esting Occasion.

ven Baptist union was held in the new

church last evening. There was a large
attendance and it was most success
full and enjoyable occasion. 1t was the
first time the new chapel had been used
for social purposes.
The banquet, served by the ladies of
the church, was very creditable af-
fair The tables We're arranged on the
first and basement floors and looked
very attractive. All the visitors spoke
highly of the fine arrangements of the
new chapel.
After the banquet there were some
interesting exercises on the program
over which Hon. Francis Wayland
president of the union, presided The
first number was a vocal selection by
a Yale quartet, who sang several times
during the evening.
Rev. DR.. Sage, pastor of the church,
gave an address of cordial welcome to
all present. He spoke of the aid rem
dered by the Baptists of New Haven
towards the building of the new chapel,
particularly of the donations of Dean
Wayland, Pierce N. Welch and Mrs.
Winchester, who each contributed 81
500
President Wayland then made one of
his characteristically witty speeches,
and was warmly applauded He then
introduced Rev. ]. r. Elder, D. D., of
Albany, who gave the address of the
evening. 1t was highly interesting
talk and was listened to with close at
tention.
The program throughout was inter
esting, and the anniversary was one
of the best ever held by the Baptist
union.

Mems Association Entertains-Holds a
Mock Session Common Council.
The Mems association of Dwight
Place church gave a novel and instruc-
tive entertainment to their friends last
evening in the form of a mock session
of the city's common council.
Several members of the association
have served on the common council al
ready and the rest had a grand op-
portunity to practice up for future hon
ors at the city hall.
The members were duly sworn in to
the council, and the following officers
were appointed: President, ]. B.
North; sheriff, F. H. Belden; clerk,
Frank S. Platt
The Dwight Place church councilmen
at once went to work in manner that
would have done credit to their city
hall brethren.
President ]. c. North guided the pro-
ceedings of the session with an ease
born of experience in that line.
Many petitions and resolutions were
presented and acted upon or referred
to their appropriate committees and on
the whole a large amount of business
was rushed through the meeting.
AT one point of the session a sue
cessful effort was made to break the
quorum, and just here the benefit of
a muscular sheriff was shown, as the
incumbent of that office was sent forth
to bring the recreant ones, which he
did successfully.
There were many amusing petitions
presented and discussed in the same
spirit by the council, among these one
asking an appropriation to provide
umbrellas and mackintoshes for ladies
while waiting for the trolley cars and
another to give up the rest of Chapel
street, between Church and Temple
streets, to the trolley lines, was vigor-
ously discussed. a motion to paint
city hall green in honor of Erin was
defeated. After the council had ad-
iourned cake and ice cream were
served.
The object of this meeting was to
arouse interest in the association work
and is the first meeting since the new
officers were elected. The officers are:
President, D. a. Alden; secretary,
Wells Campbell; treasurer, Frank H.
Belden, jr.
