 Early in the year we were visited by measles The household was in quar- antine from May 15 to July 2S, when the children went to church for the first time. There were seventy eight cases, including one employe. With this exception, the health of the family has been ordinarily good.
 The children have been taught as usual There has been no change of teachers and the schools have been very satisfactory. The older boys have been instructed in carpentry on Saturday, and the older girls in sewing. Both classes have accomplished all that we could expect from the age of the chil- dren and the time devoted to their in- struction.
 The children have attended church and Sunday school at the United church. The Sunday afternoon service, at the asylum, Is always interesting, and instructive, and is greatly enjoyed by the children. On Easter Sunday they attended the Sunday school anni- yersary at St. PauPs church, where they sang and recited.
 The nOHQdVS nave UeeH IHdue dS pleasant and homelike as possible. The children had their Thanksgiving din- ner, and the children in the primary department of the Sunday school at- tended a charming Thanksgiving party, arranged by their superintendent, Miss Richardson, assisted by the teachers. All the children who are in the Sunday school attended the Christmas festival of the United church. On Christmas day the dinner was the great event. Mrs. Robertson gave the turkeys, as usual. The Christmas festival a few days later was delightful one. The children sang and recited, and beau tiful tree held gifts for all.
 Donation day, October 15, was bright and beautiful. The excitement of presidential campaign could not check the ardor of the committee, hard times could not chill the hearts of the con tributors. A large donation, even un- usually large. cheered the managers; throng of kind and sympathizing friends gladdened the children. To all who helped us by their labor, their gifts or their presence We extend our thanks. In August, by invitation of the New Haven Steamboat company, the asy- lum family, with some of the managers, enjoyed an afternoon sail on the sound The day was one of the hottest of the season. and the delightful breeze on the water was a welcome change from the torrid air of the city-a breath of re newed life, indeed, to the many chill dren recovering from measles.
