Anniversary Meetings and Temperance Events Dominate City Agenda
The annual gathering of the friends of a major ragged and infant school system in Saffronhill met with broad support and discussed debt, income, and extensive programs serving hundreds of services from schooling to homeless refuges. A separate temperance society event at City Terminus Hotel drew about 1,000 attendees with notable figures and art displays. The Times reports American anniversary meetings continue with strong receipts in 19th century reform groups and notes waning focus of the Anti Slavery Society as constitutional change nears.
