The spacious vestry of the Holy Trinity
Church, Hedley avenue, was crowded 10
the doors last evening by the young folks
of the parish, and many of the older MEM
bers OF the congregation joined in making
the occasion one long to be remembered.
Rev. FIR. Farrelly, pastor OF the church,
had promised the children OF the Sunday
school good time at Christmas, and TO
Judge from the animated countenances OF
the little ones, the bright and happy light
shining from their smiling eyes, he well
and faithfully carried out his promise.
Fully 1000 children and older persons
enjoyed the excellent program prepared
for the evenings enjoyment, and from the
opening chorus to the last number in the
Cantata the immense audience listened
with rapt attention.
The title of the cantata was "The Christ
mas Party the various characters being
taken by the children OF the Sunday
School. The entertainment was opened
by the singing of the Selves Chorus" by
Masters Joseph Grant, Leo Bannon, Martin
Murray, Thomas Mannion, Willie Riley
and John McLarkey. This chorus was one
of the most pleasing numbers on the pro-
gram, and called fourth repeated rounds of
applause.
Miss Lena Smith rendered a vocal solo,
entitled, "Asthore," at the conclusion OF
which she received well merited recogni-
ton. A violin duett, entitled, Evening
Tribune's March," by Miss Henrietta
Martin and Miss Sadie Smith, evoked tre-
mendous applause. These young ladies
are expert artists, and it seemed really
wonderful to hear such soul stirring music
from the hands of such youthful artists.
The cantata consisted of solos, choruses,
recitations and readings, and to judge by
the careful arrangement of the different
parts, il was a Christmas party indeed.
The following young misses took part in
the cantata: Lottie Casey, Lizzie Canon,
Maggie Martin, Annie Grant, Mary Null
larkey, Sarah Mannion, Lizzie Linn, Mag
gle Fleming, Maggie Cooney, Emma Riley,
Mary Forrestal, Lucy Donavan, Mary Nc
Gee, Winnie Clancy, Jennie Sullivan,
Katie Farrell, Theresa Shea, Katie Murray,
Mary Burns, Mary Mulraney and Nellie
Pierson.
Great credit is due Rev. B. F. Redihan,
the assistant pastor, and Miss Nellie
! Cooney, the organist, for the grand sue
cess attending the Christmas party; both
worked increasingly, and the success at
tending their efforts amply repaid them
for their trouble. A word of commenda-
tion is due the children for the excellent
manner in which they performed their
parts.
After the entertainment Rev. Father
Farrelly gave out the Christmas presents,
and hundreds Of little hearts were made
glad by the thoughtfulness of their kind
pastor.
Ep,bury VI. r.. Church Festival.
The annual Christmas festival of the
Embury NJ. +. Church was held Saturday
evening, at Grand Army Hall, Central
street. The entertainment consisted of a
we'll selected piece, entitled, ''The Angels
Message" which was rendered by the
young people Of the church. The exer-
cises of the evening were opened by an

lowed by singing of the "Angels Mes
sage" Prayer by Rev. l.. G. Horton, and
responsive readiug followed. The rest of

and readings as published in Saturday
evenings TRIBUNE.
At the close of the entertainment an at

tributed to the young people. Refresh
ments were served after the distri button,
consisting OF creams, cakes, etc. A good
sized audience was present, and the animal

Displayed Great Courage.
Two horses attached to a low-gear be-
longing to the Green & Daniels Manufact-
uring Co., were left standing at the top of
the Green and Daniels Hill Saturday after
noon, and becoming frightened for some
unknown reason started down the hill on
q wild run. They continued across the
bridge towards Mill street, which at that
particular place was unusually crowded
with sleighs and pedestrians, and looked
IS IL serious and fatal results would be the
outcome II the maddened steeds were not
stopped. Richard Mckay saw the threat
eneU Oanger, anu AZ tne TlSk OI n1S own lie
sprang in front of the infuriated animals,
bringing them to a stop before any serious
harm had been done. Mckay was
warmly congratulated for his courage by
the possible victims OF the runaways.
