CATIONS 10 Mayor Sinlm9 nnd his

Society offered prize of $500 Tor the

ment, No school, and offered ID
similar prize to the boys department,
same school. Twcnty-thlee essays

The report next ulludes to the pro-
jected deer hunt" at Newport, last
Christmas, aud the successful inter-
fence Of the Society, with the cruel
sport, by purchasing The deer. The
animal is now IN inmate of the Phila-
|delphia Geological Park, where it was
gratefully received. Those whe were
active in managing the intended hunt,
express themselves well pleased with
their Kind treatment by the Society
managers, and we think the money
well spent in preventing the cruel and
and immoral conduct that would have
occurred.
In concluding our report, we think
there Is cause to reiuice in this our
first years labor. The increased care
for the rights and comforts of the
dumb animals is conspicuous, and we
have the encouragement Of all classes
OF the community to more earnest
labor in the caNse we have cspoused.
