day up to O'Clock was $500, and General
Bradley said there was more yet to come in.
This was locked upon as exceedingly satis-
factory. II was one Of the biggest money
havests donation day ever brought, and all
were correspondingly happy. Even much
larger sum, however, would not have come at
all amiss, such being the needs and growth
of the asylum's population. The hearts of
New Haven's people always responds LIBERAL
~ to the appeals from the orphans as the
many heavily laden carts, filed to the brim
with provisions and household utensils, which
had been collected by the indefatigable COM
mittee of solicitation amply attested; and
the big money contribution clinched the
proposition thoroughly. 1t was about half
past three O'Clock when the carts and big
wagons assembled from all parts of the city
and conferred on State street, between Court
and Chapel streets. preparatory to the start
10 procession for the asylum. General Brad
Icy and several other members of the COM
mittee paid cal, just before the line moved,
to the Office of Lieutenant Governor Merwin,
after which General Bradley, re-entering his
carriage gave the signal to start the process
sion. The committee occupied about twenty
carriages. Each member had pinned upon
his coat blue silk badge, on which was in
scribed:
Donation Committee,
New Haven Orphan Asylum,
Each member had white or red pink in
his coat, the flowers being tribute from
Florist Dickerman. The line of carts fell in
behind the procession of carriages and the
procession moved slowly up Chapel street to
Beers street, to Elm street, into the front
grounds of the asylum to the portals of the
edifce. All along the route people ran to
doors and windows to see the procession pass
and witness with joy the good work done for
the orphans. Just inside the portals of the
asylum was an array of the lady managers Of
the institution standing in line to welcome
and thank the committee as they passed in.
The whole building seemed filled with ladies
and gentlemen assembled from all parts of
the city to see the joyous time at the asylum on
the committees arrival. 1t was time OF re-
joicing for all as the carriage in which
rode Governor Bradley, chairman, General
Ford, Professor Chandler and Attorney Sey-
mour O. Loomis hove in sight of the ladies
at the asylum windows. As the procession
was coming along Beers street, several ladies
caught sight of the big placard wich was at
tached to the outside of the carriage and
read: $50, 100 for the orphans" and the
news was sounded from one to another all
over the room, causing remarks of eulogy for
committee and general rejoicing. The spirit
of the hour seemed infectious with all.
