The Second Anniversary OF the Five-Polnts House
Of Industry was celebrated yesterday afternoon at the
Tabernacle The Indictment state of the weather pre-
vented many from attending the exercises of this ex-
ceIent charitable institution; yet notwithstanding,
there was a fair audience.
The children Of the School marched into the building
about O'Clock and seated in the gallery facing
the audience The boys for the most part attired
in dark clohes the girls being dressed in light dresses
and white aprons. We noticed several among the
bow and gs who were bsreooted, having on neither
shoes nor stockings. There were about two hundred
present seyenty-two girls, and the rest boys Thirty
girls were left behind for want of proper clothes to
wear.
About 81 after singing by the children, the exercises
were commenced with prayer by the Rev. Mr.. K. j.
Walker of Brooklyn.
