Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. BELMAR, N. J., August 24, 1898. The most pleasant feature of summer life Phere this week was the entertainment of all the children from the Home of the Mer- ciful Savior for Crippled Children at Avon. The little folks were brought over from Avon by stages sent by Miss Lindsay of the Hotel Columbia, who was their hostess for the day. Upon the arrival at the hotel the children were at once made at home, and many of the guests took a lively hand in amusing them. At 11 o’clock an enter- tainment was started in the ball rvam, con- sisting of fancy dancing, singirg and musi- cal lections, and at its conclusion a luncheon was served, which was topped off with an abundance of ice cream and cake. Then the little ones were loaded with cakes and sweetmeats, and they were sent back to the home very py, indeed. The guests of the Carleton were tendered @ progressive euchre party Tueeday even- ing by Mr. Richard Btoyle,- father of the Proprietor of the house. : The (pied Sones retin The Friday nt Euchre Club, which meets from house to house. rf: AT OCEAN GROVE oN The Last Week of the Great Camp Meeting -isOn. ve History of tie Corporation and a Resuihe of Any Day's Devotions. Di £ Special Correspondence pf The Evening Star. OCEAN GROVE, N. J., August 24, 1898. Ocean Grove, the largest camp meeting resort in Ameri¢a, is now experiencing the height of its religious season. The ten-day camp meeting, which annually marks this period, began last Friday, and will be con- tinued until néxt Tuesday noon, when, at the tolling of the auditorium bell, Bishop Fitzgerald will declare the camp meeting closed. Ocean Grove is primarily a Methodist re- sert. Twenty-eight years ago it was a wil- derness of pines and oaks on a waste of sand. A little body of Methodists, who were then the leading lights in the church, came along and selected the place for a ten days’ camp meeting. They pitched their big teit In a pretty grove a short dis- tance from the beach, and then erected small side-wall tents around it. In a year or two the annual camp meeting at Ocean Grove became very popular, and the orig- inators of the idea tormed themselves into a close corporation and organized the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association. They elected Rev. Edward S. Stokes president, and at onze proceeded to purchase every foot of land in that section lying between Wesley and Fteteher lakes and extenaing along the océan front a distance of about three-quarters of a mile. Then Ocean Grove began to grow, and the faster it grew the lighter became the corporation. it was decited at the start that no prep- erty should be sold to any one ouiright, but only leased for ninety-nine years. All transfers hear this clause. Dr. Stokes reigned supreme for twenty- seven years, and at his death, two sum- mers ago, he -was giyen an immeuse funeral, and his body lay in state in the Mg auditorium he had worked so hard co complete. Ocean Grove stands today a monument to his marvelous executive and financial abilities. The rescrt now has a summer population of about 40,000, to which 10,009 may be easily added during the camp meeting period. ‘Where the big tent was firct pitched there stands an im- mense auditorium, the largest in the coun- try, with a seating capacity of 10,000. There are five big hotels and hundreds of board- ing houses. Indeed, during camp meeting time nearly every other house on every street is filed to the roof with boardera. The big auditorium was entirely paid for by popular subscriptions at a love feast tke year it was completed, and a place in the membership of the association cannot be purchased for any price. Ocean Grove ts entered by two thorough- fares, Main street and Broadway. Thes> streets are provided with gates, which are closed and locked at midnight Saturday and not opened until daybreak Monday morn- ing. The rule concerning Sunday driving is so strict that residents are not allowed to have a hearse tr the town on Sundays in case a funeral is set for this day. Sev- eral times when there have been Sunday funerals th> péil bearers have carried the casket through the street and out of the gates to the spot where the hearse and car- riages were coimpelldd to wait. As the law also k>eps outthe gnilkmen, the residents have to send sdme member of their family to the gates Sunday mornings for their fresh milk. Ng tobagco is sold in any form Tf you take rooms at a-hotc! the proprietor may “give you® clgar,” and it 1s nobody's business if route charged something 2x- tra on your biif. Of course, no liqudts of any kind are sold. People who become accustomed to these regulations, however, find Ocean Grove a yery pleasant place to live during the sum- mer months. The same regulations have made the place what it 1s. Sinte the ope; @f the camp meeting the services have “beh continued incessantly every day. -The-first-one is called the sun- rise service. “Phe awditortum bell calls the Worshipers to,it at 5:30. This lasts.an hour, and from it ‘Of the’campers hurry home to get breakfast, while the rest proceed di- rect to the auditorfum, where the family devotions areibel at the altar. Immediately after breakfast. come three simultaneous services—th? celebrated young People’s meeting, for twenty years conduct- ed by Evangelist Yatman; the holiness, or “shouting,” meeting In the tabernacle, and the helping hand service for old people in the chapel. There js only a few minutes’ interregnum before the first public worship opens, at 10% Then is preached the first of the thre> daily sermons, which is followed by an old-fashioned Methodist after-meeting. Another sermon and after-meeting begin at 3 o'clock, which 1s followed by a special service for the children at 4 o'clock, con- ducted by Mrs. Grac? Weiser Davis, known throughout the country as “the woman Moody.” Evangelist Yatman holds a twilight serv- ice at 6:30, whieh continues until the even- ing public worship begins with the third service of the day. This 1s followed by an- other “shouting service,” at which peni- tents and converts flock forward by the score. The camp leaders have been waging war this week on the spirit of frivolity which they say has crept into the resort. This matter has been up repeatedly at the meet- ings, and the exhorters and camp officials are stout in theif denunciation of the world- lin2ss which they declare is {aking posses- sion‘of so many of Ocean Grove summer- ites, especially the young people. It was to Overcome this that the camp association, through its devotional committee, composed of Bishop J. N. Fitzgerald, president; Vic2 President J, E..Ballard and Dr. J. H. Alday, been sent out an urgent appeal to the popu- ace, SSS AT OCEAN CITY. A German With a Lantern Figure— Washington Arrivals. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. ATLANTIC CITY, N.

