THREAD CITY CYCLERS AT THE RIDGES There Were Many Features, Including Norwich Speschmakers, and a Big Day Rosulted.

The weather was ideal and about 150 attended, a number of automobile parties being present. Be- =ides the local delegation there were guests from Norwich, inchiding mem- bers of the board of aldermen and city council of that city, who made speech- es and several of the Norwich visitors entertaimed with songs and stories, Mayor Dunn and other members of the Wiilimantic city government attended and made post-prandial remarks. Dr. Jen Ridder, he millionaire tramp” was on hand and gave an interesting personal sketch and there was & mov- ing picture machine at the grounds that took the company in action in autos, parades, and at dinner. A fea- ture of the day was a close baseball game between the Cyclers and a nine from the Thread Mill league, resulting in the score of 3 to 2 in favor of the Cyclers. The athletic events included a tug-of-war contest between Willi- mantic and Norwich, the Thread City contestants being the victors. The fat men's race was won by Manager A. L. Weatherhead of the local telephone exchange. Eddie Russ won the race and Dr. Faatz the nationality ra0e. A German band furnished mu- sle.

Saturday in the Mill League. The Mill league games at the fair grounds, Saturday, were close and in- teresting, the game between the Office and Dye House nines being very ex- citing, resulting in the score of 3 to 2 in favor of the Office nine.

A;h;ruudu night, the time of the spec city meeting, approaches, in- terest in the munieipal fce question that is to be settled at that time, in- creases, Pleasant street residents feel that Instead of appropriating $8,000 for municipal ice houses that sum, or a portien of it, could better.be spent for improving Pleasant street. . The sentiment of taxpayers and voters who think seems to be opposed to the meas- ure as they say #hat no city has ever tried the municipal ice experiment and made a success of the yenture. Bus- iness men think “Taxpafer's” commu- nication in Saturday's Bulletin fairly stated the reasons why the measure should be defeated: That there wiil be a large attendance at the special meet- ing tomorrow evening seems certain. Excelsiors Hold a Bake. The Excelsior Hook and Ladder Co. had a clambake, served by Fritz Horn- berger, at the grounds near Ayer's ice house Sunday. The bake was thor- oughly enjoyed and athletic sports, baseball and a general good time was the outing’s program. POLICE COURT CASES. Little Son of Louis Prue Tells of His Father’'s Conduct. In the police court Saturday, the pitiful story was told to Judge Shea by a little lad, the son of Louis Prue, who tried twice Friday at the police station to commit suicide. The little fellow told of how his father became intoxicated, called his wife and chil- dren vile names and locked them out of doors. Judge Shea sentenced Prue to 60 days in jail for drunkenness and breach of the peace. Prue asked the court to be placed on probation, sayv- ine he was continually nagged by his wife. Charles Barber, who was released from the Hartford county jail, last Thursday for intoxication, was sen- tenced to thirty Zays in the Windham county jail for the same offense by Judge Shea. Daniel Sweet was fined $7 and costs for stealing two sweaters consigned to J. F. Carr & Co., at the freight house last week.

WILLIMANTIC CAMP GROUND. | “Big Sunday” Greeted With Ideal Weather and All the Meetings Were Largely Attended and Fervent— Closing Service of Camp Meeting This Morning. More auspicious’ weather could not have greeted the attendants at the i camp than dawned upon them yester- d. morning. Big Sunday” opened with a sunrise meeting in the tabernacle at 6, led by | Rev. J. B. Aldrich of Uncasville. At | 8.30 in the auditorium the secretary of i the association, Rev. F. C. Baker, con- ducted an inspiring love feast at which 25 songs were sung and 101 tes- timonies given. At the close hundreds arose signifying they would spoken had there been opportunity.

