Vice President Peter McCrann of the Y. M. T. A. & B. society is being prominently mentioned as the next president of the organization but as the election is some time off the mat ter has not been taken up thoroughly by the members. In the selection of MT. McCrann the society would make che of the best moves it has made in some time.

For many years he has been identified in one way or another with the doings of the organization, the drum corps especially prospering under his guidance. He has also acted on a number of the fair committees. The election will take place on the last Sunday in December.
 Fourteen new members were ad- noitted at the regular meeting held yesterday. Eight applications were received. The pool committee re- ported that the first round is almost completed. The card tournament with Daly Council, K. of C., will open Wednesday evening at the society's rooms.
 The reception committee met yes- terday forenoon and arranged for the entertainment to be rendered the workers at the recent fair on Decem- Ter T.

 Performers. fakirs, magicians mu- sicians and the follower of every known trade and profession gather about the bazaar and cry their wares. The marketing dance of the tuneful melodies of the musicians while waiting to do their marketing. Watch the fakirs and magicians while crowding about the booths or participate with other marketers in games of chance. A bazaar of the Far East is moving panorama of music, color, songs, laughter and sport of every conceivable descrip- tion. A great playground where men and women desport themselves with the careless abandon of children where the hours slip by unheeded until closing time.
 One can not pluck bazaar from the heart of Arabia and transport it across miles upon miles of continerSc and ocean to New Britain, but those who have seen and know of such places May with patience and per severance produce such in miniature. Beginning Wednesday evening, the New Britain Odd Fellows association will hold a bazaar in Jr. O. U. A.

NpEWAN ARMY CAPTAIN.
West Point Center to Lead Team
 Eleven Gets Warm Welcome.

West Point, N. Y., Nov. 29.-The victorious Army team returned to the post at noon yesterday. All the old scenes accompanying their arrival home from Army-Navy games were re-enacted, There was the ancient stage coach, which has done duty in the capacity for almost quarter of a century to drag the members of the team up the hill. Six hundred willing cadets manned the ropes and participated in the long haul. The cheer leaders, Cadets Martin and Hibbs. were atop the antiquated ve- hicle and led the battalion in their roofing.
 The parade was headed by the Academy band, and the Army's Good Night, Navy" song was fea- ture. Speeches were made by Wey- and, the Army captain; McEwan, the big center rush and Oliphant, the hero of the game.
 On the trip home Cadet John J. McEwan, a member of the present second class, was chosen to lead the cadets on the gridiron in 1916. Mo- Evan is the big rowing center rush who played for the army during the last three seasons. Cadet McEwan was appointed to West Point from the State of Minnesota in June, 1913, and will graduate with the Class of 1917. The Army eleven will lose but four players of this years Var sity team by graduation next June. They are: Captain Weyand, O'Hare, Bob Neyland, and Coffin. Oliphant has two years to play for the Army before graduating.
