by allowing over two hundred restau-
rants and hotels to serve drinks and
meals until 3 a. m.
This was in addition to the twenty
odd establishments which enjoy per-
mission at all times. to remain open
all night. The result was that every
hotel, restaurant and cabaret along
Broadway was iammed to the burst
ing point and late corners were un-
able to secure tables or even to Sc
cure admittance. AS high as 500
was offered in vain for small table
at some of the more popular restau-
rants. Broadway itself was crowded
with a noisy but orderly throng which
was kept moving in two solid lines up
one side of the street and down the
other, while the downtown section of
the famous thoroughfare which or
dinarily is deserted at night was jam
med with listeners to the famous
Trinity chimes. Inquiries at the larg-
er hotels and restaurants gave basis
for the estimate that not less than
$4,000, 900 was spent along Broadway
in welcoming the new year.

entered and the audience applauded.
The program was carried out as
published, and the way the children
sang was a revelation. Perhaps the
most effective numbers were the
Elijah" selection (But The Lord is
Mindful of His Own;) the Old English
men," and "a May Day Dance" by
Nevin. The latter had an effective
four-hand piano accompaniment by
Mrs. Russell and Miss Strohm. The

very well rendered, and the High

and again scored a triumph. Prof.
Martins devotion and patience in
training this chorus is favorably COM

of the production, and the ladies who
assisted in handling the children, also
deserve much credit.
