CHRIsTMAS CELEBRATION AT MAN- 
CHESTER, 
MANCHESTER Common was the 
scene of a Christmas festival that 
was as genuinely of the community as 
of the holiday spirit, last Friday at- 
ternoon and evening. The great tree 
was lighted at a little aiter four 
o’clock, and gifts were distributed to 
hundreds of children of the town, 
who flocked in great numbers to see 
Santa Claus. 
In the evening a procession that i1- 
cluded nearly thirty organizations at 
Manchester marched through Union 
street to the postoffice and then back 
to the Common by way of Union and 
Church streets. Nearly all the orders 
carried banners, and the huge flag of 
the Men’s Brotherhood was conspic- 
uous in a horizontal position. This 
was borne by about twenty men. 
‘The Arbella club, carrying banners 
and dressed in red capes and hoods, 
turned out in large numbers and was 
one of the most attractive sights of 
the parade. The Manchester Wom- 
-an’s club, too, made a good showing. 
When the procession had returned 
to the Common the Arbella girls 
gathered on the steps of the church 
and with the other organizations and 
the populace surrounding them and 
joining in the music, sang the Man- 
chester hymn “The Same Tides 
Flow.” The Glee Club of the Story 
High school furnished a number for 
the program, “O Sanctissima,” and 
sang with good spirit and in good 
‘yoice. The entire gathering joined 11 
singing “Silent Night” and “Amer- 
ica” and the Arbella members and the - 
Boy Scouts vied. with each other in 
the excellence and heartiness of their 
cheers. ah St we rs 
It was a happy throng that gathered 
‘to observe the Eve of Christmas in 
‘this wholesome way, and, although 
the night was warm and there was no 
snow, Christmas cheer abounded and 
the little town rang with the cornet 
rally and with the splendid singing of” 
-about the Centennial elm.

Santa Claus made no mistake in 
his selection of Chas. W. Sawyer as 
his personal representative last Fri- 
day at the community celebration of 
Christmas. Santa himself could not 
have been more admired by ihe 
younger element as well as by their 
pas and mas, From the minute of 
his arrival at 4 o’clock until the peo- 
ple departed for their homes as the 
clock in the steeple peeled nine, he 
was the object of the wistful eyes cf 
the babies and little boys and giris. 
And nobody enjoyed it all more than 
Santa himself. He was happy and 
gleeful through it all. 
And another feature of the Christ- 
mas tree celebration—aside for the 
beautiful tree, with all its tinsels and 
colored hangings and lights, and the 
star surmounting the tip of the tree-— 
the brilliantly lighted Common and 
square—the full moon shining serene- 
ly upon the scene—was the manger 
Here were 
all sorts of beasts to attract the ad- 
miration of the tots from the roaring 
bear to the gobbling turkey. Man- 
chester’s own—is the Arbella club! 
The girls are doing so much to make 
‘he community life so bright. and 
happy for all—one sometimes won- 
ders what we would do without them.
