Christmas passed very quietly here.
I think we saw more drunken men on
the streets Christmas eve than ever
before in any place. Mostly young
men well dressed and noisy. Evidently
last wear they had some pretty rlotous
times down town on Christmas eve,
for the chief of police announced thar

the first exhibition of rowdyism would

to blow them in the faces OF three
cops and were quickly given 10 uhuer-

that if they did it again they would
be arrested. 50 that, as J sald, II was
very quiet downtown.
At midnight a great crowd gathered
about the Saint Aloysins church
where it was announced four from
bones~would play the "Odeste Fideles
at the last stroke of twelve from the
ION of the high tower of the church.
PINT for some reason or other the
crowd which packed the streets about
the building was disappointed. Ihere
were services in the church. whlch

trombones rent the quiet night win
