In nearly all of tile churches watch meetings were held, club rooms and - lodges kept open houso until early In tho morning, residences were tho sceno of gay functions, all on account of the ccnten nlal epoch. Tho street cars worked nearly two hours overtime carrying belated revel ers home, and thero was a great demand for Jehus when nt last tho cars ceased running.
