A GENEROUS RESPONSE TO ANNUAL
APPEAL FOR THE ORPHANS.


ceed Amounts Contributed Last Year
Exercises by the City's Little Wards
Remarks by Gen. George II. Ford for the
Trustees-Bnnquet at the Tontine Hotel.
Yesterday was the annual donation
day at the New Haven Orphan asylum
and holiday, to which even Christ
mas cannot compare to the little Walts
cared for at the institution. Early in
the day all the tots were dressed in
their best Sunday clothes and an air
of expectancy reigned throughout the
asylum buildings at the, corner of Elm
and Platt streets. Nothing could COM
pare with the preparations for the
events of the afternoon and the sup
pressed excitement with which every
one in the buildings was inspired, un-
less perhaps it might be the prepara-
tions for the old fashioned last day of
school.
Early in the afternoon the visitors
began to arrive, chiefly ladies, and
from that time on until after dark the
corridors of the main building of the
asylum and the nursery building at one
corner of the yard were filled with the
visiting ladies, including members of
the committee and friends of the aSy-
lum, while the children gazed in rapt-
ure and some with awe as well at the
kind ladies and gentlemen who had
come to see them.
One of the most interesting rooms in
the building was that at the rear of
the lower hall and opposite the kitchen,
where were gathered a number of the
asylum children, about three years of
age. About the middle of the after
noon these little people dined. A low
table was spread for them in the CEN
ter of the room and the group, about
fifteen in number, were seated around
1T in baby chairs. All were dressed in
neat frocks and each looked clean and
we'll cared for. They were watched
during their meal by a considerable
crowd of interested spectators. At the
same time the older children We're at
dinner in the large dining room, where
Rev. DR.. Smyth offered a blessing. All
had finished by o'clock and then they
We're allowed to play and run in the
large yard between the main hall of the
asylum and the school house for a
short time until they were gathered in
the school room for the closing exer-
cises of the day and to meet the gen.
tlemen of the donation committee.
