PRELIMINARY ARRANGEMENTS.
In his inaugural address to the City Council, on the 5th of January, 1880, His Honor Mayor Prince referred to the approaching anniversary as follows : -
This year of 1880 makes an era in our history. The seventeenth day of the coming September will be the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the settlement of Boston. It is expected that we should distinguish the event by some proper civic commemoration. Your judgment will determine what befits the occasion. The states of Governor Winthrop and Samuel Adams will be then completed. and, without doubt, you will deem it appropriate to dedicate them on our natal day. As there are many interesting unprinted records of our early town meetings and other municipal transactions, most valuable as illustrating the political and social history of Boston, it has been suggested that it would be a proper time to secure some of them from the dangers incident to manuscript by their publication in a memorial, as a part of the celebration. I would that all our record could thus be preserved and made known, for we may be proud of it. Boston in all her history has been conspicuous for her patriotism, for her devotion to the cause of civil and religious liberty, and for the sacrifices she has made in its behalf. She was among the first to protest against the tyranny of the British Crown, and in Faneuil Hall it may be claimed that the Revolution, which culminated in American independence, was organized. She has always exercised a marked influence upon national thought and national action. She has been foremost in recognizing those humanities which mark the progress of civilization ; fore- most in establishing benevolent, charitable, and philanthropic institutions ; foremost in promoting popular education through the free school ; and foremost in promoting moral culture. Through the energy, enterprise, intelligence, and integrity of her citizens she has attained great material prosperity. Let us hope that these virtues will long distinguish them, and when another cycle

ANNIVERSARY PROCEEDINGS
of two hundred and fifty years is added to our history, it may be found that the invocation on our city seal has been realized, - that, as God was with the fathers, so has he continued to be with us.
This portion of the Mayor's address was referred to a joint special committee, consisting of Aldermen James J. Flynn and Charles V. Whitten, Conncihnen Joseph Healy, Daniel J. Sweeney, and Henry N. Sawyer. Subsequently Councilman Lewis R. Tucker was appointed to fill the vacancy on the committee caused by the death of Mr. Healy.
On the 29th of April the committee submitted a report, in which the programune of the celebration was outlined. The report was accepted, and the following order and resolution were adopted : -
Ordered, That the Joint Special Committee, to whom was referred so much of the Mayor's address as relates to the celebration of the two hun- dred and fiftieth anniversary of the settlement of Boston, be increased by adding thereto the President and three other members of the Common Council, with such as the Board of Aldermen may join, and that said committee be authorized to make the necessary arrangements for such celebration, and to expend a. sum not exceeding the special appropriation for said object.
Resolved, That His Honor the Mayor be invited to meet and act with said committee, as a member thereof.
The Board of Aldermen, on the 3d of May, concurred in the pas- sage of the resolve and order, and they were approved by the Mayor on the 5th.
The committee appointed under the terms of the above order to make arrangements for the celebration was constituted as follows : Hon. Frederick O. Prince, Mayor; Aldermen Hugh O'Brien, James J. Flynn, Charles V. Whitten, Charles II. B. Breck, Asa HI. Caton, and William Woolley ; Councilmen Harvey N. Shepard, Daniel J. Sweeney, Henry N. Sawyer, Lewis R. Tucker, Malcolm S. Green- ough, Benjamin F. Anthony, and Dudley R. Child.
It was decided that one of the principal features of the celebration should be a civic, military, and trades procession.

Very truly yours, A. P. MARTIN.
The Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company tendered its ser- viees as a special escort to the City Government, and the offer was accepted. The organization of the trades procession was intrusted to the Massachusetts Charitable Mechanic Association. It was also decided that there should be an evening procession of the German societies of Boston, under the management of the Boston Turnverein.
It was further decided that there should be an oration in Old South Church, the use of that building having been kindly tendered by the Old South Association, and the Mayor was invited to deliver the ora- tion. The Mayor was also requested to hold a reception in Faneuil Hall on the evening of September 16th.
The arrangements for conveying the city's guests to and from the quarters assigned them, and of seating the audiences in the Old South Church and Faneuil Hall, were assigned to Mr. Alvah HI.

[Translation. ]
In the municipal committee on the celebration on September 17th of the jubilee of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the City of Boston, the suggestion was some weeks ago made, that the most interesting and attractive affair which could be gotten up for the festal evening would be a magnificent German torchlight procession. This view found general acceptance with the committee, for a torchlight procession such as those which on occasions of exceptional rejoicings are set on foot in Germany, New York, and the great cities of the West, is something which in Boston has never yet taken place. A special committee was appointed for communication with the Germans upon the subject. These gentlemen came at once to the Turnverein, by far the strongest of the societies in point of numbers, and to whom the task of arranging the necessary historical pictures for the procession would be a familiar one. The Turnverein, acting upon the conviction that the execution of the project could not but reflect honor upon the whole German element in our community, likewise appointed a committee to bring about the affair, in connection with the municipal committee, if possible.
As you will already have learned, a conclusive decision in the matter was had on the 21st inst., and its execution can now be commenced. With the assurance in its hands that all the expenses are to be borne by the city, the committee appointed by the Turnverein went into session at once, and resolved that the great torchlight procession should be an undertaking by all our German citizens acting together. Moreover that all German associations should be requested to send one delegate cach to a general committee meeting to take place on Tuesday, August 31st.
The procession is to consist of one thousand men, all uniformed alike. In it are found sixteen wagons, upon which are grouped the tableaux representing important events from Boston's past history. A distinguished German artist prepares the sketches, and to Turnlehrer Hermann will be entrusted the placing of the groups.
