ANTIQUE AND ARTISTIC.
An Interesting Feature of Anniversary Week.
OPENING OF THE EXHIBITION IN HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING.
A feature of this anniversary week is the exhibition of ancient articles and works of art in the High School building.
There were two departments, one devoted to works of art and similar articles in the large hall. The other, named the " Quaint Corner," or "Century Room," a room filled with old-fashioned furniture.
A Times representative spent an hour there yesterday afternoon, and something of what he saw is told here. In one show case are a number of ancient documents, among them being copies of several documents relative to Thacher's Island lighthouses, copied from the originals in the archives at the State House in Boston. Three of them are reproduced here as follows :

The art department contains many finely executed works, including numerous family portraits. A painting of Eastern Point before the lighthouse was built shows the ship "Canton " in the foreground. It was the work of Capt. John Haskell of that ship.
A piece of room paper from the walls of the old Ellery House, the first wall paper used in Gloucester, is exhibited.
Among the many documents is a warrant from King George's treasurer and receiver general in Boston, issued in July, 1748, ordering " the Select-Men or Assessors of the Town or District of Gloucester *
* in his Majesty's Name to will and require you to assess the Sum of One Thousand One Hundred Eighty three pounds three shillings & three pence."

Then there is a declaration signed in 1776 by some fifty Gloucester men, that " We the Subscribers, Do each of us fervently for ourselves, profess, and declare, before God and the World that we believe the War, Resistance and Opposition in which the United American Colonies are now engaged, against the Fleets and Armies of Great-Britain, is on the Part of said Colonies, just and necessary," etc.
A certificate of the Gloucester Fire department bearing a picture of an ancient hand engine, "Certifies that William Ellery is a member of Engine Company No. 4," is dated April 25, 1832, and is signed by Eli Stacy, engineer.
Harrison Ellery of Boston, a native of Gloucester, has on exhibi- tion a collection of the Ellery family portraits and coat of arms.
George Parsons contributes a variety of china dishes, all from seventy-five to one hundred years old and decorated in old fashioned style. On some plates are houses in Boston and New York.
An interesting bit of fancy work is a frame inscribed in letters worked in silk, " Hannah Masters Her Sampler May 8 1768."
A pitcher that was once, two hundred years ago, the property of George Riggs, son of Thomas Riggs, one of the first settlers of River- dale, is shown by Mrs. E. B. Center.
On one table is a collection of blue china of various kinds, all over a century old. One plate bears a reproduction of the State House at Boston, as it appeared at that time.
Another piece of family work which shows evidence of much labor and painstaking is a Clark family tree worked in silk on canvas in 1832 by Mary B. Clark, mother of Mayor Andrews, and sister of Col. John Clark.
A glance at a view of Gloucester in 1817 shows how the city has grown and improved since that time.
An impression of the great seal of the United States, something seldom seen, is of interest. So is one of George Washington's dinner plates in the same case.
A table at the front of the hall shows a collection of military relics. One is a water bucket of the old Gloucester Artillery, inscribed, " G. A. - 1787." A soldier's cap worn by Henry White in the Revolution and perforated by bullet holes ; a plume worn in the war of 1812; sword worn by Capt. Nathaniel Warner, Commander of the Gloucester company at Bunker Hill; drum used by Daniel Robinson in 1812, canteen carried by Capt. Edward Staten of the old Gloucester Artillery ; razor taken from the pocket of a dead British soldier during the Revolution ; razor used by George Washington, - are among the things shown on this table.

TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTIETHI ANNIVERSARY
There is a memento of the great fire in 1864, in the shape of a sword which was carried in the Rebellion by Capt. David W. Low, and which was taken from the ruins of the Low mansion, which stood opposite the post office on the site of the First National Bank block.
A seven-dollar bill, a sample of the first money issued in America, about one hundred and seventeen years ago.
A copy of the first directory published in Gloucester, by Procter Bros., in 1860, a small book about 6 x 4 inches, with one hundred and ninety-two pages, is worth more than.a glance. It would be interest- ing, had we space, to give a comparison between the names within its covers and those of the most recent edition.
A sun dial of slate, one hundred and fifty years old, loaned by Fred. W. Tibbets, is claimed to be as capable of accurate time as ever. Another thing in the time line is a watch about the size of a small clock, which the Duke of Buckingham gave to Thomas Spraet, Dean of Westminster, in 1689.
Over in the " Quaint Corner " is material for more than an hour's observation. On a secretary used by Rev. Thomas Jones, second pastor of the Universalist church, which he brought over from England in 1796, are two pairs of slippers such as were worn by belles of a cen- tury and more ago, with heels some three inches high and less than an inch in diameter.
Two candle-sticks which were once used by William Tuck, second collector for the district of Gloucester in 1796, rest near a spinnet which was brought from England a century or so ago for Mrs. Mary H. Gilbert, when she was a little girl. One can get music from it if the right keys are struck.
An umbrella frame once used to keep the rain from the head of Thomas Riggs, who was town clerk for fifty-one years and died in 1720, stands in a chair one hundred years old, beside the first parasol ever carried in Rockport, which still has its original green silk cover.
A tithing pole used in the old church on Meeting House green looks as if it might have done good service in its day.
A card on the back of a large red arm chair states that it was used one hundred and twenty-four years ago by Joseph Proeter, attached to a pair of shafts, in which to ride about town. He was the first member of the Procter family to settle in Gloucester.
A wooden cradle, roughly made of boards, has rocked babies to sleep since one hundred and seventy-four years ago, and is capable of more work yet.

A high post bed from the old Gilbert House occupies a conspicu- ous position. Near by are spinning wheels, rush bottom chairs, etc. In one corner is a very old bureau and severaltables.
On and hung about the walls are several calashes, or a kind of bonnet commonly worn half a century ago. "It resembles a rag bag," said one lady visitor, and it did. Near by, more articles of old style furniture, wearing apparel, such as hoop skirts, corsets, and bustles.
On the platform is a reproduction of Front street as it looked before the fire of 1830. The houses are represented by faithfully executed models.
There are hundreds of other interesting things on exhibition and every resident of Gloucester and visitor will be repaid by a visit to the display before it closes.
The catalogue published by the committee is as follows : -
