TUESDAY, April 19, we attended the second anniversary of the Primary Association of the 20th Ward in this city. A baz[a]ar was fitted up at one end of the hall with a variety of articles, ornamental and useful, all made by the little [p. 180] folks. It was quite an artistic affair. The exercises of the meeting were conducted by Mrs. Emma Toone in an efficient and dignified manner, and although there were one hundred and fifty children in the room, the most perfect order was preserved throughout the entire meeting. There were recitations, essays, songs, organ solos, dialogues, and speeches by the visitors, among whom we will make honorable mention of Sisters Eliza R. Snow Smith and Presendia L. Kimball, also T. [Theodore] B. Lewis, Superintendent of schools, and C. [Charles] R. Savage, Esq. [. . .] [p. 181]
