ANNIVERSARY OF THE BROOKLYN SUNDAY
SCHOOLS.

Yesterday afternoon the twentyseventh anniversary
of the Sunday Schools of Brooklyn took place. The
day proved propitious, and everything tended to
render the anniversary pleasing both to the scholars
and the spectators. The route through which the
children were TO pass-from Orange street to Fourth
place in Henry street-was lined on both sides with
the friends of the various schools Bands of music.
consisting of the Navy Yard Band, the Governor 8
Island Band and Dodworth's Band of New York, were
stationed at different portions Of the route and dis
coursed most excellent music during the passage OF
the schools The principal point OF observation was
the residence of Mr. Vlning, No. 100 Henry street,
where accommodations were provided for the Mayor
and Common Council of the city. As the schools de-
filed past this point most excellent view was had Of
them and the devices their banners and the appear
ance of the schools could be readily seen. Many
availed themselves of this opportunity and crowded
the vicinity But few of the members OF the Board OF
Aldermen awaited themselves of the privilege afforded
them. The Mayor, County Judge, several OF the
members Of the Common Council and other dl'tn-
guished individuals avaied themselves of the pnyi-
fege afforded them, and were well pleased with the
appearance Of the schools.

would probably exceed that.

in their various rooms and proceeded 10 the churches
as assigned them in the subjoined programme. Here
the exercises consisted of singing the song commencing
with

Lighting up the wood,
Hear the mountain 'trealnet
Proving, q. they sparkle,
God IL ever good"
