The Supreme Moment.

Gen. Harrfes and his assistants FORMED
the children in line Immediately after the
show and started them toward the ante
room on the right of the main entrance to
the hall. where the presents were kept. AS
each child passed through he was given a
toy OF some kind and candy and fruit. The
supply of toys seemed inexhaustible. and
included almost everything that could be
thought of as appropriate for children be-
tween the ages Of one month and fourteen
years. Dolls Of the kind that open and shut
their eyes. sleds. books OF all kinds. includ-
Ing Mother Goose melodies; games of all
kinds. toy wagons. blocks to build minia-
ture houses with. and almost everything
else child could wish for.
These were given out as quickly as pos
sible. 80 as to avoid the least possible con-
fusion. The children were passed from one
member of the reception committee to an
other. Gen. Harries and his assistant would
give out toys: another man took the child
passed him to another assistant who had
charge Of the apples. When the boy re-
ceived an apple he was passed on to the
man In charge of the oranges. who dealt
out a good big specimen of the California
fruit. and then passed him on to another
man. whose duty 1t was to find his parents
for him. This was done in much the same
manner as the guests at reception at the
White House find their carriages. The
member OF the reception committee would
inquire the names, and then call them out
at the entrance. Several other members of
the committee in other parts of the hall
would repeat the name, and q happy family
would be united in q short time.
The reception began at 1880 o'clock and
continued until H. There were in attend
ance six policemen and six members Of the
fire department. Each OF these officers was
given presents for all Of his children at the
conclusion of the distribution to the chill
dren OF the company employees. Gen. Har-
ries had complete charge Of the entertain
mAnt cd all he
ments. The committee of employees of the
company that assisted him included: Gem
