WARD School No. 20-Yesterday the pupils
OF the Male Department of this School presented their
Teacher John J Doane, Esq, with a handsome china
dinner set of 100 pieces silver spoons forks and butter
knives, neat address, written by member OF the
Senior Class was delivered in behalf Of the School,
and reply by Mr.. Dosne followed the whole affair
forming most pleasing ceremony. No 20 has long
rank among the FIRST of City Schools, and from
what occurred yesterday we are led to believe that
under the management of the present popular frinc
nal supported by his efficient assistants, TINS schooi
destined TO continue furnish more pupsfo the free
Academy and exert yet greater influence upon tno
future of our country than 1t has before Well
may Mr. Doane regret his defeat In the late cam
paien for he holds much more honorable aud re-
.ronbe though less lucrative post than that of Street
Commissioner. Below we give the speech written by
Maize, T. L. Andrcws and delivered by c. A. James;
