Another banner of red, running up two sides of the room and across the top of two windows bore characters which are sald to have spelied “Happy New Year." There were Chinese lanterns, fans and um- brellas suspended from the celling and fastened to the walls, and the lunch in- cluded, besides American ice cream and cake, some Chinese nuts, candy and conver- satlon, In addition to the Chinamen's songs, the program included a response to Joe Lee's address by Pastor Jenks, a whistled solo by Master Paul Bradley, a song by Master Robert McCormick, another by Mr. Will McCune and music by the band.
