PREFACE.
This memorial volume has been compiled in obedience to a vote of the Executive Committee of the Quarter Millenial Celebration of the towns of Sandwich and Bourne, at a meeting held October 5, 1889.
I regret very much that the work was not completed earlier. Had I known at the time of the celebration, that the responsibility of compiling these proceedings, was to devolve upon me, a steno- grapher would have been present and reported the exercises verba- tim, thus enabling me to have presented the book to you some months ago. Much time has been consumed in getting the material together. It was late in March before a greater portion of the man- uscript reached me, and other unavoidable delays prevented me from issuing the volume sooner.
The account of the proceedings contained herein is authentic in every particular, and it has been my purpose to present all the de- tails of this most successful celebration in a manner which will not only be interesting, but valuable to all Sandwich folk, in years to come, wherever they may reside, and I trust the volume will meet with their approval.
AMBROSE E. PRATT.

The following gentlemen constituted that committee :- I. T. Jones, H. G. O. Ellis, E. S. Whittemore, Dr. J. E. Pratt, George T. Mclaughlin. It was also
VOTED : That the above committee be instructed to secure such special legislation as may be required to enable the town to legally appropriate money for the celebration.

In March, 1889 the committee having in charge, the pro- posed celebration, read its report, which was accepted, and it was
VOTED : That the sum of $600 be raised and appropriated, and if there remains an unexpended balance, it should be returned to the treasury of the town.

L. Southack, J. E. Pratt, E. S. Whittemore, F. S. Pope and James Shev- lin, to report a committee of forty to this meeting, to consti- tute the celebration committee.

VOTED : That the executive committee be requested to confer with committees of Bourne and Barnstable, relative to a union of the towns in the coming celebration.
The executive committee met May 4, 1889. Mr. James Shevlin acting as chairman pro tem. Remarks were made by Messrs. Shevlin, Thompson, Boyden, and Wright (and W. A. Nye, of Bourne, who, being present, was invited to act at this meeting,) as to the propriety and advisability of hav- ing a celebration, Barnstable to the contrary notwithstand- ing, which culminated in the following :

VOTED : That we recommend to the joint committee that W. A. Nye be made chief marshal, and Charles Dillingham, president of the day.
Messrs. Jones, Thompson, Shevlin, Wright, Pope and Pratt met the committee of Bourne at Buzzards Bay, on the
10
morning of May 10. The joint committee was organized by choice of I. T. Jones, President and W. A. Nye, Secretary.
The plan of organization reported from executive com- mittee of Sandwich was adopted without question. Consid- erable time was spent in discussion, as to the relation of the town of Bourne in the matter of her appropriation, and no business of importance was transacted.
The committee of forty held a meeting at the Town Hall, July 18, 1889, called in anticipation of a town meeting, to be held the 23d, on petition of citizens opposed to the celebration for certain reasons. The chairman, Mr. Jones, stated the present status as to finances, showing a very grat- ifying exhibit.
VOTED. That we recommend to the town that the plans for a celebration be prosecuted.
Chas. Dillingham, chairman of the Board of Selectmen, by request, stated that the increase in taxation this year, by reason of the $600 appropriated at the March meeting, would be 40 cents per $1000.
At this meeting, Mr. E. F. Elwell, a summer resident, was made a member of the committee.

VOTED : That A. L. Aldrich, W. A. Nye, I. N. Keith and Na- than Nye of Bourne, be invited to participate in the next general meeting.

VOTED : That W. E. Boyden be appointed treasurer of the Centennial committee.
A convention of all the committees was held at the Town Hall, July 26, 1889, with I. T. Jones as chairman.

11
VOTED : That the price of dinner tickets do not exceed 50 cents per plate, and that the committee guarantee to the caterer, 1000 plates.
It was suggested that inasmuch as it is desirable that all possible benefits arising from the celebration should ac- crue to the towns of Sandwich and Bourne, that the sub- committees should procure, as far as possible, their equip- ments, appliances, facilities, etc., in these towns, and that or- ders and contracts should not be placed elsewhere, except in the interest of real economy.
On the evening of August 14, 1889, the executive com- mittee met the chairman of the various sub-committees for conference, vice chairman Shevlin, presiding. The sub-com- mittees reported progress through their chairmen, all of whom were present.

