 The dialogues, songs rescitations and all were a great credit not only to the children themselves, but also those who have had the training.
 The fancy work. done by the girls during the past year was on exhibition in the school room below and showed much pro- ficiency in fine needle-work, and the dis play that the boys had to offer in the work room of things they had made with their carpenter tools was wonderful, consider ing that the mechanics lacked ten years of age mostly.
 A peep at the nursery would have inter ested even the most crusty old bachelor The little tots did not seem the least em- barrassed by the crowds about all the time and acted in their best manner. They all looked as happy and contented as pos sible.
 When the school room exercises were over the children all focked to the dining hall, where a supper was spread ready for them.
 The procession reached it's destination about 4:30 o'clock, at which time the asy- lum was overfowing with people. After the committee had been received by the president and others, all repaired to the school hall where the official greeting took place. The children were all seated in their regular seats and were models of good order. They were given about ff- teen minutes for some exercises of their own, and then Professor Chandler gave the following address, after Q prayer by Rev. Dr. Mason.
 MIR. CHANDELIERS ADDRESS. Mrs. President, Lady Managers and Friends of the New Haven Orphan Asylum: While 1 esteem it an honor for any gen. tleman to be placed at the head of such a body of representative citizens as those who compose the Donation Day associa- ton, should have preferred that some person other than myself had been selected to succeed General Bradley as commander in-chief of the Donation day forces; but having been elected to that position for one year and having assumed it's duties and responsibilities, have laboIed to the best of my ability to make Donation day, 1890 a financial success. And now, Mrs. Presi dent, at the close of my official term wist to say for the committee that we are glad to have had another opportunity of serv ing the New Haven orphan asylum.
 The moral influence of Donation day 1T moulding public sentiment favorable te the asylum cannot, it seems to me, b, over-estimated Donation day, whicl means so much to the asylum, has come ts be regarded by our citizens as one of thu days in our calendar, and the habit O literally responding to the solicitations O the committee has become so that tn, amount of the contributions varies bu little each year, and the work of soliciting l is neither onerous nor unpleasant. Having again performed our Donation day duties we are glad to come to you Mrs. President, bringing our sheaves-th | liberal benefactions of our citizens-witl us to replenish your storehouse and you | treasury. Although we know this is bu | part of what is necessary for the sup port of the institution for a single year | yet we know that it acceptably augment other resources so that your cash balanc
 at the close of the year is not on tn l wrong side.
 In the enlargement of your future work
 preparations for which have already com
 menced in the erection of a building O
 these grounds, which is to be used as ! years of age, we wish you, Mrs. Presiden I and lady managers, God speed.
 We believe the experience of the pas
 will justify the statement, that in tn
 future you have but to ask and you wi
 receive all that is necessary for the suI
 port of an orphaned children, who may
 providentially committed to your care ti
 they shall leave this comfortable home fo
 others which may be provided for then | With thankful hearts for all that ha
 been done for the asylum in the past by
 generous public and generous friends, or
 of whom has recently donated the fund
 for your new building which is in procei
 of erection to-day, and with gratitude
 the giver of every good and perfect gi1 l for his continued watchful care over u interests of the asylum and that he has nt 1 permitted sickness and death to invade tl
 ranks of these children during the pa | year, and that his favor and loving kint l ness have rested like benediction on a
 your benefcent labors in their beha
 may you go forward with courage in yor
 future work, throwing wide open u
 doors of the asylum to receive the lit
 orphan strangers under two years of ae
 for whom you have made no provisio
 heretofore, and may you be encouraged b
 the thought that, behind you stand g gel
 erous public and generous friends wh
 will honor any draft you may make o
 their iberality for the support and mail
 tenance of this our own worthy hon
 charity.
 ! And may you be cheered by the COT
 scious assurance that your work is not
 vain and is approved by him, who sait
 'Tnasmuch as ye have done it unto one (
 the least of these my brethren, ye hay
 done it unto me-" In concluding Chail
 man Chandler made very happy speec to the children, very fitting to the occs
 sion.
 Four songs were rendered by Ericsso
 Bushnell in his usual magnificent style
 and were exquisitely accompanied by Mi

 ing the supper by Robinson's orchestrs
