Secretary Chdrens Aid Society
New- York, March IA. 1883.
ITbis defence of the work Of the Children's Aid
Society is irrefutable. There was glarng injus-
tce in holding up q few exceptional cases as typical
of the whole range of benefcent work accomplished
in transplantiug thousands Of boys from the slums
and haunts of vice IN great city to homes in the
West and South. The delegates to the National
Conference of Charities seem to have been crimi-
nally reckless in their charges and calumnes. Their
experience In dealing with paupers and the criminal
classes should have put them their guard against
magnifying the Importance of few Isolated cases
Mr. Brace has had charge Of o most humane en-
lightened aud comprehensive work OF charity, and
has managed it with sagacity. vigor and success

rately and knows him to DO one of the most active

4 CHINESE ENTERTAINMENE.

The Chinese class of the Spring Street Presbyte-
rian Church gave an entertainment to their teach
ers and friends who crowded the base
ment of the church last evening. Nearly
two hundred Cinnamon were present, most OIL thsm
dressed in native costume. Chinese paper snades
were over all the pas-jes, and the walls were gag
with Chinese banners and pictures On raised
platform stood four elegantly embroidered Chinese
screens In frpmes of ebony aud mother-Of-pearl.
Speeches were made by the Rev. A. ii. Moment,
pastor of the church the Rev. w. Halsey assistant
pastor and by Mr.. Money, who has charge OF
the class. Each of these gentlemen was presented
with a white handkerchief OF Chinese SILK by
the scholars of the class. Several Moody and
Sankey HYMNS were sung by the Cinnamon, and
duet by Hop Lee and Long Quong was enthusiastic
cally received.
rhe principal feature Of the entertainment, bow
ever was the performance OF Chinese band which
was present There was such suDernuity OF
gongs. cymbals and drums with wooden heads In
that band that there was no doubt at
all about its being present. Ihey
PLAYED several of those peculiarly
touching Chinese love songs, such as on starllt
nights IN far Cathay the mOOn-eyed Celestial plays
beneath his lady's window to the accompaniment
of a fog horn and bass drum. Sometimes the men
at the gongs and drums stopped TO take breath, ana
allowed the flutes and strnged Instrument; h 10
be heard On several OF these occa-
sions these latter elected something dis
tinctly resembling a tune. The most
effective pieces played were war songs, fol. In
these the gongs and tOm-tonis had iuli force. ANY
body of soldiers marching Ia battle inspired ny
such sounds as these, would be ready-eVen anxious
to die. A supper followed affer the entertain
mrnt at which, among other dellcacies, tea was
served that atoned for all the music.
