 Reception on Ward Street-St. Elizabeth
 society's Celebration.
 Old yet ever new is the festival of Halloween. It has associations and memories that are distinctly different from any of the other numerous and familiar restivals of the year, To the young it is a day that is fondly look ed forward to with an amount of glee that pertains to no other festival or day in all the calendar year. To the old it is fraught with many pleasant memo- ries of bye-gone days. Poets have sung in its honor and men of letters have written of it's weird and fairy associa- tions. It has always been a day of days among the Scotch, and no matter in whatever cline or country they congre- gate they never fail to give its due prominence among their annual meet ings.
 The Caledonians of this city have for years past duly celebrated it, and not withstanding the inclemency of the weather last night did not omit to turn out in large numbers to celebrate it. The entertainment took the form of a sociable with dance in Loomis' acad- emy. The proceedings opened with the grand march, which was led lby Chief R. D. Pryde and Miss Isa Simpson, about fifty couples taking part. Dur ing the evening songs and recitations were intermixed with the dances, in cldding several Gaelic songs with Eng fish translation.
 The proceedings were brought to Q close by singing Burns song of world wide reputation, "Auld Lang Syne." The whole arrangements reflected great credit on the following committees, who hade the arrangements in hand:
 Floor manager-Chief Robert D. Pryde
 Committee of arrangements-Davi Blackie, chairman; Charles A. Menzies, Charles Munroe, William Paterson, Rob- ert D. Pryde.
 Floor committee-John Menzie Sam uel MacLauchland, William Robertson. William Anderson.
 THE SECOND ANNUAL TROLLEY
 RIDE OF THE "T. X. M."
 The above named society, composed of many of the we'll known and promi- nept young men of Fair Haven and the annex enjoyed with their lady friends their second annual trolley ride and supper. The previous event of the same nature took place in the spring of 1894 and was thoroughly enjoyed by every one who had the pleasure of being with them.
 Last evening the party gathered at the drug store of J. T. Hillhouse in Fair Haven and then proceeded to the New Havenl green, where their car was in waiting for them. The car was beautifully decorated with silk and bunting, flags and along either side was stretched the initials of the so- ciety in large letters i. e., the T. K M. The party, consisting of ten couples, started from the green at oclock and went to Fair Haven and Montowese and from there to Westville; a short stop was made here and they proceeded to Woodmont, where an elegant repast was served them, which would have done credit to any of the New Haven caterers
 1t evidently was a, source of pleasure to the conductor and motorman, for they expressed their wish that the T. x. M. would go immediately on an- other trolley ride, for with the exception of their having escorts they partici- pated in every way the enjoyments and festivities oe the affair.
 Everything went along finely and to the satisfaction of every one except a couple of the young ladies' who did not see why at an interval of every five or ten minutes, the young men as if with one accord would start and shout "Rah! Rah! Rah!' and a lot of other words which they could not re- member. The fact was it was a new "cry" which they had adopted some what after the college style and a. thing the young men seemed to be quite proud of
