 Yesterday was donation day at the Home of the Friendless on Clinton ave- nue and all through the day there were callers with gifts. In the afternoon the officers and managers were present to receive the friends and the building was thronged with callers. The man agers had given notice that a large do- nation was required as the wants of the home were numerous, on account of the larger building and a desire to open new rooms for inmates. The re- sponse was quite hearty, but with the approach of winter larger contribu- tions will be necessary and the man. agers would feel very grateful to friends of the institution who have not given to bestow some offering during the week.
 The gifts yesterday were in cash, groceries, provisions and household supplies of various kinds. Many of the callers inspected the new home and 1o+a ness and the air of comfort observable. If the contributions were sufficient some new rooms will be furnished and opened so that additional inmates can be cared for.
