"A Grand Picnic at the Female Protcc-
tory, Wcstchester.
The 18th of August was a gala day, a special oc.
u
dren Of the Catholic Female Protectory in West
chester. 1t was set apart particularly for the
creation OF the youthful inmates ana to mark In q
peculiar manner the satisfaction of the good Sis
ters with the general conduct and advancement OF
the little ones entrusted TO their care. For days
before the eagerly expected event preparations
we're made for Its proper celebration, and visions
OF happy hours in green fields and under the
Wide spreading elms haunted the thoughts and
dreams of the children Fortunately the weather
WAS most favorable, and so "from early morn till
dewy eve' they gave themselves up to healthul
enjoyment and innocent recreation. The ground
selected for the picnicfor such 1t was and picnic
on a grand scale-is admirably suited for the pur.
pose. 1t is portion Of the property belonging to
she institution and is beautifully interspersed with
sweet-scented meadow and cool, shady patches of
wood. Through the openings among the trees
the Sssas massive proportions Of the Prosectory
and on the other the pretty rustic church OF St.
the new railroad, connecting Portchester with
Harlem, and which forms another OF the iron links
with which New York Is bound to the great outside
world. This road, We may say IN passing, Is to be
completed and ready for the transportation OF
freight and passengers In two or three months
Wnen finished 1t viii be great convenience to the
large number of persons who daily visit the two
protectores In fact, it will bring this part Of
Mestchester within twenty-five minutes OF the
metropolis and seven OF harlem bridge.
Ali that the Sisters could do to make the day
happy one for the girls was done, and special at,
provision was made for the whole $50. There were
fountains OF lemonade, whose supply was mex
haustibe huge baskets OF cakes and OF sand
wiches, no end OF bread and butter, apples and
pears in proluson and meat Of two or three kinds.
SUFFICIENT for a whole army. 1t was a pleasant
sight-the cheerful scene presented by these care
fully protected and well guarded little ones
and temptatlors Of the great city and placed
under the charge OF those self-sacrlnclng and de-
voted guardians, the sisters OF Charity Free irom
Ova thq n
themselves as only children can. some IN one way
and some In another, their cheerful voices ringing
muscaly on the summer air. Here was a
crowd OF little ones surrounding a favorte sister,
listening to some pleasant little story or anecdote,
and there another happy tnrong, romping about in
all the careless abandon OF childhood, while the
elder girls contented themselves in quiet walks
shade OF the trees. Chatting together or singing in
chorus some iavorite melody or hymn. Looking on
sSca scene II was peculiarly gratifying to reflect
under the Sisters OF Charity and Christian Brothers
are protectories in the truest sense OF the word,
anord the best refuge from the evil influences that
surround the homeless and fatherless children OF
the poor in the great city. Here they are brought
mp In useful pursuits, the children under four
teen years being kept exclusively at school,
and those over that age employed several
hours during the day at various profitable and ser
viceable occupations, so that when they leave the
institution they are provided with the means OF
sefsupport. The discipline TO which they are sub
jected is OF the mldest character compatible with
good order and the maintenance OF proper author
doors are always open and they are free 10 go as
they please, the only influences by which they are
held being those OF attachment TO and affection
after ali, these the most binding and lasting or
bonds, and among the best claims which the Pro-
tectories of Westchester present to the favor and
support OF generous and benevolent public. The
picnic which took place on the 2Sth inst was In
itself one OF the strongest proofs that could be
presented of the relations which exist between the
children and the good sisters, and Of the efi
cheney and success OF the system upon which these
excellent institutions are conducted.
