PRELIMINARY ARRANGEMENTS
In March, 1894, the citizens of Andover, assembled in annual town meeting, took the first steps in preparation for the proper celebration of the town's Two Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary, by action upon the following article:
"To see what action the town will take in regard to the proper observance of the town's Two Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary."
A vote was passed that a committee of fifteen be ap- pointed to formulate a plan and report at the next annual town meeting, and the moderator appointed the following gentlemen as members of that committee:
C. F. P. Bancroft,
George Gould,
Joseph M. Bradley,
Ballard Holt,
Samuel H. Boutwell,
William Marland,
John N. Cole, George H. Poor,
William C. Donald,
Alfred L. Ripley,
George W. Foster,
Joseph W. Smith,
Frederick W. Greene,
John Phelps Taylor,
Howell F. Wilson.
The work of this committee is told in the following de- tailed reports of the chairman made at the annual town meet- ings of the years 1895, 1896, and 1897.
These reports follow at this time that the official record of the preparations for, and observance of, the events of the day may all be found together in this "Book of Proceedings."

ANDOVER, MASSACHUSETTS
At the annual town meeting in 1895, the committee made its first annual report showing progress as follows:
FIRST ANNUAL REPORT OF COMMITTEE OF FIFTEEN
The Committee of Fifteen appointed by the town at the last annual meeting to formulate a plan for the proper observance of the 250th anniversary of the incorporation of Andover beg leave to report as follows :-
The members of the committee as appointed are :
C. F. P. Bancroft, George Gould,
Joseph M. Bradley, Ballard Holt,
Samuel H. Boutwell,
William Marland,
John N. Cole,
George H. Poor,
William C. Donald,
Alfred L. Ripley,
George W. Foster,
Joseph W. Smith,
Frederick W. Greene, John Phelps Taylor,
Howell F. Wilson.
The first meeting of the committee was held for the purpose of organization, at the School Committee Room, March 17, 1894. C. F. P Bancroft was chosen chairman, and John N. Cole, secretary. The general purpose of the committee and the main features of the proposed celebration were considered and further action postponed to a subsequent meeting.
A second meeting was held February 13, 1895, and a third on February 21, 1895, and it was voted to report to the town the follow- ing recommendations :
I. That the celebration be held on Wednesday, the 6th of May, 1896, this day being the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the incorporation of the town by the General Court.
2. That the town of Andover invite the town of North Andover, and the citizens thereof, to participate in such way as may be con- venient and agreeable to them in the celebration of the incorporation of the original township in which they have a common pride and in- heritance.
3. That on the Sunday preceding the 6th of May, 1896, the
15
250TH ANNIVERSARY
ministers in the several churches in Andover and North Andover be invited and requested to preach memorial sermons to their respective congregations.
4. That Albert Poor, Esq., a lineal descendant of one of the original proprietors, and a native citizen of this ancient township be invited to deliver a commemorative historical address.
5. That Mrs. Annie Sawyer Downs be invited to prepare a poem for the occasion, and that Professor John Wesley Churchill be invited to read the same.
6. That all further details, including whatever is desirable in a civic celebration of this character and suitable to this community and to our history, such as the ringing of bells, the firing of cannon, the decoration of public and private buildings, vocal and martial music, athletic games, children's festivals, processions, invitations and hospi- tality, transportation, finance, historical and antiquarian collections, printing and publication, and any and all other things proper and necessary for the worthy celebration of the quarter-millenial history of this town be entrusted to the committee, appointed by the town for the purpose, to report at the next annual meeting, or at such other time as may be found convenient to the committee.
7. That the town authorize the committee to appoint sub-com- mittees and fill vacancies.
Respectfully submitted, For the Committee,
CECIL F. P. BANCROFT, Chairman.
ANDOVER, MASS., March 4, 1895.
The report was accepted and adopted, and the arrange- ments for all details of the celebration were thus continued in the care of the original committee.
In March, 1896, the committee again reported and pre- sented a complete outline of the day's observance.
SECOND ANNUAL REPORT OF COMMITTEE OF FIFTEEN
At the Annual Meeting of 1895 your Committee of Fifteen on the 250 th Anniversary of the Incorporation of Andover, appointed at the Annual Meeting of 1894, reported progress, and presented certain
16
ANDOVER, MASSACHUSETTS
recommendations and appointments, and a general outline of a civic celebration of the 250th Anniversary of the Town. That report was accepted, and its recommendations were adopted. This report, and the action thereon, may be found on pages 15, 16, and 17 of the Annual Reports of the Town Officers for the year ending January 15, 1896.
During the year your Committee held meetings October 26, Novem- ber 13, December 11, December 20, February 3, February 21 ; many meetings have been held by the sub-committees.
There have been two changes in the Committee : Frederick W. Greene, having resigned his charge in the West Parish and removed to Middletown, Ct., his place was filled, in accordance with the author- ity of the vote of the Town, by the appointment of Peter D. Smith; George Gould, having removed temporarily from the town, asked to be released from further service on the Committee, and his place was filled by the appointment of Arthur Bliss.
