Chinese Tablet on Broadway.

A bronze tablet with queer letters inscribed on it is displayed in a conspicuous place on the iron fence of St. Paul’s chapel, at Broadway and Fulton street. It is about six feet from the ground and about ten feet north of Fulton street. Thousands of persons daily pass the corner. Those who have seen the tablet stopped and stared at it The only leP~~- rnible to them were 29 Ve» * were on the bottom of tne t- the explanation of its presence is that St. Paul’s chapel maintains a Sunday school for Chinese at 29 Vesey street. the selection of that particular place for the tablet was due to the fact that many Chinamen on their way to Jersey City on Sunday pass the Broadway side of the ‘church and turn at Fulton street to the Hudson tubes.
