OLD SANTA CLAUS Is HERE
Merry Christmas Entertainments Open
the Holiday Season
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL TREES
Elaborate Display at the Presbyterian
Church-Public School Enter
tainments

The glad holiday season of peace and
good will was quite generally ceIe-
brated throughout the Bay cities last
evening. While the Christmas gifts
may not this year equal in costliness
those Of the halcyon days of the boom,
before the failure of the Barings, they
were none the less generally ex-
changed, and We're equally sincere
tokens Of the good will of the givers.
Santa Claus found some excuse for des-
cending into almost every chimney on
the Bay. Nearly every church and
Sunday school organization has held,
or will hold Christmas entertainments
for plucking the fruit Off Christmas
trees. The majority Of these enter
tainments were held last evening.
The Sunday school Of the First Pres
byterian church, of Fairhaven, excelled
in the realistic and elaborate manner in
which the brightest Of all of childhoods
myths, the coming of Santa Claus, was
represented for the entertainment of
the children. On the pulpit platform,
fronting the audience, was arranged a
scene representing the cross section of a
cottage from the snow-covered roof TO
the floor, with an old-fashioned CHM
ney and lire place, from the mouth of
which were hanging the stockings of
the sleeping children of the house. Just
at the proper time the Jingle of sleigh
bells was heard, and old santa Claus,
with "A team of six prancing reindeers,
emerged from the rear of the church
and gafioped through the audience To
the cottage. Santa Claus then scaled
the roof and dropped through the
chimney into the room below and
proceeded to distribute the
presents TO the members of the
sunday school. Santa Claus was inn
persOnated by Eugene Woodin. Pre-
ceding his appearance the following
program was rendered:
Singing ,...... ...-...... Joy TO the World"
Responsive Reading ....................
| Recitation December Days" nv
Twenty five Children In Infant Glass
| Recitation, How Mntiades Got Ahead
! Of santa Claus" ..... Miss Myrtle Toles
Recitation, The Bishops Coming .....
Song, heralding the Coming OF santa
Claus. .............. ........ by the Boys
A beautifully bound copy Of Tenny-
sons complete works was presented to
Superintendent G.. +. Warner, as a
testimonial from the Sunday school.
The church was tastefuiiy decorated
throughout with evergreens. Two
Christmas trees were placed on either
side of the pulpit. The church was
filled beyond its seating capacity.

 as to Future Promotions.
 Among those named for the position of next major of the Second regiment are Captain Brown of the New Haven Grays, Captain Sucher of Company E, Captain Creed of Company c, and ex-Captain Callahan. It is thought likely that Major Burpee will be prom oted to be lieu tenant-colonel, vice Lieutenant Colonel Lee re- signed. The reasons for Lieutenant Colonel Lees action are thus stated: It has been in timated for some time that Colonel Doherty in- tended to resign and that his mantle would fall upon the shoulders of Colonel Lee by right of succession and also by New Haven's right to have the colonelcy located here. This intima- tion has been rudely shattered lately by a pre- nounced attitude on Colonel Doherty part to remain at the head of the regiment till after the
