A tree was erected in a corner of the hall, and at eleven thirty Santa Claus in a red suit entered the hall in an improvised Sedan chair, and proceeded to disâ€" tribute the prizes for the members, picking on ‘‘Slim‘‘ Fraser and Maurâ€" ice Belanger as the holders of the most notable prizes, in fact ‘‘Slim‘s"‘ appreciation of his gift at a previous Christmas Tree caused Santa to bring him a repeat last night.

Leamen, in regulation uniform took ‘the place of the genial St. Nick, and a better impersonator could not be found. As a successful evening the weekly dance of the A. S. D. Club held last night in the Oddfellows‘ Hall stands supreme. There was a large attendâ€" ance, and every member present enâ€" tered into the spirit of the evening in a manner which contributed mueh to making the event stand by itself as one of the specially happy evenings spent by the Club.