H. Sale, in honor of his guests, and which is always the most im- portant event of the season at Capon, took place Tucsday evening.

The Season Among the Cliff-Dwellers None Too Gay—Personal Notes of Interest. The predominating feature of the gayeties thus far at Newport, where the height of the season is past, has been the informal- ity which has reigned supreme and the im- promptu character which has marked all the details. None of the entertaining has been marked by the wecks of anticipation so general in other seasons, and what has been done outside of the dinners has been entirely monopolized by a f2w. Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt have entertained considerably, their best effort naturally be- ing the celzbration of their son’s twenty- first birthday. ‘Their musicale one night last week, at which a band of musicians cos- tumed as Rough Riders took part, was a great success. Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont and Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish have provided the great novelties in the way of hospitality, and probably kav2 done more to while away the monoteny than ever before. Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish has postponed her stable dance from Monday until Wednes- day, owing to the death of Lieutenant Tif- fany. Mrs. Brice’s entertaining was kept wait- ing for the return of her scattered family, her husband and daughter from Europe and her son Stewart from Cuba. Her dinners and dances have gone on merrily sinc, and as the family will be among the last to leave Newport their opportunities are yet abundant. From this on, life in the Berkshires will take on int>rest for those who are in it, as well as those who form their opinions from reading about it. The summer stisiness is about to be broken by the cottagers, whose house parties will be largely increased as th2 cool, invigorating days of the autumn approach. Miss Kathleen Clayton, daughter of the United States minister to Mexico, gave a birthday party lately at the legation in the City of Mexico.

Dincing Away the Last Nigh Season—Late Arriv Special Correspondence of The Fvening Star. DEER PARK, Md., August 24, 1898, The last week in August has always been the height of the season at Deer Park, and this coming one bids fair to rival all in the past. Since last Saturday there has been one continual round cf gayety. The Sat- urday night dance had the largest attend- ance of any thus far, practically all of the guests of the hotel and cottages belng prese ent to witness the exhibition of fancy dane- ing. The concert Sunday night was another of the successful musicales that have been held in the main lobby of the hotel. Wed- nesday night the regular dance was changed to a bal poudre, which was a great treat for the lovers of the beautiful. There are countless handsome young women and girls at Deer Park, and the powdered hair and old-fashioned costumes added greatly to thelr charms. Friday another exhibition of fancy dancing was given in the ball room by some of the very young children. Card parties have been the rage this week, there having been one every night, Mrs. Charles King Lord and Mrs. Harmor Denny gave euchre parties at their cot- tages. Miss DuPont, Miss Brune and Miss Drubb entertained at the hotel on three other nights. The base ball game between Deer Park and Oakland was one of the interesting events of the week, the field being lined with onlookers. The beautiful weather this week has made driving one of the chief pastimes. Many of the young people have their own traps with them, and there are a number of clever whips here. Mr. Fred Barbour of Washington drives a high-stspper to @ cart, and the Messrs. Perry and Charles Johnson of Washington are considered very good horsemen. This week's arrivels from Washington included George P. Blackiston, A. . Browne, Charles H. Johnson and Brittog Broome. the —_—_—_ Application for Divorce. Francis R.
