The hall was crowded, quite as much so asat the Ingersoll wmozting, and, although it bad been determined to keep the galleries empty In order to prevent nolse, it was found fmpossible to restraln the fmmense audience which flooded them fn a moment after they twero thrown open. The number of ladles in atlendance was perhaps somewhat greater than ovw the previous Satur day, It having been announced that extra ar- rangements would bo made for them. Tho speaker found ftdiMicult to be heard throughout the extent of the vast aren, but those who did hear him—and they were thousands—listened with an appreclative attention marked Uy thelr frequent butrsts of applause and Inughter.
