    Andr\'e proved that the number of alternating permutations on {1,2,…,n}\{1, 2, \dots, n\} is equal to the Euler number EnE_n. A refinement of Andr\'e's result was given by Entringer, who proved that counting alternating permutations according to the first element gives rise to Seidel's triangle (En,k)(E_{n,k}) for computing the Euler numbers. In a series of papers, using generating function method and induction, Poupard gave several further combinatorial interpretations for En,kE_{n,k} both in alternating permutations and increasing trees. Kuznetsov, Pak, and Postnikov have given more combinatorial interpretations of En,kE_{n,k} in the model of trees. The aim of this paper is to provide bijections between the different models for En,kE_{n,k} as well as some new interpretations. In particular, we give the first explicit one-to-one correspondence between Entringer's alternating permutation model and Poupard's increasing tree model.Comment: 19 page
