PRESIDENT—JOETN MASTERMAN, Esq., M.P.
The object of I lijs'institut ion is to maintain, clothe, and educate the
orphan and necessitous children of Commercial Travellers. There
are 86 children (from all pal Ss of the kingdom) in the institution al-
ready, and the applications:for admittance arc so numerous, that it Is
found absolutely necessary, t 3 provide larger and more commodious
premises than these at tirmie nt rented by the society. It is estimated
that the sum of 12.0001. will enable the Board to purchase and fit
up premises sufficiently ex teitsive to accommodate 300 children.
As this is a national and. not alocal charity, it is intended that an
opportuu'ty for subscribir g -towards the required amount shall be
given to the various come tte-eial firms throughout the country. To
this cad deputationdront tic Board of Management in London will
