| speakers, among them Hon. N. D..
| Sperry Mr.. Harry w. Asher Mr.. F. A
Belts, Colonel N. G. Osborn, Mr. Arthur

spersed with musical selections.
The committee especially requests
that every member will be present and
assist in making Donation day and the
banquet of 1897 memorable in the his
| tory of orphan asylum donation days.
The annual appeal to the public for
| their donation to the New Haven or
phan asylum is made with great con-
| fidence on account of the willing and
| generous responses in years gone by,
and especially in view of the increased
| donations of last year. About one-th1 ID
| of the entire income of the asylum is
| derived from the gifts of its friends on
Donation day. The expenses of the
| asylum for the year ending May Is,
1897, were SIG 1854. OF this sum $5,445.9 SO
| was provided for by donation day col
| lections. This statement alone is sutfi-
| cient to show both the economic man
| agement of this charity and the large
| Importance of Donation day. The I'M
dersigned committee is expecting lib
eral response to their efforts to make
| Donation day this year unusually sue
| cessful. systematic canvass of the
city will be made:
