ASYLUM FOR FATHERLESS CHILDRIM. This
valuable institution—one of the many which owe their
origin to the charitable exertions of the late Dr. Andrew
Reed—was yesterday the scene of an interesting holiday
entertainment given by Mr. George Moore to the London
City missionaries. It appears to be the custom for seine
gentleman interested in the movements of these mission-
aries to invite them to an annual gathering of thin nature,
and the privilege this year chancing to be allotted to Mr.
Moore, he chose the above asylum (of which he is one of
the most energetic governors) as an appropriate spot for
carrying out his hospitable intention. The asylum
is situated within a mile of the Caterham-
junction station, and, from the healthfulness
of the locality, is peculiarly well adapted, not only to
the purposes of a school or asylum for the young, but
also or those al fresco Ines which are now becoming of
annual occurrence at most of those suburban establish-
menta devoted to objects of charity. The missionaries in
whose honour the present fne was given number 3.56, and
of these 330 were amongst the company on this occasion.
The usefulness of this body of voluntary workers is well
known, and those who joined in the well-deserved tribute
paid to them on this occasion (amongst whom were Mr.
J. Hoare, the banker, and many well-nowu members of
the church of England) k
were emphatic in their praises of
Mr. George Moore for the liberal manner in which ho had
recognised their valuable national services. A spacious
tent was erected on the grounds, and there the geode were
regaled in primitive but truly hospitable fashion ; and the
entertainment, on the whole, passed off in a mauuer which
was evidently satisfactory to all concerned.
WrxDow GARDENING ris WEsnmorrza.—The
third annual flowier show of the Society for Promoting
Window Gardening in Westminster will be held in
Dean's-yard on Tuesday next, at 6.80 p.m., when the Earl
of Shaftesbury will distribute the prices ffered to work-
ing men and women, domestic servants, and children in
schools, for the successful cultivation of flowering plants
in the windows of the houses occupied by the poor in the
crowded streets and courts of Westminster. This pleasing
display would do credit to a show of grouter preteneions,
and supported as it is by the Dean of Westminster, Lady
Augusta Stanley, Lord Justice Weed, and other influen-
tial reeidenta, has already done, and is likely to do, much
good in the sanitary improvement and refinement of the
per.
Yesterday a handsome testimonial was pre-
sented to Mr. William Best, secretary of the Gresham
Club, subscribed by a large majority of the members in
recognition of his valuable services since the formation of
the club, more than twenty-five years ago. The pm-
sentation was made by Mr. R. W. Crawford, M.P., and
the testimonial consid.ed of a silver salver, with a suitable
inscription, and a purse of 6001.
One of the contemplated arrangements in con-
nection with the Thames embankment is (says the LIT
Times) the junction of the two Temple gardens. It is
not yet certain whether there will be any erection to
divide them, except for the purpose of marking the boun-
dary of each garden.
