Banquet to fifteen hundred waifs at the Guildhall, 1895. Christmas dinner for poor children in the City of London. 'The stately home of civic hospitality was the scene of a very different entertainment on Jan. 8 from those which ordinarily take place in the Guildhall. Twelve hundred and fifty children, selected by the experienced secretary of the Ragged School Union, from schools within two miles' radius of the City, were provided with a substantial meal, and afterwards a variety of amusements served to make the evening enjoyable. Mr. Alderman Treloar collected the funds for this treat from the aldermen and sheriffs, members of the Court of Common Council, and others outside these official limits'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
