THE CELEBRATION
OF THE
Two HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY
OF THE INCORPORATION OF
THE TOWN OF MALDEN.
THE PREPARATION.
T HE territory now covered by the cities of Malden, Everett, and Melrose was originally a portion of the common lands per- taining to the settlement of Charlestown ; and it first appears under the name of Mystic Side in 1634, when a division was made of the uplands lying along the margin of the marshes of the North and South rivers. Other allotments were subsequently made, the largest and most important of which was in 1638, by which most of the land south of the Middlesex and Scadan Fells became subject to private ownership. Some settlements may have been made at an early date at Moulton's Island and Sweetser's Point; but there is no certain knowledge of an actual settlement until 1640, when several house- holders were mentioned and a ferry was established upon the Mystic.
Early in 1649, settlers having increased, a church was gathered, and an agreement for a separation was made with Charlestown, by which the territory known as Mystic Side was to become a distinct town, with the exception of that section which now forms the south- western portion of the present city of Everett, which remained with the parent town until 1726. This agreement was soon confirmed by the General Court ; and the following entries upon the records of the colony record the incorporation of the town of Malden : -
1649 :
L2 May.
MLdon.
] Upon the petition of Mistick side men, they are granted to be a distinct towne, & the name thereof to be called Mauldon."
" I. 1649: 11 May. Misticke named Maulden. 1
In answer to the petition of seu'll inhabitants of Misticke side, their request is graunted, viz., to be a distinct toune of themselves, & the name thereof to be Maulden. "
2
TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY
The final action of the court occurring on May 11, 1649, O.S., fixes the birthday of the town upon May 21, N.S. Our fathers of the eighteenth century had neither the time nor the means, had they possessed the desire, for local celebrations ; and the one hundredth and the one hundred and fiftieth anniversaries of the town passed without notice. In 1849, with more leisure and money and a grow- ing interest in matters of local history, the two hundredth anniversary was celebrated, May 23, with due observance and rejoicing. A record of this celebration, the precursor of the present volume, was issued under the title of The Bi-Centennial Book of Malden, in which may be found much that will interest and instruct the lover of the stories of the olden time.
The question of a celebration of the completion of a quarter- millennium had been discussed in a slight degree, but no general attention had been drawn towards the matter until the Hon. John E. Farnham, in his inaugural address as mayor of the city, January 3, 1898, presented it to the city council and the inhabitants in the following words : -
" In 1899, Malden will be entitled to celebrate the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of its incorporation as a town. Malden be- came a town in 1649, and a city in 1882. The town was incorporated under the statute passed in 1649, May 2d: 'Upon the petition of Mistickside men, they are granted to be a distinct towne, and the name thereof to be called Mauldon.'
" This is an event which few communities are privileged to com- memorate, and it should be fittingly celebrated. It may be best to take some action this year so that there shall be ample provision for so important an event."
The first action was taken by the Malden Historical Society, March 21, when a committee, consisting of Deloraine P. Corey, Arthur H. Wellman, and Frank E. Woodward, was appointed " to prepare in outline a plan for the proper observance of the two hun- dred and fiftieth anniversary of the incorporation of the town of Malden, and to present the same to the city government for its action thereon."
With the assistance of Mayor Farnham, who was earnest in the furtherance of the desires of the committee, the following order was prepared and introduced into the city council by Councilman J. Arthur Pierce.
IN COMMON COUNCIL. .
MALDEN, April 12, 1898.
Ordered, That a Committee to be composed of the Mayor, Chair- man of the Board of Aldermen, President of the Common Council,

IN THE CITY COUNCIL- BOARD OF TRADE
and one Alderman, to be named by the Mayor, and two members of the Common Council, to be named by the President of the Common Council, and eleven Citizens, to be named by the Mayor, be ap- pointed, to take into consideration the advisability of the celebration of the Two Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary of the incorporation of the town of Malden ; and, in case they deem it advisable to have such celebration, to suggest some organization for carrying out such cele- bration and to make such further recommendations pertinent to the matter, as may to them seem best, and report to the City Council.
