C.TY'S santa Gives
TO 900 CHILDREN
Needy Youngsters Are Made
Happy on Christmas
Morning
PUBLIC MAY SEE
TREE THIS WEEK

Nine hundred boys and girls had
their Christmas made brighter yester-
dav when big hearted policemen who
co-opcrated with Wilmington's official
santa Claus. distributed bags OF candy,
nuts and toys TO the youngsters at the
police station. The affair, which was
made possible by the unnamed philan-
thropist who has provided the money
for such celebrations for several years,
was the only Official recognition Of the
Yuletide in this city and II was wit
messed by a large number Of city ofi-
oials and citizens.
The poor children who were remem-
bered were admitted to the celebration
by ticket. Last year 1900 children were
provided for and the year before that
1900 children were given candy and
tovs. The fact that only nine hun
dred children were present yesterday
indicated 10 those IN charge that a
number OF children who had been pro-
vi6ed for In former years were enjoy
ing Christmas this year through the
Industrial boom which has provided
employment for their parents.
The rain which fell during the morn
ing did not dampen the ardor Of the
Youngsters who gathered at the police
station long before s o'clock and In or
der to protect them from the rain they
were gathered in the police garages IN
tfl 9 o'clock when they marched IN a
long line TO the police drill room.
The room had been decorated In the
national colors and in one end was a
Christmas tree, not as large as that
used In previous years, but prettify
decorated. The electric current was
turned on and instantly the tree be-
came alive with colored electric lights.
At the base Of the tree was a pile
Of nine hundred bags, each filled with
candy. nuts and fruits and when the
children spled this mountain OF sweets
their astonishment was complete.
They were marched past the tree and
allowed 10 gaze as long as they wished
on It's beauty Each was then pre-
sented with a big pile and then they
filed out into Tenth street. The little
ones were much excited, and the eX-
pressi)n on each little face showed
that they appreciated the whole af-
fair as arranged for their special
beneht.
During The exercises there was a
band concert by the members Of Henry
q Young's Band, who had volunteered
for the occasion. The music was APP
propriate and decidedly pleasing and
II added much TO the attractlyeness Of
the occasion. There was also player
plano on hand and Il was kept going
