INTRODUCTION.
GLOUCESTER, 1892.
THE CELEBRATION
OF THE Two HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY
OF THE INCORPORATION OF THE
TOWN OF GLOUCESTER
INTRODUCTION.
T HE Two Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary of the incorporation of the town of Gloucester was fittingly observed during the days of Aug. 24, 25, 26, 1892.
Agitation and the appeal to public spirit through the press and in mass meeting ; the selection of a representative Executive Committee and the choice of competent sub-committees ; a variety of features planned to interest all classes ; generous gifts of money, time, and labor without stint, - these, with the enthusiasm of our people, were the agencies which insured the success of the great celebration.
In the beginning no other feature was reckoned of more import- ance than the publication of a book which should give a true and detailed account of the anniversary observance. With this in view a Publication Committee was chosen, consisting of
ALFRED F. STICKNEY. FREEMAN PUTNEY.
ISAAC N. STORY. ROBERT F. LEIGHTON.
ARCHIE J. MOORE. Miss LUCY S. TAPPAN. Miss SARAH G. DULEY.
As early as March 20, 1891, the City Council voted to ask the State Legislature to pass the following bill :
" The City of Gloucester is hereby authorized to raise by taxation a sum not exceeding five thousand dollars for the purpose of celebrating the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of its incorporation as a town
4
TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTIETHI ANNIVERSARY
and of publishing an account of the proceedings of such celebration," and on the 13th of May, following, the same became an act by the approval of the Governor.
One of the first appropriations made by the Executive Committee was the sum of one hundred and fifty dollars, voted on the sixth day of April, 1892, for the use of the Publication Committee. And on Sept. 28, five hundred dollars was appropriated.
It was decided by the original Committee on Publication to assign the work of collecting the material, and of preparing the manuscript for the printer, to Mr. Alfred F. Stickney, a man whose ability as a journalist, whose instinct for gathering news, and whose methodical habits eminently fitted him for such a task. But by reason of the exacting duties of his profession as editor, and on account of his sick- ness and death, the purpose of the committee was not realized.
It is unfortunate that the book was not issued at the appropriate time, when the events of the anniversary were fresh and vivid in the minds of the people ; but, in the lapse of years, the original purpose has not been overlooked, nor the obligation to the citizens forgotten.
The permanent memorial, prolific in suggestion and discussion, had well nigh absorbed all other interests for a time, but after a hearing before the Executive Committee, the issues were separated, and the present committee appointed in August, 1898, with full power to publish the Anniversary Proceedings.
To take up the work begun by other hands, six years before, is not an easy or satisfactory task ; but the members of this committee, not unmindful of difficulties and disadvantages, entered upon their work with united purpose, and have diligently labored to give to the public a reliable record of the Two Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary Pro- ceedings.
With great care and foresight Mr. Stickney had collected a large amount of matter touching the celebration which we have found invaluable.
We have also sought from all available sources everything of interest concerning the Anniversary, yet we regret that our most diligent search has failed to find some data and a few pictures that would have been of considerable value.
The committee have endeavored to bring together in one volume, without pretence to literary adornment, a thorough and consecutive account of events in respect to the celebration as they happened.
We believe our readers will estimate the book for its value in keeping alive in memory the stirring experiences of Anniversary Week.

OF THE TOWN OF GLOUCESTER, MASS.
They will again share in the happy reunion of sons and daughters in City Hall, or call to mind the vast audience in the mammoth tent listening to the masterly oration, the inspired poem, the thrilling odes, and the stirring song.
They will see again the white battleships in the harbor ; or watch the fishing vessels racing over the stormy sea.
The school children will once more pass by in gay procession. Marines and soldiers step again to martial music, and the brave firemen stir anew the pride of the people.
The banquet and the speeches, the life and the beauty of the ball, will seem like the joys of yesterday.
We trust as well that those coming after us will prize the volume for what it reveals concerning the patriotic spirit of a people living in the quarter-millennial period after the founding of this ancient town.
They will say of us, our fathers were careful to keep the precepts.
" Look unto the rock whence ye are hewn."
" Remove not the ancient landmark which thy fathers have set."
We are persuaded, also, that the book will be valued by those who study our local history ; the comprehensive historical address by Dr. Trask, and the illustrations of the early and later Gloucester, contained in this volume, give to it a value which will increase as years go by.
ACTION OF THE FOURTH OF JULY COMMITTEE.
The earliest definite action looking to the suitable observance of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the incorporation of Gloucester as a town was that. taken by the Fourth of July Committee at the office of Hon. William W. French, in Rogers Block, Main Street, on Wednesday evening, June 17, 1891.
At this meeting the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : -
Voted, That it is the sense of this meeting that the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the incorporation of the town of Gloucester should be appropriately celebrated.
Voted, That this committee propose to take hold of this celebration with the earnest cooperation of the City Government, the citizens of Gloucester, and the absent sons and daughters, and carry it through to a successful con- summation.
6
TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY
Voted, That the secretary of this meeting be authorized to issue circulars to the business men and the public spirited ladies, inviting them to meet with this committee at the adjourned meeting.
Voted, That the City Government be requested to appoint a joint special committee to meet with this committee and represent the city in whatever arrangements are made for the celebration.
Voted, That the secretary be authorized to notify the City Government of the action of this meeting.
Voted, That when this meeting adjourns it be to Wednesday evening, June 24, 1891, at 8 o'clock, at Morgan's Academy Hall, in Rogers stone block (now the Cape Ann Savings Bank building).
