Charity fete at Bradford promotes boys’ school and slavery abolition
A Bradford ceremony featured a stone laying, a lunch led by Lord Cavendish, and speeches praising the Home for Little Boys at Farningham. Funds were raised to clear a mortgage and support subscriptions, while a later British anti slavery appeal urged the Spanish cabinet to end slavery in Cuba and Porto Rico. The narrative recalls political figures Alfred Tillngworth and R Hanbury among others.

The Bradford Liberal party strengthens through twenty operatives clubs in the borough with 260 to 100 members each and more in outlying villages. Central and ward clubs include libraries and game rooms, aiming to curb public-house use and educate politically. Conservative clubs also exist, but Liberals expect stronger future growth.