SANDWICH, August 26, 1889.
Information received by the committee, indicates that the resources of the town will be taxed to their full capacity, to provide lodging for our visitors, on the night of Sept. 3. In consideration of the fact that the generosity of friends in Bourne, and abroad, has made the success of this celebration possible, it is hoped by the committee that our resident house-
12
holders will be considerate enough to place at their disposal, all their spare rooms, at a fair price. It is, of course, under- stood and expected that no person will seek to use an occa- sion of such public interest for the furtherance of extortion- ate private speculation.
Any person having rooms to spare will please report to W. L. Nye, chairman of entertainment committee.
PER ORDER OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
The executive committee met Oct. 5, with the president in the chair. The treasurer reported $50 in the treasury, with some due, and it was voted that the treasurer collect the sums due the committee.
VOTED : That Rev. N. H. Chamberlain be paid ; that the secretary write letters of thanks to Messrs. Long, Swift, Kendrick, Nye, Pope, and Miss Conroy.
The subject of publishing the proceedings of the anniver- sary was discussed and resulted in the following :-
Resolved: That Ambrose E. Pratt be authorized to com- pile and publish the official memorial volume with the approval of the executive committee.
The final meeting of the executive committee was held on the evening of March 13, called to order by I. T. Jones, Chairman, who read the statement prepared by the treasurer, to be presented to the town at its annual meeting. The re- port showed one cent in the hands of the treasurer, with all bills paid. It was voted that a copy of the report be trans- mitted to the town of Bourne.
It was also voted that C. M. Thompson and J. E. Pratt be a committee to read the manuscript of the memorial vol- ume, revising it if necessary, and that their action will be a sufficient approval of the executive committee.
At this meeting it was voted that the services and labors of the officers of this committee deserve recognition from the committee and the people of Sandwich. Mr. James Shevlin presented the following :
Resolved : That the thanks of the people of Sandwich are due to chairman I. T. Jones, for the energy displayed by him in enlisting the sympathy of our non-resident townsmen with the celebration, thereby securing the financial assistance that assured success.
13
Resolved : That secretary John E. Pratt merits the gratitude of his fellow-citizens, for the faithfulness with which the laborious duties assigned him were conducted.
Resolved: That we tender the thanks of the people of Sand- wich to treasurer Willard E. Boyden, for the admirable manner in which he managed the finances of the celebration.
THE CELEBRATION.
The 250th anniversary celebration of this old Cape Cod town and her recent offspring, the new town of Bourne, opened at sunrise with the ringing of bells from churches, factory and academy. Every Sandwich man turned an anx- ious look heavenwards with the first opening of his eyes, but nobody's enthusiasm was dampened in the least, for the weather was most propitious. At an early hour the streets were alive with sightseers and a most brilliant spectacle did the old town present.
No such attempt at public demonstration was ever be- fore made here. From nearly every dwelling, store and public building, especially on the line of march. drooped the nation- al colors, arranged in many unique and artistic combinations which the taste of the decorator suggested. Shields, stars and stripes and mottoes, were fantastically interwoven amid the bewilderment of color and bunting, while across Jarves street near the Old Colony station, was stretched a huge triumphal arch with " Welcome " over the centre, be- neath which the procession passed.
Sandwich's sons and daughters, long exiled from the pa- ternal hearthstone, returned by every train and renewed old memories and pleasant acquaintances, and there were also within her gates, guests who are always welcome, for the trains during that, and the day previous landed a host of liv- ing humanity.
15
The early morning trains from Provincetown and way stations were crowded, notwithstanding extra cars had been added. The same could be said of the special train from New Bedford, Woods Holl and intermediate stations. The invited guests and speakers ( with the exception of Hon. John D. Long, who came by the regular) arrived on the special train, as did many others, which left Boston at 7.30 A. M., reaching Sandwich about 10.30. When all the trains had ar- rived the streets of old Sandwich were completely thronged with people, and probably the town never had so many per- sons within its borders on a single day. The streets were in excellent condition as usual, thus affording a splendid oppor- tunity for both civil and military organizations to do good marching; and with the music of five brass bands, the town cast aside its quiet attitude of the past, awakened, and breathed new life, as it were, and rejoiced in its fifth grand jubilee.
The special train from Provincetown and way stations brought Frank D. Hammond Post, No. 141, G. A. R., of Harwich, J. C. Freeman Post, No. 53, G. A. R., of Province- town, as guests of Charles Chipman Post, No. 132, G. A. R., of Sandwich, Adams Lodge of Masons, of Wellfleet, and visiting brethren of other lodges in the 28th Masonic dis- trict, as guests of De Witt Clinton Lodge, of Sandwich. The Standish Guards, Plymouth Lodge of Masons and Ply- mouth band, came the entire distance, eighteen miles, by car- riages, arriving soon after nine o'clock, and during their stay were entertained by De Witt Clinton Lodge.
THE PROCESSION.
Early in the day preparation began for the grand parade, which was looked forward to by the throng assembled, with as much interest, perhaps, as any event of the day. In fact, it was most creditable, and several times during the march the attractive features were applauded again and again. The procession was made up as follows :
Chief Marshall -- William A. Nye.
Chief of Staff - James Shevlin ; Adjutant -Charles M. Thompson.

17
the following route: From Old Colony Station up Jarves street to Main to opposite the residence of Joshua T. Faunce ; countermarch on Main to Grove, to residence of Ezra T. Pope; countermarch on Grove to Water, School, Main, to residence of Leander Chamberlain ; countermarch on Main to Liberty, Factory, Freeman, State, Church, Jarves, Main, to School, where the parade was dismissed at the Casino at 1.30 P. M.
THE DECORATIONS.
All of the citizens of the old town entered fully into the spirit of the occasion and joined heartily in the display. It will, of course, be impossible to describe the numerous pri- vate decorations ; nor is it proper to select any for special commendation, where all were so good. It was frequently remarked, however, both by strangers and invited guests, that the decorations were characterized by novelty in color, and excellent taste in arrangement. This was largely due to the committee on decorations, who were liberal with their advice and aid, together with the artistic work done by Masten & Wells, of Boston, who had established head- quarters here.
The large evergreen arch across Jarves street, near the depot, the gift of Mr. Charles H. Nye, of Hyannis, Division Superintendent of the Old Colony Railroad, was exceedingly creditable to him, and to the committee having in charge its decoration.
All the decorations were elaborate, and those of historic interest especially noticeable. Postoffice square was proba- bly the most elaborate of any. From the large elm tree, planted years ago, there were festooned flags to all sides of Jarves and Main streets. At the Jarves street entrance to the square, coming from the depot was the motto :
Welcome to our Sons and Daughters.
On the easterly entrance :
Thankful for the Past, Hopeful for the Future.
18
And on the westerly side :
250th Anniversary of the Settlement.
At the old Cobb house on Main street was prettily arranged :
Sandwich. 1889. Shawme, 1639.
The Unitarian church came in for its full share of inter- est and attention, by its decorations and the motto over the main entrance :
1638. First Church. 1889.
At C. E. Pope's was :
Home of the Popes for Five Generations.
At E. S. Whittemore's, a large shield was arrayed over the front entrance bearing :
1690.