Adopted in Common Council, April 12, 1898.
Adopted in Board of Aldermen, April 18, 1898.
Approved by his Honor, the Mayor, April 21, 1898.

TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY
The committees thus formed, with the addition of Aaron C. Dowse, chairman of the school board, and George E. Gay, superintendent of schools, held a meeting of conference, by the invitation of the mayor, at the city hall on the evening of May 20, at which Mayor Farnham presided and Alderman James O. Otis was chosen secretary. The meeting was one of enthusiasm ; but as there was no general knowl- edge of the proper scope of the intended celebration, no definite plan was presented. After an informal exchange of views a sub-com- mittee, consisting of Alfred E. Cox, Deloraine P. Corey, James F. Eaton, Phineas W. Sprague, and Joshua H. Millett, was appointed to consider the whole subject and to make such recommendations as might seem desirable and practicable.
The sub-committee was organized with Deloraine P. Corey as chair- man and Phineas W. Sprague as secretary. Mr. Eaton soon after resigned, and his place upon the committee was not filled. Many pro- tracted meetings were held, and the members of the committee labored earnestly to outline a plan which in its appropriate and varied features would contain matter which would appeal to all sections and classes. In the selection of committees care was used that all the many interests of the city might be recognized, and that all might feel a personal interest in the success of the celebration.
A thorough survey of the ground which was to be covered was not to be perfected in a few days ; and the work of the committee was not completed until July 11, when its report was presented to the joint committee and adopted by a unanimous vote. On the same evening the report was adopted by the city committee as its own report for transmission to the city council; and as such it was presented at a special meeting of the common council, July 12, and referred to the committee on finance. It was subsequently returned to the council, and the order which accompanied it was passed and approved by the mayor as Order No. 481.
This report, which was adopted without a change in any particular, furnished a broad plan of preparation, which was subsequently carried out in detail with admirable fidelity by the several committees which it created.
REPORT.
MALDEN, June 27, 1898.
To the committee appointed to take into consideration the matter of a proposed celebration of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the incorporation of Malden : -
Your committee, having been instructed to present a definite plan embodying suitable provisions for carrying into effect the second portion of the instructions given by the city government, viz. : to suggest some organization for carrying out such celebration, and to

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE
make such further recommendations pertinent to the matter as may seem best, hereby reports : -
Your committee has carefully gathered information from the pub- lished reports of similar celebrations held in other Massachusetts cities and towns and from other sources; and has considered the same in connection with our conditions. The results thus gained from the experience of others have been of much value and will materially aid the committee to which will be entrusted the execution of the plans which are proposed.
The inhabitants of Mystic Side were allowed to become a " dis- tinct town of themselves," May 11, 1649, O. S. The two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of this incorporation will fall upon May 21st, 1899 ; and it is recommended that the event be celebrated on the 22nd and 23rd days of May, 1899.
The subject in all its bearings having been considered, it is recommended that the celebration shall occupy two days, in order that the confusion and distraction arising from the crowding into one day of many events of interest may be avoided, and that the con- venience and enjoyment of all may be ensured. In this your com- mittee has been guided not only by the judgment of its own members, but by the experience of those cities and towns in which successful celebrations have taken place.
In pursuance of the duties imposed upon your committee, a pro- visional program has been adopted, fixing in a broad manner the events of each day, the details of which shall be arranged and per- fected by the executive committee mentioned in the accompanying order. Such a program, in its proper performance, will be dignified and worthy of the occasion and the city ; and it contains in itself such varied elements of interest as will appeal to all.
PROGRAM.
SUNDAY, May 21st : On the Sunday before the celebration, all the churches of the city are to be requested to hold memorial services, at which the pastors, or others, may deliver historical sermons or addresses, and such other exercises may be given as shall be appro- priate to the day and the occasion.
