Picnic in Aid of st. Vinvent's.
Saturday, Aug. 6, will be Orphans
Day at Manhattan Beach. and all> OF
the philanthropically inclined people OF
Denver will assemble to do their snare
toward making the benefit a success
| For some time the st. Vincents AID
! society has had under consideration a
plan to raise money TO pay off the in
debtedneSs on the handsome new
structure which was last year reared
on the site of the old building which
was destroyed by fire in 1902.
The picnic is an annual occasion for
the children of the orpan asylum, but
tbs yiear an effort will be made to
interest a wide number of outsiders III
the affair and the result will, it is
hoped, be material addition to the
treasury of the institution.
The first movement toward the COM
plete success of the undertaking was
a mass meeting which was held last
Sunday in one of the class rooms in
the Logan Avenue school. A tempo
rary committee called the meeting, the
announcement being made on Sunday
morning from every pulpit in the city.
AS a result over 100 of the leading men
and women interested in st. Vincent's
gathered together and the initial steps
were taken. Manhattan Beach was
selected, as something different from
the regular line of attractions offered
patrons of the picnic year after year.
Added to the scheduled list of novel
ties will be many innovations which
Will be introduced gratuitously by
friends of the orphans.
AT Sundays meeting a board of Of
fcers was appointed and the plans out
lined. William T. Davoren of st. Leo'S
parish is to be chairman; Maurice Do
Ian, secretary; Patrick Riordah, treas
urer, and James Phelan Cuddy, pro-
moter of publicity. Mr.. Riordan and
Charles H. Wilkins will practically su-
pervise the entire affair. These men
have been at the head of all chart
table enterprises in recent years and
10 them has been due the success of
1ances, card parties, fairs and picnics
which have been the means of sup I
porting religious institutions Next Sun !
lay second mass meeting will be /
leld in the same place to perfect ar
'angements, and tickets will be dis
ributed then to be sold by the vari-
JUS parishes. AS an inducement to the
of tickets it has been de-
ided 10 make a prize Offering. A cou-
ION bearing a number is attached to
ach ticket. At a drawing held the
light after the picnic the holder of the
ucky number will be given a round
rip ticket to the Worlds Fair at st.
1ouis and his or her expenses for fif-
cen days at S. per hay. This is the
prize offering yet made.

y who are in charge of St. Vincent's
