Of Charity conducting this institution There are
now over five hundred boys being educated at this
asylum, and judging from their general appearance
and the proficiency they have acquired in their
studies, it Is none too much to say that those who
direct the course Of education and the physical and
mental training Of their wards understand their duty
and do fully perform 1t. Among those present

Rev. Dr. STAIRS, Vicar General OF this diocese, and

Church. as well as many prominent civilians. There
was full orchestra Of brass and string instruments,
flutes, clarionets, drums and melodeon, all
played by boys from the institution, none appearing
to be more than fourteen or fifteen years of age, and
the overture and all the orchestral accompaniments
were executed BY them with remarkable skill and pre-
cisOn, considering their tender age and but limited
practice. The examination Of the boys Of all classes