MONDAY, May 22nd : The day will be introduced by the ringing of bells and the firing of salutes.
During the forenoon, there will be the reception and entertain- ment of invited guests, who will receive the hospitality of the city and be taken to the several points of interest.
In the afternoon, the literary exercises will consist of a historical oration or address, and other literary and musical exercises. This
6
TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY
will be followed by a banquet, at which short addresses will be given by guests and others. The day will be closed by a promenade con- cert and ball.
During the day, athletic and field sports will take place at con- venient points, band concerts will be given, and children's entertain- ments will be provided.
TUESDAY, MAY 23rd : During the forenoon, athletic and field sports and children's entertainments may be continued, if found to be desirable.
The feature of the day will be a military and civic procession, in which the schools, organizations, trades, etc., shall have prominent parts.
In the evening, fireworks and illuminations, with band concerts, will close the celebration.
IN GENERAL : During the celebration, a loan exhibition should be held, at which articles connected with our town or state and national history, and other objects of historical or personal interest, may be shown.
Preparatory to the celebration, historic spots should be marked, either permanently, for the benefit of posterity, or temporarily.
After the celebration, a memorial volume should be prepared, con- taining an account of the proceedings of the several days, with the sermons, addresses, and other literary exercises, in full, and such other matter as may be found desirable.
Public buildings should be appropriately decked during the cele- bration and illuminated upon the evening of the last day ; and it is recommended that the citizens generally be requested to decorate their residences and places of business.
For the purpose of carrying into effect this proposed program, your committee offers for your consideration a general committee of two hundred citizens, organized into sub-committees, each having a distinct purpose, as set forth in the accompanying order.
In the furtherance of the purposes of this committee, there is herewith presented the draft of a proposed order for presentation to the city council, which has been drawn with the intent that the recommendations of this report may be effectually carried out ; and it is trusted that it will receive such consideration from you- and from the city government as will tend to make the celebration successful and worthy, in the fullest measure, of our predecessors and ourselves.
It is further recommended that the city of Everett and the town of Melrose be invited by action of the city government, or otherwise, to participate in the celebration of the birthday of our common mother, the old town of Malden.
7
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE
Your committee recommends that the sum of Ten Thousand Dollars be appropriated by the city council to meet the expenses of the celebration as proposed.
Respectfully submitted,
DELORAINE P. COREY. JOSHUA H. MILLETT. ALFRED E. Cox. PHINEAS W. SPRAGUE.
ORDER.
Ordered, That a general committee of two hundred persons, resi- dents of Malden, of which the mayor for the time being shall be chairman, consisting of the following named persons, be and hereby is appointed to make arrangements for and to take charge of the celebration of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the incor- poration of the town of Malden, to be held upon the twenty-second and twenty-third days of May, A.D. 1899, to be organized as follows : -
[Here the members of the general committee were specified and their position upon the several sub-committees fixed, the chairman of each committee being designated. Some changes subsequently oc- curred by resignations and otherwise. The organization of the committee as existing at the time of the celebration follows this order. ]
The executive committee shall have the direction of the several sub-committees of the general committee, shall determine and author- ize all their expenditures, and shall define their respective duties ; and it is hereby directed to appoint a reception committee of fifty men and twenty-five women, citizens of Malden, of which the Hon. Elisha S. Converse shall be chairman ; and it may fill such vacancies as may occur in the several sub-committees.
A majority of each sub-committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.
All bills of expenditures authorized shall be approved by the sub-committee making the same, and shall be certified by the finance committee, or a sub-committee thereof, duly authorized, and be sent to the city auditor for his action as provided by the city ordinances.
Nothing herein shall permit any committee to bind the city of Malden, by any agreement or contract involving the expenditure of money for the purposes of said celebration, unless the same shall have been authorized by vote of a majority of the executive committee ; and said executive committee shall not have power to confer such authority to such committee until an appropriation for the purposes of said celebration shall have been made by the city council.
