INAUGURATION OF A DRINKING FOUNTAIN
IN VICTORIA•PARK.

On Saturday afternoon a beautiful specimen of
masonry, recently erected in Victoria-park, and presented
to the public by Miss Burdett Coutta, was opened with great
ceremony in presence of a large number of nobility and
gentry, and about 10,000 spectators. Amongst those by
whom the benevolent donor, Mir Burdett Coutte, was
surrounded were Lady Aylesford, the Comities Glasgow,
the Counter of Falmouth, the Hon. William Cowper, Mr.
Bodkin (Assistant Judge), the Rev. Dr. Gibson, and a
large number of other persons of distinction. Archdeacon
Sinolair, in first addressing the vast assembly, apologised
for the absence of the Bishop of London from circumstances
over which he had no control. Nothing would have given his
lordship greater pleasure than to take part in the inaugura-
tion of the Victoria drinking fountain.—The Hon.W.Cowper
said it berme his pleasing duty, as officially entrusted by
her Majesty with the charge and custody of that park, to
reer to Miss Cootie the thanks of her Majesty and of the
public for the noble, beautiful, and useful present which
was that day to be banded over for the benefit and enjoy-
ment of the public. He felt, in the discharge cf his duty,
that he ought to call upon them to express their thsnka,
and the thanks of the public generally, to Miss Crate, and
he was sure that they all felt that they ought not to sepa-
rate without manifesting their sentiments of gratitude
towards her. Therefore he proposed that they should
give three hearty cheers to the donor. (The people
responded to this proposal of the Hoo. Chief
Commissioner by enthusiastic and prolonged cheering.)
The Itev. G. F. Lockwood having spoken, Miss Burdett
Coatts then. amidst the most tremendous cheering, formally
opened the fountain by partaking of the water, and drinking
health, prosperity, and happiness to all the neighbourhood.
The Rev. T. Rowsell expressed, on behalf of Miss Cootie,
her full approbation of the way in which her bumble offer-
ing, as a love.token to her poorer sisterhood and brother.
hood, had beta received, and concluded his theervatious by
remarking on the generosity of her Majesty in presenting
that park as a free gift, when she ascended the throne, to
her faithful and grateful subjects at that end of the metro-
polia, where it was so much needed. This brought the official
proceedings to a close, and the Royal Alice Ventil Horn
Band, and the band of the 26th Middlesex Rd's, which had
previously enlivened them, then played the National Anthem.
