iacceaaof the firat annual Donation
Day at the Jamea Walker- Memorial
Hospital yealerday afternoon In spite
of the cold, bleak afternoon and gen
erally threatening ' weather, tbe tea
and reception given there from 2 to 6
o'dock waa well attended by a coa
mopolitao aatemblage of gueate, num
bering more than five hundred and
Including both ladiea and gentlemen.
Tha responses to the aplrit of the oc
casion were liberal. i
Tha offerinra were entirely volun
tary and while the cause merited tbe
contribution of a larger turn. It Is
a compliment to the generodty
or a fair-minded people that during
the boura Indicated 1650.25 waa
given. Tbe contrlbutiona ranged
from fraetlona of a dollar to $100 eacb,
and there wer more than one
of the latter data. It la hoped that
others will ba inspired by tbe splendid
ezample of those vbo gave yesterday
and will make further donationa ere
the Thanksgiving aeaaon baa patted.
Any who dedre to do ao would con
tribute, to a moat worthy cauae by
leaving any amount with Dr. Aker
man or any member of the Board ot
Macagerv. The ladle hoped ever ao
much to repeat the reception tbia
afternoon, but owing to the admitaion
yesterday evening of a patient very
111 vlth ferer it vaa deemed inadvis
able to do ao.
In the reception yeaterday after
noon the ladle under the capable
leadership of Mra. Willard and th
chairmen of all tub-committee a, acored
a charming aoclal as veil at a finan
cial uecetf. The corridors, officer,
drawing and reception room, atalr
caeee and all other place of ran tag
ia the fine building were attractively
decorated with palmt, fern, bamboo
acd other . evergreenr, while in the