T = eriek W, Coleman of Nerwich read the seriptures and red prayer. The district superintendent made announce- or, rookiine, Mass., the . His text was a phrase in Matthew 1 39, “For My Sake.” These are the words of Jesus. The speaker opened with a descrip- tion of the famous picture, Diana or Christ. The beautiful Christian young woman shows by her rapt gaze that for Christ's sake she gives up her friends, her lover and her life. Christian motive makes men make great sacrifices apd undertake great enterprises. America is fun-mad and i money-mad. Glorious results have i followed from the efforts of those who have lived for _Christ sake. Thi: principle builds men into highest character and greatest efficiency. The church is the biggest institution on earth. The men with Christ in them are the people we admire rather than the bloody warriors of old. The audi- ence followed closely the words of the eloquert speaker. Gate Meeting. At 1 o'clock the evangelist, Rev. H. E. Dunnack, led a meeting under the big pine near the upper gate. Afternean Service. The afternoon audience was various- ly estimated from two to three thou- sand. All the seats under the broad roof of the auditorium were occupied ?‘nd hundreds sat outside under the ee. The usual praise service was held. Prayer was offered by Dr. S. O. Ben- ton of New York. Capt. H. M. Randall took a few moments in which to pre- sent the need of $1,000 to pay for the tabernacle roof and other expenses. In a comparatively short time the money wasg rlJzadn, the executive committes taking $430, the Ladies’ Improvement society $100, David Gordon of Hazard- ville and H. C. Murray of Willimantic each $50. The balance came in smaller amounts. A beautiful solo, The Light from Heaven, was sung by Mrs. Arthur An- drew of Providence, violin obligato by Mrs, Mary Benjamin of Washington, R. L. organist, Mrs. William W. Carter, | New Jersey. Dr. -.ranz Preaches. Dr. John Kranz of Newark confer- ence was the preacher of the after- noon. He read a portion of the 17th chapter of Luke, taking the 17th verse for the texi, “Were there mnot ten cleansed? Where are the nine?’ The awful disease of leprosy is a type of the more awful disease of sin. The lepers obeyed Christ's command to go | to the priest. But they had not gone far up the road of faith before they found the flush of health coming. But only one, however, went back to thank Jesus. There. is more praying than praising in these days. Human in- gratitude presents an anomaly. Men want God's benefits but are not grate- ful enough for them to submit to his rule Dr. Odell pronounced the benediction at_the close of this uplifting sermon. The 6 o'clock Epworth league service was held in the tabernacle and led by Otis H. Green of,East Glaston- Evangelist Dunnack preached the closing sermon of the camp meeting at | 7 o'clock in the auditorium. In spite of the fact that crowds went away there was a large audience who great- Iy appreciated his earnest discourse. Closing Service This Morning. The closing Service of the camp meeting was held at 6 o'clock this (Monday) morning and was led by the | district superintendent, Rev. G. Scrivener, who left the grounds after- | ward with his family for a brief respite. Evangelist Eloquent Saturday Night. Evangelist Dunnack gave an elo- quent discourse Saturday evening upon | Paul's Changed Life. God opened the | eves of Paul that day on the road to Damascus. As he looked upon hu- manity through the eyes of Jesus, he saw men through the lens of immor- tal loves Boys, girls, men and women are great because of their possibilities. | Some may be away from Father's house 'but they may come back. If religion has mysteries, so has science. Matter, motion, thought, language. self-con- sciousness—all are inexplicable vet we {use all. If we test God's promises, we | will find them true. There were hundreds occupying the } auditorium seats, the afternoon and evening trains and trolleys having brought a large influx of visitors to the | camp. Miss Martha Brown, of Norw.a | Town, came up to spend the Sabbatn. Rufus Stanton of Norwich Town act- ed as special policeman through the day. Dr. ‘S. O. Benton, recording secre- tary of the Missionary society of the Methodist Episcopal churgh, came to the grounds Saturday for a day or two. The Prescott double bass, under the skilful manipulation of Artist John W. Rose, of South Windham, furnishes a flne sub-bass to the reed organ. It is like the pedal stop in a pipe organ. John Gorman, Jewett City, for many years a cottagé owner here, greeted friends yesterday at the camp. Judge A. E. Purple, and A. J. Silli- man, motored here from Moodus ves- terday accompanied by the Misses Ab- bie Purple and Sylvia Arnold. Mrs. Jane E. Read, Worcester, who led the children's meetings this sea- son for the thirty-third time, reports a record breaking attendance at the tabernacle at vesterday's one o'clock meeting. There were by actual count 155 young people and children and 25 adults. The children raised this yvear in their mite boxes enough to main- tain the orphan girl in China named after Mrs. Read. Philip Keator was made a lifé member of the King's Her- alds by the payment of §10. The outer grounds near the barn were well filled with carriages and automobiles yesterday, ‘which came from miles around. Among others was noticed the large red moving van of C. D. Joslyn, Norwich. The trolleys ran frequentiy both ways, forenoon and afternoon, and brought crowds of vis- itors. Saturday Services. Certainties of the Gospel was the theme presented Saturday morning in the auditeriumn by the Rev. . Moore of Attleboro, M Prayer was offered by Rev. I H. Critchlow of Burnside. 1 John i. 3, was the text. John talked about what he had seen and heard and known. The things we know in our Inner consclousness are the only real things of life. We need no argument to prove father's and mother’s love, Nor can any man argue away Jesus’ love. The gospel of the everlasting yes and no is ours. positive. God is not sour and small- minded, nor does He have a bad dis- bosition that wants to rob men of gladnéss. Rather he will put in tfue gladness that lasts. He wants to save us and make us prove that his yoke is easy and his burden light. A wide awake testimony meeting followed in which many took part. The benediction was pronounced by Rev. Heénry D. Robinson of Attleboro, Mass. Union Meeting. At 1 o'clock in the tabernacle there wae a combination meeting of the Ep- worth_lsague and. the children. Jane E. Read had charge. The plats | It is | They 't go back on the e church or Jesus. M ‘business and clul ‘was sung by the children. In the auditorium at 2 p. m. there was a hundred. Rev. (s of prayed. offering was taken. Miss Hotchkise 5f Meriden sang Come Unto Me, accos on the organ by E. M. Wheeler. The sermon was preached by Rev. A. E. Legg of Danlelson. The Mission of Jesus was his subject, and the text was John x. 10, “I am céme that they might have life, and that they t have it more abundantiy.” Christ's sole mission was to bring life to man, dead in trespasses and sin, by revealing the heart of the Father. Sin {8 the great waster of life. ' It was not the mind of God Christ came to reveal. Men find its workings in creation by study. But we find God's heert only as Jesus reveals it to us. A thousand roblems may be left unexplained, but gasua will open your heart if you let h):m and give you a vision of the Fa- ther. After this clear cut discourse Evan- gelist Dunnack conducted a prayer service. Notes, Mrs. Phebe Bromley, wife of Rev. C. B. Bromley, Providence, spent the last two days of the camp meeting at the Uncasville house.

Keep Your Blood Cool by Right Kind of Food It’s largely a matter of selecting the hot weather diet with reason. and Enjoy Hot Weather Summer is Nature’s season of activity—seed-time, growing-time, harvest-time —a time of expansion, energy—and Man is influenced to do his part—to put forth greater effort because act ivity is in the very air. BUT—caution is necessary to avoid excessive heat from combustion (diges- tion) of heavy, greasy food, (Nature’s way of generating body-heat in winter) in addition to the heat of the summer atmosphere. Grape=Nut is the 1deal Food for hot weather because, being largely predigested (and concen- trated) in the making at the factory, it is quickly absorbed, a small quantity afford- ing great endurance with little effort in digesting it.