At this meeting Mr. French presided and Mr. George H. Procter was secretary. The initiative steps were then taken which led up to the successful celebration in August, 1892.
MASS MEETING, MORGAN'S ACADEMY HALL.
In response to the circulars issued by the Fourth of July Com- mittee, a large number of prominent men and women gathered at Morgan's Academy Hall, Rogers Block, Main Street, Wednesday even- ing, June 24, 1891. Hon. William W. French called the meeting to order, at eight o'clock, and Mr. George H. Procter was chosen secretary.
Mr. FRENCH made a ringing speech, in which he paid a well merited compliment to Gloucester's patriotism from the very foundation of the town. From the great interest manifested at this meeting by the presence of so many men and women, he believed that the celebra- tion would now go forward to a triumphant success.
Letters were then read from Hiram Rich, Prof. Robert F. Leigh- ton, David S. Presson, David I. Robinson, Michael J. McNeirney, Charles A. Russell, His Excellency William E. Russell, Governor, Col. Charles G. Thornton, Freeman Putney, Rev. F. Barrows Makepeace, Mrs. Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward, Miss Marion Hovey, Rev. Herbert D. Ward, and Rev. Thomas J. Villers ; all of these were strongly in favor of a suitable observance of the anniversary.
Alderman D. SOMES WATSON moved, that " It be the sense of this meeting that a suitable celebration be held."
This motion provoked able discussion, the telling points in favor being received with great applause.

OF THE TOWN OF GLOUCESTER, MASS.
Rev. WILLIAM H. RIDER said, " It will be fifty years before another opportunity will present itself for such a celebration. Our city can take a just pride in her history, her growth, and the position she has always maintained among the cities of the Commonwealth. The history of Gloucester antedates much of the political history of the Commonwealth and the country. Its history antedates the Pilgrims ; for years before they landed at Plymouth Rock John Smith skirted the headlands of Cape Ann and gave it a name."
Councilman GEORGE DOUGLASS said, " While it might be a ques- tion as to how the money should be raised, it was not a question as to whether we should have a celebration." As a native of Gloucester, he pledged himself to do his utmost to make it a success.
Dr. JOSEPH GARLAND believed in the celebration which should have the co-operation of every citizen, both native born and by adoption.
Judge JAMES DAVIS said, "I am the oldest person present, and also a native born. My ancestors came from Wales in the seventeenth century, two of three brothers settling at what is now Annisquam, the Indian name being Wonasquam. Although growing rather old to take an active part, I am willing to do my part, and hope that the younger citizens will take hold with a will and enthusiasm so that we shall all be proud of the occasion."
Rev. J. J. HEALEY said, " While not a native of Gloucester, no one has a deeper interest in her welfare. In hearty sympathy with the celebration, the question ought to be settled by acclamation. The celebration should, however, be something more than fireworks. Some permanent industry should be established giving employment to the poor. We are not rich, but there are many who could give largely toward such an object, not looking merely for per cent on their money."
JOHN C. PIERCE, Esq., of Rockport, speaking as native of Glouces- ter's daughter, advocated such a celebration as would make the city larger and more prosperous.
Rev. RUFUS P. HIBBARD said, "The more the question of the celebration has been brought to my mind the more I am in favor of it. It seems impossible for a city to exist so many years without having the rich treasures of her history gathered up and preserved for the benefit of the future. I believe that the people will unite and have a celebration of which every one would be justly proud."
City Clerk JOHN J. SOMES said, " As a member of the Fourth of July Committee, full of pyrotechnics and brass band music, I am for this celebration. Born in Gloucester, and identified with all her
8
TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY
interests, I believe the city has a future before it second to none other. Putting aside all jealousies let us be determined that this celebration shall be the best Gloucester ever saw."
Mayor ASA G. ANDREWS said, " that he believed that the City Council would do everything possible that the celebration might be a success."
Dr. GEORGE MORSE said, " With scenery unsurpassed along the New England coast, Gloucester should make the most of such a heri- tage and do all that she could to advertise herself. Believing in the celebration, I shall do all that I can that it may be a success."
Mr. ALBERT W. BACHELOR, Principal of the High School, spoke earnestly in favor, saying among other things, " The child born on the ' Mayflower' was twenty-two years old at the time we commemorate. What other city has grown from infancy to twenty-five thousand people on a single industry ? "
Mr. FRED. W. TIBBETS also added a few words in favor of the celebration.
Alderman WATSON then withdrew his original motion and offered the following, which was adopted without a dissenting vote : -
Whereas, The citizens of Gloucester in mass meeting assembled, recog- nizing the importance of giving suitable expression to the movement looking to the celebration of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the town in 1892,
Resolved, That the event shall be celebrated in an appropriate manner.
Resolved, That as citizens of Gloucester we assure the committee who shall have charge of this celebration, that we will assist them in every possible way.
Messrs. William A. Homans, Jr., Joseph Garland, and Charles E. Story were appointed a committee to report a list of permanent officers.
Messrs. Fred. W. Tibbets, Asa G. Andrews, John J. Somes, D. Somes Watson, George Douglass, Mrs. Mary P. Lloyd, and Mrs. Charles Prindall were selected to report a list of all sub-committees required to make the celebration a success.
Messrs. Joseph O. Procter, Benjamin H. Corliss, John K. Dus- tin, Jr., who were unable to be present, sent word of their hearty sympathy with the movement.
The meeting then adjourned to Wednesday evening, July 1, 1891, at eight o'clock, at the same place.
WILLIAM H. JORDAN, President of the Celebration, Chairman Executive Committee, Chief Marshal Grand Military, Civie and Trades Procession.
