zens at Odd Fellows Hall. In the early part Of
the evening, the festival was visited by the In

District. under the care OF Mr.. f.. NJ. Gallaudet
The ladies of the different tables kindly supplied
them with refreshments, and, I'm return, the little
bliEd ones sang several OF their songs. The IN
fortunate deaf and dumb ones seemed much
urIlg HE'D with what they saw rs any one present
In the enjoyment OF all the senses could have DONE
and ryinced their appreciation Of il by an ami
Inated interchange of thoughts by means OF their
mute alphabet.
Ittie later in tie evening, Mr. Jos. H. Brad
lev. Jr.. president of the Young Mems Christian
Association, waited on by his fellow men,
bers and fellOw-Ortcers and presented with large
basket Of flowers arranged expressly for the occa-
sion by the ladies Of the floral table with the
