The anniversary occasion at Bar
rats Chapel last Sunday was a recorC
breaker in many respects.
The general expression of those ThC
were in position to judge were to the
effect that there were far more people
in attendance on that afternoon thar
ever assembled on the old sacred spot
before at any one time.
The day was ideal so far as the
weather, the concrete roads and the
present mode of travel was great in
centive for the great assemblage to
gather there.
Aside from the people of our own
county, the upper and lower counties
of this State were largely represented
as well as the Eastern Shore of Mary
land
So far as the exercises Of the after
noon, none could say but what they
were up to their fullest expectations.
The eloquent and forceable sermon de-
livered by the Rev. Clarence True
Wilson, of Washington, D. c., is seld-
ON equalled and scarcely ever excel
led. The grand singing by the choir
was up to the standard and the selec-
tions sung by w. o. Hoffecker of
Smyrna, and the good old gospel
hymns that he directed were all. that
one could wish for.
Many visitors were at the shore on
Sunday and the fish fans that came
on Saturday and remained over were
much in evidence.
The fish are taking the hook so very
extra good that the fans are loath to
give up.
Quite a number of the nimrods
have been here, especially from the
cities and the eastern part of Penn
sylvania, since Saturday, stayed until
late Monday afternoon, and their re-
port was that they were well pleased
with their success in their catches as
to number of fish and the quality of
the same.
One fan reported catching six weak
les, their average weight was four
pounds apiece, a fine sea bass, weight
thirty-five pounds, beside a quantity
of fish of smaller size.
Captain J. William Haldeman and
wife on Thursday of last week took
their boat and went out for few
hours. The two caught the captain
seventy fish and Mrs. Haldeman
caught fifty-eight fish. They brought
them ashore and sold them at ten
cents per pound and realized over ten
dollars from their catch, beside re-
serving enough of them for the fam
lily use for supper.
