 Then they went into the dining room for their supper, where iced cakes. cream puffs and other dainties awaited them, thoughtfully furnished by the managers When they had eaten all they could the rest was crammed into their pockets and their teachers and friend with the club and brass buttons were surrounded and made sharers of the remains of their feast. A happier set of children was never seen.
 About 4:30 huge wagons came in bearing substantial evidence of the generosity of the citizens of New Haven, and carriages drove up to the door, from which the com mittee alighted, after their hard days toll, and were received in the main building by the ladies.
 At 4:30 the committee and guests went into the school room, where the children were awaiting them. MT. Chandler, pres ident of the donation committee, said that in the absence of Rev. Dr. Phillips, Mir. John c. North would make the prayer After the prayer the following program was carried out:

 "We welcome the return of Donation | day because we believe and know that it l inspires and fosters in the hearts of our citizens genuine love for the institution | and it's noble work.
 l We know that it has increased the num-
 Der of those who annually give and give
 cheerfully for the support of the dear l children sheltered beneath this roof. 1 While we were aware that the liberal
 benefactions of 8 generous public which
 we are permitted to bring to you each Do nation day are inadequate for the yearly | without these contributions your work
 would be seriously crippled and much of
 it would necessarily have to be aban- doned.
 l By the munifcent gift of good friend
 of the asylum, Mrs. Nathan A. Baldwin,
 you have during tine past year erected and
 furnished wonder connections home for
 infants, known as the Nina-Lynette nur-
 sery; beautiful memorial of two be-
 loved nieces of the donor.
 The care and maintenance of this nur- ! xrhio1 io fo ha har,o a6i | under two years of age, for whom you have hitherto made no provision, necessi-
 tates an increase in your yearly income,
 which we are confident will be applied. Believing and trusting in the divine guardianship of this institution, we would 1 say, Mrs. president, accept the munifcent
 gifts, enlarge your work, go forward with
 courage. Donation day will remain, our
 association will continue loyal, kind and
 generous hearts will be inspired to aid you,
 and God will bless the asylum and reward you and your associates for your self
 sacrificing labors in it's behalf.
 We welcome the return of this day, Mrs. President, because we believe it brings cheer and encouragement to you and your
 sister officers in the discharge of your self
 sacrificing labors.
 It must be that you are encouraged and
 cheered, as on Donation day, year after I year, you see the liberal contributions of ] the friends of the asylum brought to these
 doors, and know that with the gifts you
 have the confidence and sympathy of the
 givers. The encouragement, sympathy
 and support which kind friends and a
 asylum in the past, we think, should in
 spire you, Mrs. President, with faith to be-
 lieve that in the future, under the care | of the divine guardian and protector, the
 wants of the asylum will be supplied, the
 barrel of meal will not waste nor the cruse of oil fail.
 1 We welcome the return of this anniver-
 sary because it brings joy and gladness to these children. It is their day. It is ex- | clusively the children's day of the New Haven orphan asylum.
 for them, and we are glad it is SO. Pre-
 sumably they enjoy the day better for talk ing part in it's exercises. Possibly they
 may feel like the good old deacon who said
 that he always enjoyed the prayer meeting the best when he took part in it himself Sure it is, however, that pleasant memo
 ries of these anniversary days will follow
 them all through their lives, and they will
 look back many times to donation days in
 the New Haven orphan asylum as bright
 oases in their child life. We welcome the return of this day be- cause it gives us-and we mean by us, Mrs.
 President, the Donation day committee l an opportunity of stepping aside from the beaten paths of self-serving and indulging in a little disinterested activity for the good of others. .,- ... Most of us are not overburdened with | much serving of our fellows without hope of fee or reward, and occasional practice l of this hornely virtue will result in ben efcial reflex influence on ourselves; for it | is impossible for any person to do disin- l terested act of kindness or charity, be it but the giving of a cup of cold water in the name of the master, without having his own heart warmed with something of the spirit of A"him who came not to be ministered. unto, but to minister" and who said: ssInasmuch as ye have done it | unto one of the least of one of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. "1 -' 75 ''Now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three, but the greatest of these is charity. |" In our labors for the asylum to-day we have not forgotten two of our number, one an honorary, the other for many years an active member of the Donation day com mittee, who have so recently been removed from us by death. MT. Henry H .Bunnen. who died few months since. was man of kindly deeds and q loyal friend of the New Haven orphan asylum He was idsn- tifed with the Donation day committee from it's organization to the day of his death. For several years he was it's chair man and on his shoulders rested the bur den of arranging the details for 8 success full Donation day collection. How well he performed his work the increasing yearly contributions of his administration will attest. atar.se4.z5 7frs:ts- s4.sF ...s..'., 5-. 5 In the death of Ex-G Governor Hobart B. Bigelew, who was called home last Mon day, our association and the New Haven orphan asylum have lost a valued friend. By his kind and courteous manner to all who approached him, by his cheerful will lingness to give to every truly needy cause which was presented to him, he endeared himself to the citizens of New Haven as few could hope to do. <5l5 1,Y .s.atf slr-
