Sunday
Tabernacle at Oriole Park and took part
in its dedication late yesterday after
noon.
There were 1900 persons seated. abo1t
1000 standing in the vestibules on the
three sides, and some 1000 more who
arrived too late to get IN at all. These
5000 persons. the big majority of them
men. were handled easily and effective
ly by the special squad of police un-
der Captain Hurley. and by the ushers
and doorkeepers under w. c. Perkins.
Street cars began disgorglng crowds
from all parts of the city shortly after
2 o'clock, and an hour later Hobart
Smock was OH hand to direct the sing
ing of Billy Sunday hymns. which kept
until $50. Long before that time every
seat except those on the platform had
been taken and hundreds were packing
the vestibules.
Promptly at the appointed time the
choir of 1900 men formed at the main
entrance and marched down the two
central aisles, singing Onward. Chris
tian Soldiers" 1t was followed by the
officiating clergymen and members OF
the executive committee, Mayor Pres
ton and other special guests. They filled
the immense platform except the two
extreme wings. which were taken UP by
people from the throngs in the vesti-
bules on either side. whose places In
turn were filled by a few hundred for
tunate ones OF the thousands vainly be-
sieging the doors for admission.
