| The Annual Red Letter Day for the
 New Haven Orphan Asylum-Need
 of Generous Givfng-The Names of
 the Soliciting Commfttee-The Conn |
 mittees Banquet To-Night. |
 To-day is the annual red letter day for the orphan asylum, and there is buoyant feeling of hopefulness among Professor Chandler's committee who are to canvass the city to-day, and among the ladies who have the interest of the asylum so much at heart, that the days result will bring as much joy to the asylum and all interested in its welfare as any preceding donation day has done, and it would be highly gratifying if the record should be beaten and the harvest excel all previous efforts. Yesterdays return of bright weather, suc- ceeding the dismal storm and raging winds, was encouraging, and augured we'll for a ssgood day and track" to-day. With good weather to-day most handsome re- turns are hoped for. There is abundant need of generous responses from all. The asylum greatly need liberal giving in its behalf to-day. Without this annual gift, the work could not go on and all the aid given is carefully made use of, and wisely and judiciously spent under the efficient and unwearying supervision of the ladies | in charge. In the printed call circulated | yesterday, appealing for generous giving | to-day, is the following.
 s'The value of Donation Day to this distinct l ively home charity cannot be over estimated. | Without the liberal benefactions of a generous
 o os 9ery in nhs soa paa tae l ably have been closed against many needy chil | dren."
