The annual camp meeting is now at its very height. From early morn until well toward midnight anthems of praise and shouts of rejoicing are going up from the lips of saints and repenting sinners. Neither rain nor any other thing prevents the thousands of campers who are packed into the town from attending most of the eleven daily services. These people come to Ocean Grove to attend camp meeting, and it makes but little difference what service it is, whether it is at sunrise or at 10 o'clock at night, the crowds are always on hand. The heavy rain which fell one or two mornings did not prevent the worshipers from getting out in large numbers to the sunrise consecration meeting to prepare themselves for the subsequent services of the day. As the encampment draws toward the close, the enthusiasm of the people waxes greater. Religious fervor is heighten- ing rapidly with every meeting, and to- morrow, which is called “Camp Sunday,” will s2e the series of meetings at its very culmination. Tomorrow will be the last big day of the camp, and the most interest- ing feature of the program will be the love feast at 8.30 o'clock. The service will be introduced by a general all-around hand- shake, everybody shaking his neighbor's hand. Then will come the testimonies from the people who have been helped during the meetings. Last year there were speak- ers from every state in the Union and from several foreign countries. The utmost in- formality prevails at this love feast. Often a dozen or a score of people are speaking at ofMee and many sing their testimonies. All in all the feast is the most unique service of the whole year in Ocean Grove. In some respects, however, this year's camp has not come up to the expectation of the here; leaders. The crowds have; been but, although the enthusiasm has it has so far hardly reached its tion. Some people are inclined to attribute this change, in a measure at least, to the absence of Dr. Stokes, the late president, who had the power of work- ing on the emotions of the multitude with singular effectiveness. Several hundred conversions are already reported, but the number will hardly reach the 2.000 mark, which has been about the usual harvest of lute years, The leaders of the various meetings will make one more grand con- certed effort tomorrow to bring the unsaved tc the mourners’ bench. The encampment will end at noon Tuesday. At that hour, as the bell tolls three times, the camp will be declared closed “in the name of th Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.” Among the late arrivals at the hotels SSeS eatesteeeatendeseentesheseeeatesesetethetioetesiestectetentecetnn Decorated Dinner Sets.. $7.75 Box Couches, extra value $8.75 Oak Chamber Sets... . . .$10.00 Parlor Suites, 5 pieces. .$14.00 4-ft.

BUCK ROE BEACH, Va., August 26, 1897, August 25, 1897. Buck Roe Beach, situated a few miles above Old Point Comfort, if not possessing quite the same advantages of situation that the latter resort can boast, has a vastly better bathing beach, and attracts many who consider their daily dip in salt water cf first importance. The beach is well nigh perfect, shelving gently, and of the finest sand, and in breezy: weather the waves sweep. in through the capes and give the place a fine surf, though it is rarely so high as to make the bathing unpleasant. The view which one commands in a Stroll along the board walk is equal to that from Old Point, and wherever the eye is turned it encounters the countless white sails which dot the ho- rizon, and the dark hulls of many ocean steamers which find anchorage in Hamp- ton Roads. Besides the many passing ves- sels of commerce, the ships of the white squadron are often seen here, and the ever- shifting panorama is of surpassing beauty. Back a short distance from the beach the surrounding country is not notably attract- ive, but it is but a short distance to many points of interest. First of these Is Fortress Monrce, and witnessing guard mount is an unfailing source of diversion for the vis- itors. It would be bard to gas pleasanter walk than that around the m ramparis of this stanch old fort. Newport News and Hampton are also to be reached by the electric cars from Buck Koe, and on Sundays many attend service there, largely, it is feared, to get a glimpse of the historic St. John’s, which was built in 1860, and which is surrounded by ap old-fashioned burying ground, con- taining many quaint stones of ancient date. Then there remain the Soldiers’ Home to be visited and the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute for the training of Indians and negroes. It longer excursicns are desired, the so- journers at Buck Roe Beach are withia easy distance of Jamestown, Yorktown, Williamsburg and that section of Virginia which is so rich in historical associations.
