M. Anderson, United Rev. J, College: States cadets; Thomas Monroe, Allan McCullough, Chas. Miss Salile Ireland, of Annapolis, and Miss Dashiels,of Hagers- town, Md. Saturday was a busy day for those having tents or cottages on the ground, as it is a general cleaning up Le all preparing for the reception of their friends who are expected on the morrow, while a large number of the male portion of the tenters went into the city to pro- vide provender to feed and entertain them. The usual 6: yer meeting was held In the large tent. The 5:30 prayer and experieuce mueeting was in charge of the Kev. J. H. Smith, of Grace church, and was unusually interestiog, two penitents presenting themselves for prayer. At 10:30 a, m. the Rev.

The usual childrea’s and ladies’ meetings were held at 2 p. m, the fii in rge of Mr. Smith, and the latter con- ducted by M Burris. At 3 p. m. the Rev. A. H. Ames led another of the special consectation serv , and the old-fashioned amen! ond hallelujab! could often be heard tn- lusting new fetinto the penitent, and warming heads of those who were lukewarm. ‘Tue ung peoples’ meeting. at 6 p. m., was led by Mrs. McKendree Rleley, in the large meeting tent, At these meetings the new convert ly breaks through the lee, and, maybe, for the first time, relates his or her experteace. A large congregation a listen to the sermon of e who took for his text, Luke x 2 of Man Is come to seek and to save that, which was lost.” The sermon was an excellent oné, being intensely practicable and siited to the main object In view, viz: The conversion of sinners.

The presiding elder announced as a committee to have charge and general supervision of the outskirt services on Sabbath: Alex. Holland, Chas. M. Nye and the Rev. tinger. THE SECOND SUNDAY IN CAMP. Very early this morning those tenting on the grounds were awakened by the sound of car- riage wheels, and for three or four hours wag- ons, carriages, buggies, and in facet every tn maginable kind of transportation was used in bringing persons to the camp. There were fully ten thousand People within the enclosure of thecamp to-day. The trains from the cliy | brought neaily fifteen: hundred people, while those’ irom Frederick, Sykesville and Martin3- burg brought twenty-three car loads of living freight numbering nearly two thousand people and landed them on the grounds, A CROWD IN CAMP—THE FOOD AND WATER QUES- TIONS.

One great difficulty and one that should be remedied betore another camp ts held nere, is the lack in the supply of water—this caused the greatest complaint that was heard—larger and ‘deeper wells and more of them are sadiy ed, a8 each Year's experience always shows ne Same result On Sundays—a Jack in the sup- ply of water. SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO A LADY. fe Another grievance is the fatlure of the rail: Toad company to supply a sufficient number of cars to take the passengers of the morning trains Dack to the city. A sad accident occurred this evening. A lady named Miss Siste Bevier, Who resides at No. 104 K street northwest, Washington city, while getting on the6 p.m. train to return to the city, was in a crowded car and feeling faint endeavored to leave the car, but was jammed against the tron railiag by a crowd trying to get in. Astick in the hands of some young man was forced against her side below the ribs. causing a severe coatu- sion. By the time that she was rescued the crowd had passed on and she, more dead than allve, almost fell from the train. She tmme- diately fainted and was taken by some friends and laid on a sofa and Dr. Howard called, who had her carried up to camp, where he made an examination, pronouncing the injury a serious one internally; a large amount of blood was vomited up. After some medicine had been prescribed and taken the lady recovered some What, and it is to be hoped will be able toreturn heme scon. THE SUNDAY SERVICE. The $:50 prayer and experience meeting was led by the Rev, J. C. McCauley, president of Dickinson College, and wa3 both interesting and profitable to those who were present. At 10:30, the hour for preaching, the tabernacle was filled to its utmost capacity: and the out- side seats were all cecupied. The circle was throrged with those who could not be seated. To step promenading, temporary fences were erected at different points in the cirele, bat even this failed, as the promenaders would walk from fence to fence. *fter the opening exer- cises Rev. J. Me. K. Ret] roceeded to raise the usual Sunday collection. Before passing the ‘ts, the doctor made a good begging speech.

Yet they are often put together in the past. “I wished to have gone last week.” is a common enough form of phrase. But the wish fo go was the thing past, he aid not wish to have gone, “I wished to go last week” is therefore correct. Do not, therefore, say, “I thought he would have come.” You thought he would come. Yeur thinking is of the past; but when you were thinking It was of something not past.

If he “laid bimself on the ,” he did some- thing actively, and the verb has its proper objective. AS “lay”—being common in two verbs—became a snare to the unwary, so It occurred with sI’d rather,” a contraction of “I Would rather,” but which has been read as if it were “I had,” and so we get the phrase which defies all attempts at parsing—“I had rather. But the exact counterpart of the “lay” for “lie” is curlously enough, in the word “sit.” “He sets In the north aisie;” “the house sets back In the street;” in such phrases sit 1s the obviously proper word.
