Correspondence of the American Republican,
New York, Dec 5, 1915.

your paper when at home, and being at present
in New York, thought proper to appriso you
of few events that have come under my OBJ
servaton. Yesterday was Thanksgiving,
and, indeed, | doubt very much If the folks
further down, with all their wonted Dragging
about Thanksgiving and immolation of mince
and pumpkin pies, can outstrp the NewYork
ers. In the morning the church goers turned
out and repaired to their respective churches
TO carry out the most important part to which
the day is set apart; the churches being out and
the members arriving at home, every one APP
peared to give themselves to ealing, and ge-
neral jollhcaton for the remainder the day.
A friend at whose house was fortunate
enough to receive an invitation to dinner, had
no less than a dozen turkeys on his table,
cooked in almost as many ways, so you can
judge from that how they do things, when the
company did not number over twenty. After
dinner | took a stroll down Broadway towards
the Battery, this you will recollect was tho
burnt district, but so great change Las the
hand of improvement effected that you would
hardly Judge there had been fire any where
4 near, only for the number of new houses you
see clustered together and some of them of the
most magnificent description.
The theatres last evening, put forth their
strongest attractions, stopped II few minutes
at the Park-how many pleasant associations
are connected with the time honOred Park; !
recolect when the company Of that establish
ment comprised J. Mason, Ritchings. Wheat
! ly, II. Placide, w. Latham, J. Fisher, Tom
! BiakeIy, not forgetting the immortal John Po-
vcY, with Mesdamcs 5. Chapman, Wheatiy,
| Garner, Dure, Vernon, SC. That was COM
| pany to talk about--hnt to resume II. Piaclde
was on for Sir Able Handy, and | never see
/ him in any of his favorite parts but it recalls
the eight of oheis.n As wanted 10 look in
at the houses did not stay long at the Park,
but open leaving | could not but think "how
are the mighty fallen"
On my way Mp town stopped at Palmos,
in Caanbers-st,, to take peep at tie Serena
ders: they had i crowded house, as they usa-
ally have wherever they 20. Pamo's is a re-
markably handsome little theatre, and should
think it 'yaS very well adapted for the trans
mission of sweet sounds. From Palmo's
next went to the BOwery, where they had an
overlooking house. Ms, Shaw is at present
the principal star at this establishment. Her
Constance i'll Knowles Glove Chaso,n is be-
you'd all praise, and so the audience appeared
to think, iJr they applauded her to the echo
The company at this house numbers several
excellent performers, the principal Of whom
are, J. X. Scott, Davenport, Elddaway, Sc
Leaving the Bowery, next went to the OIym-
