HAPPY ORPHANS.

tees Dinner and Election.
Yesterday was the annual donation day of
of the New Haven Orphan asylum and being
a fine October day, it was very suspicious
for the noble work in hand. Early in the
morning the donation day committee, COM
posed of many of the leading younger
business men of the city, under the charge
of Major T. A. Barnes, their chairman,
commenced canvass of the business por.
ton of the city. The ladies of the man
agement at the asylum repaired promptly
to the asylum to arrange the program fol
the day. From until o'clock the pro
gram, which is printed below, was carried
out. The asylum was visited during the
afternoon by large number of ladies and
gentlemen who are interested in the work.
At o'clock the members of the committee
met in the center of the city in front Of
General Merwin's Office, and in carriages
started for the asylum. bringing their har-
vest with them. The harvest consisted OF
about seven heavily laden wagons: On
each wagon were banners appropriately
inscribed in honor of the occasion.
On the side of the first hacks was the
announcement that the total cash contri-
buttons was So, 700, against $3.50 of last
year. The falling off ia due of course to
the financial depression, and the manage
nent felt encouraged that the amount was
as large as it ia.
A third or more of the receipts In cash
each year comes from the employees In the
factories in small donations, and owing tc
the dull times in the shops this source Of
| revenue fell off heavily.
On the arrival of the committee at the
asylum they were met by the lady mana
gers and escorted to one of the large rooms
in the school building, where the children
gave very interesting entertainment.
Following this the prizes were presented
the presentations being made by the fol
