NEW YEARS EVE"?" HOP.
A Little Previous And The Year Bidden
Farewell a Day Too Soon.

keeping pace with the progress OF
the times, the rush and push of the
twentieth century, the brigade OF
midshipmen, not to be outdone in the
race for go-aheadedness and getting
/ on the band wagon, had their New
Years-eve CD hop twenty-four hours
/ ahead of time.
New Years came this year on Mon
day today-and New Year r's-eve
falling on Sunday, precluded the pos
sibility Of a hop at the Naval Acad-
emy. The hop regularly scheduled
for December so, therefore, was a
substitute, and not to be outdone,
even if day previous, all the form
and ceremony, pomp and glory of
of the new, there got US guessing.
Saturday nights hop was a beau
tiful social event. Mrs. Bryan, wife
of Paymaster Samuel Bryan, U. S.
N, received with Midshipman W. f.
Carley of the first class.
Mrs. Bryan, always gracious and
charming, looked handsome in a gray
messa.ine veiled in chiffon, with
touches of black velvet and amethyst.
Her jewels were amethyst and pearls.
The hop was an unusually large one,
and there were a great many very
beautiful young girls present and
many handsome matrons. The gowns
were all fresh and new, and every va
riety Of color and texture, the shim-
mering satins and those veiled with
ringing out the old and in the New
Year, was done Saturday night.
At midnight the lights were turned
out, and while all present stood in
darkness, the bugler sounded taps"
to the old year, and, so far as the
Naval Academy was concerned, 1911
went out at midnight December 80,
and not last night. As the last echo
of taps" over the grave of the old
year reverberated through the gym
nasium, Miss Seed, of Kentucky struck
eight bells, ~ clock, Immediately the
lights were turned on, reveille was
sounded and Happy New Years"
were said, and 1.-The Star-Spangled
Banner" proclaimed the hop ended.
According to the Naval Academy
the year 1912 will have one more day
than down on the calendar, even if it
is leap year, but whether it is in De-
cember of the old year, or January

predominating.
There were twenty-five numbers on
the program, the twenty-first being a
two-step, "Aloft Topman," by Lieu
tenant Zimmerman, director of the
band, and dedicated to the Glass
IL. Altogether the hop was a very
brilliant social event and the large
number of graduates of recent Naval
Academy classes, and several West
Point cadets, added to the usual
Naval Academy contingent, lent ad-
ditional attraction and interest to
the occasion.

KID BURNS"
Geo. M. Cohan's Great Play ''45
Minutes From Broadway" at the
Colonial Theatre Next Saturday.

That distinct type and character,
"Kid Burns" in George NJ. Cohan's
"Forty-five Minutes from Broad
way" adds attractiveness to the COM
ing engagement of this musical play.
which will be seen at the Boyer
Theatre on Saturday matinee and
night, January 6.
kid Burns" is a character that
appeals to all ella ;ses of theatregoers.
He is rugged slang juggling come
dian who recognizes his lack of polish !;
yet to every observer, he weighs
more in the scales of squareness and
manliness than many who have been
vanished by refined social contact.
A few years ago no one suspected
George Nj. Cohan of being a philoso-
pher or a keen observer of human ma
ture, but the unique characters he has
created are taken from distinct types
which his wide experience in the
theatrical profession enabled him to
know personally. The public grad
ually awoke to the fact that his in
sight into human nature was only
equaled by his ability to depict those
characters as they appeared to him in
real life.
This is the reason his Lovely
Mary" and kid Burns live in
the memory of thousands who have
become acquainted with them through
seeing his 'fForty-five Minutes from
Broadway.

ATLANTIC FLEET.
To Assemble at Guantanamo February.

The Florida and Utah will join the
Atlantic fleet when the fleet assem-
bles at Guantanamo in February.
Then will become effective the fleet
organization that should have gone in
force on July i last, in accordance
with the program adopted some time
ago.
The flagship Connecticut will be in
dependent of any division, and the bat
tleship divisions will be made up as
follows: First Florida, Utah, Del
aware, North Dakota and Michigan.
Second-Louisiana, South Carolina,
Kansas, Vermont and New Hamp-
shire. Thirl-Georgia, Nebraska,
New Jersey, Virginia and Ohio.
Fourth-Minnesota, Mississippi, Idaho,
Maine and Missouri.
This reorganization will necessitate
the assignment of another division
commander to the fleet. Rear Ad-
miral Nathaniel p. Usher will prob
ably he selected for this duty. The
established program also calls for a
reorganization of the fleet on April /,
1912, but this will probably not be
made until next fall, owing to the fact
that the Arkansas and Wyoming will
not be ready for addition to the fleet
in time.
The Arkansas and Wyoming will
probably be placed in commission
in July, after which they will be put
through the usual shaking-down runs
before being incorporated into the
fleet