The Committee deemed it wise to change the date of the celebra- tion from May 6 to May 20, and accordingly to ask the pastors of the churches to preach the memorial sermons on May 17 instead of May 3 next.
The Committee, as authorized by the Town, has created sub- committees as follows :
Invitation and Guests - C. F. P. Bancroft, chairman.
Evening Reception and Historical Tableaux - A. L. Ripley, chairman.
Decorations - George W. Foster, chairman.
Music - Arthur Bliss, chairman.
Salute and Fireworks - John L. Smith, chairman.
Procession - Peter D. Smith, chairman.
Printing- John N. Cole, chairman.
Banquet - William Marland, chairman.
Loan Collection and Historic Sites - Samuel H. Boutwell, chair- man.
Transportation - Howell F. Wilson, chairman.
Sports - Joseph M. Bradley, chairman.
Children's Festival - Joseph W. Smith, chairman.
They have constituted themselves the Finance Committee, with George H. Poor as chairman, to which as General Committee also,
17
250TH ANNIVERSARY
each sub-committee is to report. Each sub-committee has for its chairman or in its membership a member of the General Committee, so that a general unity of plan and effort may be readily secured. About one hundred and seventeen men and women were invited to serve the town on these sub-committees, of whom only two have requested to be excused.
In addition to the appointment of Orator and Poet, as voted at the last town meeting, the Committee of Fifteen have appointed Rev. Frank R. Shipman, pastor of our oldest church, chaplain of the day, Peter D. Smith, chief marshal, and John Wesley Churchill, toast- master.
The provisional program adopted by your Committee includes the following as possible features :
For the evening of May 19, a general reception with music and tableaux illustrating distinctive events and scenes in the town's history.
For the morning of May 20, sunrise bells and artillery salute.
A procession, in which the schools may have a promi- nent place, and the various organizations of the town.
The literary exercises.
The dinner, followed by addresses from distinguished guests and others.
Various entertainment for the children.
Field sports and athletic games.
A loan collection in some suitable place, with objects of special historical, industrial and personal interest.
There has been a very general interest in the matter of decorations, and the Committee expect such general and hearty response from families and firms, especially from the children, as will make a May festival of great beauty.
For the evening of May 20, the Committee has con- sidered the possibility of an out-of-door concert, with a dis- play of fireworks, and possibly one or more in-door prom- enade concerts at the same time.
Your Committee has been guided by a few broad principles. We cannot vie with the larger and richer communities in numbers and display. We have not the means of housing and entertaining a great throng of spectators, who have little interest in our celebration. We must therefore study to make it dignified and worthy, rather than
18
ANDOVER, MASSACHUSETTS
elaborate and costly. We have no one auditorium in which we can gather a very large assembly. The committee has sought to provide a variety of exercises, some of which may properly be in progress at the same time, and which at all events will appeal to a variety of differing interests, thereby relieving the poverty of our accommo- dations.
Your Committee did not accept your appointment in 1894, and its renewal in 1895, as a right of inheritance, or a mark of distinction, or a coveted privilege, but they accepted it as servants of the town to promote a celebration historic, comprehensive, and patriotic. They record here their appreciation of the support they have received thus far from old citizens and new comers, from women as well as men, from youth and adults, from all parts of our scattered territory, and from former residents and their descendants as well as from our pres- ent inhabitants. It has been the desire of your Committee to enlist everybody in this celebration, till everybody within our borders feels that it is unselfishly his. They have taken it for granted that every man, woman and child should regard himself as a member of the great central " committee of the whole," and should charge himself with a responsibility for this celebration, which was begun by the vote and in the name of the town as a whole, of the town as it is to-day, with all the various components that are in it, and which is to be carried on with the distinct aim of paying a worthy tribute of gratitude and reverence to the past, with a conscious civic self-respect and appreciation of the present, and with a generous reference to the future of a township already favorably known for its noble public spirit.
Your Committee therefore have felt it their duty to call upon every citizen, in the name of the town, to assist in this celebration ; and they have called upon a few, out of the very many who are compe- tent for such leadership, by name and by appointment, to represent and organize and direct the activity of our great "committee of the whole," to which every one of our more than six thousand citizens belongs.
Finally, in order to meet the expenses of the celebration, your Committee recommends that the town avail itself of the provisions of the general statute relating to centennial celebrations by towns and cities in this Commonwealth. Under this statute a town may appro- priate a sum not exceeding one-tenth of one per cent. of its taxable
19
250TH ANNIVERSARY
valuation. As your Committee is informed by the Selectmen, our valuation is about $4,500,000, and a tenth of one per cent. would give an appropriation of $4,500 for our Quarter-Millenial, a sum which judiciously expended would meet the requirements of a dignified and comprehensive celebration, while not large enough to warrant any ostentation.
Your Committee accordingly recommends an appropriation not exceeding one-tenth of one per cent. of the taxable valuation, to be expended under the direction of the Finance Committee.
