The Warsaw Gate City
Warsaw, ILL.,, Dec. %, 1912

Saturday last our merchants had
t the biggest holiday trace they have
had for many years, and the crowd on
the street reminded one of street fair
days. Farmers and their families
came in autos, buggies, surries ana
carriages, and by noon, hitching
places were at a premium. The draw
| ing card was free picture shows at
| Dreaaland theatre, morning and af-
| ternoon, made possible by the gsner-
osity of Main street merchants and
professional men, this being the sec
ond Saturday for this new trade-draw-
ling scheme, which has proven SO pop
nlar that doubtless it will be repeat
ed, or perhaps some other popular
scheme may be tried to crowd our
| streets with bargain seekers. Anoth-
er attractive feature of the day was
/ the arrival of Santa Claus at the Ark
store at p. m. where he was greet
ed by an immense crowd of young
lsters of both sexes, who soon formed
a procession, headed by Santa in a
small decorated wagon drawn by a
Shetland pony, and paraded the
length of Main street, twice, the chill
dren blowing tin trumpets, Their
ages varied from little tots of two
years up to boys and girls of eight
Or nine. 1t was a great treat to see
their smiling happy faces and was
enough to fill the hearts of all be-
holders with the true Christmas spirit.
I AT the conclusion of the parade,
(which was witnessed by hundreds OF
i people, it was grouped at the inter
section Of Main and Third streets,
land photos taken by DR.. Thos. Hartley
and H. w. Crenshaw; after which the
children were drawn UP in single
j line in the middle of Main street,
facing north, and Santa Claus passed
lalcng the line and gave each child a
luackage of candy. The line extended
almost from Third to Fourth streets.
For the past two weeks there has been
a Santa Claus postoffice at the Ark,
and many cute, funny and pathetic
letters have been received, which
would make entertaining and amusing
reading for the public were they pub
llished While this Santa Claus

NEW YORK, Dec. 2s-All that
could be said of the New York stock
market today was that it moved al

direction and on the other hand with

stocks declined half point or so in
the opening hour and then made up
the losses and advanced to a level
considerably higher than Saturdays

reaction on Europe's stock exchanges.
There was naturally much talk OF
the announcement of the Intended
recommendation OF the Pujo COM
mittee purporting to be a leakage"
from that committees membership.
The source of these views OF the
committees purpose was perhaps -
bit transparent. but it reflected whas
is passing through the committees
mind. The leakage is quite posi-
bly, premature; its purport is at all
events more ineligible than the re-
cent and highly original suggestion
from its inner circle. that clearing

Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman, did his
last boxing yesterday for his heavy
weight championship battle with Jack
johnson Thursday afternoon. The fire.
man went twelve hard rounds and fin
ished as fresh as a daisy. AS he tossed
the big training bout mitts aside, he
said:
Il have had all the boxing 1 need for
that big fellow. He always could out
box me, but boxing alone will not win
this fight l shall devote the rest of my
time to limbering up exercise and build
ing up for the clash with the negro.
l can say that with my boxing prepara-
ton finished 1 never felt more confident
in my life. 1 will be champion of the
world Fourth of July night"
Two thousand Las Vegas fans who
long to see the white race redeemed
pugilistically watched the fireman go
through his work. Jim looked burly
and mighty wicked.
johnson did his usual eight miles on
rounds with his sparring partners in
the afternoon. His helpers give him lit
tie benefit in the boxing line and it is
known Johnson regrets that he did not
secure better men. Jack announced that
he would box again tomorrow and Tues
day. He weighed 2131a pounds when he
finished.

that for the varsity fours. and the
classic eight-oared shell races Cornelrs
crews swept across the line a winner.
In the first race Columbia looked to
have the jump on the crews at the start,
but the Red and White four crept up
and finished with steady plugging
stroke. The pace told on Columbia,
who dropped back to second. Penn took
fourth.
Wisconsin was the chief contender in
the short race for the freshmen. The
Western oarsmen pushed Courtneys s
Youngsters to fine finish, Cornell WIN
ming by a sCant length. In the banner
event of the afternoon all of the crews
got away to good start. At the mile
Cornell had gained third of a length
on Columbia, which was second. STAN
ford dropped behind at the start.
Cornell drew ahead at the middle
distance, and Wisconsin spurted up to
Columbia. BY the time the bridge
was reached Cornell had put open
water between it and Columbia Cornell

Columbia by good margin Penn was
never a contender, and Stanford drop
