SCORES OF CHILDREN MADE HAPPY

Santa Claus made a stop in this vicin-
aty last night n visited many of the
Sunday schools of Jersey City and Ho-
boken. He was unable to appear in per-
son at all the schools, although he tried
his best to do so, and where he did not
attend he sent able representatives, who
distributed to the children and their
teachers and pastors the many good
things he had provided for them.
The old fellow created a decided SEN
sation by driving his sled right up the
main aisle of one of the churches he
visited, although he left his RENDERS
outside, and had several pretty little
girls pull his sled by silken ribbons.
He was vociferously received wherever
he went, and enthusiastically invited to
come again next year. The various
schools held their regular Christmas ex-
ercises and sang corals and recited Sc
Iections all bearing upon the joyous
season.