Respectfully submitted, CECIL F. P. BANCROFT, Chairman.
The next report of the committee was presented in March, 1897, and was as follows :
THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF COMMITTEE OF FIFTEEN
At the annual Town Meeting of 1896, your Committee of Fifteen on the 250 th Anniversary of the Incorporation of Andover, which committee was appointed at the Annual Meeting in 1894, made its second annual report, which report was accepted and adopted by a gratifying unanimous vote. This report is printed in the annual report of the Selectmen for the year ending January 12, 1897, and may be found on pages 17-20.
Your Committee respectfully report further at this time that they held meetings during this year as follows : March 9, 18, April 10, 15, 29, May 13, 16, 28, 1896, and February 27, 1897. The sub- committees also held numerous meetings in the discharge of their arduous duties.
In addition to the sub-committees previously reported, your com- mittee appointed a Committee on Manufactures and Trades Exhibit, Howell F. Wilson, chairman, thereby adding to the celebration one of the most interesting and instructive features.
The general reception prepared for May 19 was reluctantly given up, partly in order to give an opportunity to the committee on His- torical Tableaux to repeat the entertainment which had been presented on Saturday evening for the children, and on Monday for the adults. At this third presentation many of the guests from out of town were
20
ANDOVER, MASSACHUSETTS
present. So great was the interest that a fourth performance was arranged and successfully carried out immediately after the third exhibition, Tuesday evening. It is estimated that twenty-eight hun- dred people had the pleasure of seeing these beautiful historical tab- leaux.
The endeavor of the committee to provide simultaneous exercises appealing to different tastes and interests, and to open the Loan Collection and Trades exhibit at convenient hours for several days instead of a single day, proved to be satisfactory.
The clergymen of the various churches kindly responded to the invitation of the town to preach appropriate sermons, or to make suitable allusion to the approaching anniversary, on Sunday, May 17.
The invitation of the Town to the town of North Andover to unite with us in the celebration was not officially accepted, but a vol- untary committee was made up in North Andover to co-operate with our own committee, and very efficient assistance was rendered, partic- ularly in the loan collection. Many citizens of North Andover, some of them specially invited guests of the town of Andover, contributed by their presence to the distinction of the celebration.
The official program and other documents submitted herewith and made a part of this report show the work that was done by the various sub-committees, and the various exercises that were held, beginning with Saturday, May 16, 1896, and closing with the band concert and fireworks on the evening of Wednesday, May 20.
The citizens showed from the beginning to the end a patriotic interest in the celebration and the committees experienced from almost all of them a hearty co-operation. The attendance from abroad and the responses to the special invitations extended by the committee to distinguished representatives of the neighborhood, the county, the state, the colleges and learned societies, and the nation, were very cordial and gratifying.
The committee feel that it is their bounden duty to speak in the highest terms of the manner in which the orator, poet, and toast-master discharged the several duties which they undertook at the invitation of the town, and which called out the most striking expressions of admiration and praise.
The principal duty remaining for the committee is to carry for- ward to completion, the book of the proceedings of the celebration, a
21
250TH ANNIVERSARY
work already far advanced, but for which some additional time is re- quired.
The town generously voted the sum of $4500 for the purposes of the committee. The receipts and expenditures of the committee are shown in detail in the Selectmen's report, and are here appended. The balance on hand reported is $932.62, an amount which the committee regard as ample for the publication of the proceedings and the official payments of the expenses of the celebration. A copy of the proceedings will be delivered free of cost, to the head of every family in town on application. duly received by the secretary of the committee, on or before May I.
Your committee recommend accordingly the following votes :
Voted that the thanks of the town of Andover be and hereby are extended to the pastors of the churches in Andover and North Ando- ver who observed the Anniversary Sunday, May 17, and to the Andover Woman's Missionary Society, for the meeting held under their auspices on the evening of that day ; to the orator, Albert Poor, Esq., for his able historical oration; to Mrs. Annie Sawyer Downs, for her beautiful poem ; to Professor John Wesley Churchill for his admirable rendering of the poem and for his very acceptable service as presiding officer and toast-master at the dinner ; to the Rev. F. R. Shipman, chaplain of the day; to the ladies and gentlemen of the North Andover committee, for their hearty and helpful co-operation ; to the ladies and gentlemen who acted with so much efficiency and success as members of the sub-committees ; and to all who in any way contributed, directly or indirectly, to the successful celebration of this notable anniversary.
Voted that the Committee of Fifteen be continued the coming year and instructed to make a final report at the annual town meeting in March, 1898.
Respectfully submitted, For the Committee, CECIL F. P. BANCROFT, Chairman.
Professor Harris in moving the adoption of the report, said: " In listening to the various votes of thanks, I noticed that one most important one had been omitted, and that was a
22
ANDOVER, MASSACHUSETTS
vote of thanks to the general committee for their services. I now would move you, sir, that we adopt this report with the addition of a generous vote of thanks to the general com- mittee." The report as amended was accepted.
