To the Editor of the" Llangollen Advertiser." Sir,—Will you once again permit me to bring to the notice of your readers the fund which it is my privilege annually to raise for a two-fold object- that of providing a New Year's Entertainment to about 1,200 poor children of the Ragged School Union in the Guildhall of the City of London, and the accompanying distribution of Christmas Ham- pers to 4,000 or 5,000 little cripples ? His Majesty the King has for several years con- tributed to the list of subscriptions, and this year I am again honoured by His Majesty's support. General Sir Dighton Probyn, Keeper of His Majesty's Privy Purse, writes me "I am com- manded by the King to send you the enclosed cheque for £.10 10a. as a donation from His Majesty to the Poor Children and Cripples' Christmas and New Year's Entertainment Fund, which yon so. kindly organise on their behalf. The Court of Common Council have, as in pre- vious years, accorded the use of the Guildhall, and many members of the Court warmly and actively assist me but as the poor and snffering children of the Metropolis as a whole are participants, I confidently extend my appeal to London at large. No one who has witnessed the reception by a home-tied cripple of a hamper at Christmas can over-estimate the good done by the timely gift, and the Guildhall Banquet is a source of never-failing pleasure. Mr. W. H. Pannell. C.C., Chartered Accountant and honorary auditor, has signed the balance sheet, which shows that last year £ 1,644 8s. 6d. was collected, and the list of donors indicates that the movement has lost none of its popularity. Contributions, large or small, to the Children's Fund sbould be addressed to me at 69, Ludgate Hill, E.C. I am, sir, yours truly. WM. TRKAR-OR, Alderman. 69, Ludgate Hill, London, E.C., October 22nd, 1902.
