Sketch Of the Institution.

Ope could almost have wished himself an
orphan for the sake of sharing in the joys of
party of youngsters who came here on q
picnic from Vallejo yesterday. They were
the children of the Orphans Home of the
Good Temp!ars. The party was 100 strong,
numbering fifty girls and fifty boys, the
most of the latter dressed in a nObby blue
and red cadet uniform and armed with
miniature rifles, to say nothing Of a drum
corps. The girls wore no uniform, but they
were just as happy-faced and contented
looking and brave appearing as the boys.
Accompanying the party was H. A. Nelson,
principal of the Orphans School, and a
number of the Board of Lady Directors,
comprising Mrs. NJ. Z. Partridge, the PreSi-
dent, Mrs. NJ. NJ. Carpenter, the Secretary,
and Mesdames S. L. Cline, NJ. Z. Richard
son and h Hart.
Through the kindness of the Mrssrs.
Piper, Alden & Co. the steamer SunOl was
secured free of charge for the excursion,
and it landed its Loaf of little passengers at
the Vale o-street Wharf at O'Clock yester-
day morning. a Haight-Street car was
chartered, and it conveyed the picnickers to
the children's playground at Golden Gate
Park. There the day was spent in such
rOmping and frOlickIng as only children out
for holiday know how to enjoy. The
and many an eXhilarating ride was had
upon it.
Alta o'clock the party, tired and hungry,
again took the cable-cRr for down town,
afterward marching past the offices of THE
MORNING CALL and also by the Pacific
Bank, at each of which places three rousing
cheers were given, those at the bank being
intended for Dr.. Mcdonald, liberal donor
Of the home.
Through the liberality of the Board of
Lady Managers dinner had been provided
for the party at restaurant on Geary
street, and it was hungry crowd that sat
down at two long tables and partook Of the
meal. And how they did eat The waters
came very nearly going cut on a strike at
tile appalling HOraci0usneSs of the Juvenile
appettes. And such onslauGhtS as were
made on the fruits and lce-cream. But
fortunately the restaurant had been notified
in time, so that famine was averted.
At O'Clock the party of joyous youngsters
re-embarked on the Sunol ana with three
cheers for san Francisco they pulled out
into the stream aud steamed slowly away
h1meward.
While the visiting orphans were passing
the Protestant Orphan Asylum on their re-
turn from the park they were greeted by

had been drawn up in line on the sidewalk
by Henry p. Shedd ana the Matron.
