As soon as possible after Thursday.

December 20. the city of Newark. N. will announce a bargain in city halls. That date marks the formal opening: of the city's municipal on which work has been in progress since August 15.

1902, and James E. Howell. chairman of the commission having' the work In hand, said yesterday that no time will be lost In attempting to realize as much as possible on the old City Hall, which Is now, after continuous use for about forty years, to be sold at public auction and torn down. Before It was purchased for a municipal building: by the etly in IKU4. Newark's present City Hall was the old City Hotel Building.

The city outgrew It twenty-live years ago. and when a new municipal building- was agreed upon It was decided to spare nothing to it one of the finest in the land. Mr. HowelL who, as chairman of the commission in charge of the work, has examined many of the leading municipal In this country, is confident that Newark'c new City Hall will compare favorably with any he has The building, which been erected according to plans of J. H.

and Wilson Ely, occupies a prominent site Broad street, between Greene street on tho north and Franklin street on the south. It has a frontage on Broad street of 250 feet and a depth of 150 feet. The coat of the building itself is placed at between and and the total cost, including site and furnishings, is given as 2.250.000. The money for the construction of the building was raised by Issuing bonds for $1,500,000 and by the sale of A'arious properties owned by the city and not in actual use. Whatever is realized through the sale of the old City Hall will be applied to the fund.

The new building, which has four floors and basement and sub-basement, is of granite, with marble trimmings. It If surmounted by a huge, dome, and presents an Imposing appearance from the street. Though the interior finish of the hull-ling Is fine throughout, the show feature is the marble rotunda and vestibule. These are of fine Italian marble, and it is claimed that marble in the rotunda and vestibule is worth about £100.000. There is also said to bo about $3,000 worth of goldleaf in the decorations of the interior of dome, high above the rotunda.

The chief ornamental feature of the rotunda is a grand marble staircase, sweeping up on either side from the entrance to the floor above. The pub-basement if the building is up to machinery and heating apparatus. The basement is to be occupied by the police headquarters, the poor and alms department, the city dispensary, office of the gas testers, superintendent of public works and two district courts. On the first floor are board of works committee room and the offices of the controller, auditor. tax commission, tax receivers and clerk of arrears.

On the second floor are the offices of the mayor, the common council, the law department, the city clerk, the excise and license commission, the sinking fund commissioners, the police commission executive offices, committee rooms and the board of works' executive offices and meeting rooms. On the third floor fire department headquarters, the office of the board of education, the city engineer, the city accountant, the assessment commission and other offices. There will be few offices on the top floor, but the feature of that floor is a fine document room. In view of the fact that the city has only recently erected a fine public library at a cost of yjJOO.OOO. and that the county is Just finishing la the city a new $2,000,000 courthouse, the.

citizens of Newark feel much elated over their City Hall, the la.tept addition to their list of fine buildings. "Pretty good showing for a city of three hundred thousand population, isn't it?" was Commissioner HowelPs comment the other afternoon.

Dances and entertainments of all sorts are being planned for the visitors. At the Lakewood Hotel there will be a grand ball on Christmas Eve. and hops every night in Christmas week. There will be a large gathering of society people from New York and Philadelphia here. Fan-tan, the Chinese card game, seems to displaced bridge whist in the favor of the society people here this season.

Fantan parties are now all the vogue among the patrons of the Lakewood Hotel, and the tables In the cardroom are almost constantly in play.

The invitations proscribed that the guests should wear kimonos. After the games tea was served in small bowls. Chinese fashion. Indoor tennis has gained such popularity here that arrangements are being made for a series of tournaments to be played on the new courts at the Lakewood Hotel in holiday week. These courts are inclosed in glass, and axe illuminated by electric light, so that the game may be played at night.

This latter was done to suit the convenience of a large number of Wall Street brokers who commute each weekday of the season. Mr. and Mrs. John Morgan, of New York, are among former patrons of tho Lakewood Hotel who returned this week for an indefinite stay. In their and drives through the pine woods this week, Lakewood visitors have been interested in observing the work of gathering Christmas greens for the New York market.

The resort is surrounded on all sides by miles of pine forest. The country folk are now busy scouring this stretch of woods for laurel, ground pine, holly and mistletoe. Laurel and holly are found in abundance on the outskirts of the village, but the mistletoe la not so easily obtained. Near Farmingdale whole families are now engaged in the work. While the elders gather the greens, the women and children form them Into wreaths of various designs.

Most of the small farmers depend upon this work for their Christmas money, and for many It is a considerable item of their yearly income. One of the items of the social card for next week Is a musical and reception which Dr. and Mrs. William Gray Bchauffier to give next Saturday, for, which two hundred Invitations been issued. Mr.

and Mrs. E. Louis Rogers, of New York, gave a small dinner In the palm room restaurant of the Lakewood Hotel on Thursday evening in celebration of the tenth anniversary of their wedding.

Jolly parties of young folks leave the Lakewood Hotel and the Laurel House early each morning for a gallop around the lake and thence to Toms River, waking up the countryside with their shouts and laughter.

Golf continues to hold the enthusiastic interest of Lakewood visl'ors. and there is always a lively gathering at the Pine Forest Golf Club and the Country Club of Lakewood on pleasant days. Trap shooting is also a popular pastime. One of the pleasant affairs of the midwinter season will be a kirmegs to be given under the direction of Mrs. Arthur B.
