It was near ten o'clock when the dancing began, and it was kept up until about one o'clock. Half a thousand dancers danced un- crowded on the spacious floor. Many numbers were encored. To speak of the costumes were a long task. Our wondering, sober- minded spectator felt his head swim. Before him floated and whirled fair women and devoted cavaliers clad in such wise as he had never even pictured in his fancy. The socially elect of not only Malden, but of many other towns and cities were present. The committee was aided by the following named gentlemen : -

During the dancing, there was served in the anteroom, in Dill's finest style, a lunch such as our unsophisticated spectator had never seen or heard of in his humble lifetime. It achieved an instant and ardent popularity that was alone a sufficient tribute to its merits.
When our pilgrim at last came out into the starlight, which was already trembling with the first suggestion of dawn, it was evident that he was in deep meditation. Slowly and thoughtfully he wended his way back to the Bell Rock Cemetery. So changed, so amplified, so complicated, was his thought! What vaster changes in social spheres will the next quarter-century see? As he disappeared, the last belated carriages were slowly wending homeward, and the great social event of the celebration had passed. .

EXERCISES OF TUESDAY.
T UESDAY opened upon an ideal day for the events of the cele- bration, nor could the most exacting mind have wished for a milder air or a clearer sky. Like Monday, it was welcomed by salutes of bombs and bells, and later by crowds that gathered more quickly and in denser bodies than on the preceding day. From all directions, by steam cars and electrics, by barges and wagons, by bicycles and on foot, throngs of old and young, of all sorts and conditions, poured into the streets, moving towards the Western Division station, where the governor was to arrive, or towards Highland Avenue, where the several divisions of the parade were forming. Later, the sidewalks and at some points the roadways were filled with eager spectators ; while all along the route, piazzas, and windows, and sometimes the roofs, were filled with more quiet, but as impatiently expectant, forms. Complimentary to the ladies of Malden and their visitors was the report of a representative of the Boston press, that "every other person was a pretty girl."
Special trains were run on the Western Division of the Boston and Maine railroad as often as they were needed, and it is estimated that sixty thousand people were handled at that station alone; while the electric lines, in all directions, were running their cars continuously.
There was enough to interest and amuse the people through all the hours of waiting. Military and civic organizations, galloping troopers, trades displays, and all the picturesque elements of a parade, moving to their positions in the line, attracted attention and drew the crowds from point to point as they passed.
A pretty sight, which was witnessed by those who were in the vicinity of the Anniversary Building at nine o'clock, was the flight of about three hundred homing pigeons, which had been brought from all parts of the state under the direction of the pigeon fanciers' clubs of the city. As they circled around the building preparatory to taking their homeward flights, they received the applause of the multitude and were soon after out of sight.
The governor arrived at the station on Summer Street at 10.40, and was received by the mayor and other officials in the presence of a
238
TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY
concourse of people that filled all the available space in the neighbor- hood. Entering his carriage, which was drawn by four white horses, he was taken to his place in the line, which was awaiting him on Highland Avenue; and the spectators scattered to secure more advantageous positions for further sight-seeing.
The parade was witnessed by crowds along its entire route. An official stand had been erected on the north side of the First Parish Church, with seats for eight hundred and fifty persons; and another on the south side of the city hall, with a capacity of one hundred and twenty-five persons, was reserved for the governor and other guests during the review which closed the parade. Numerous private ob- servation-stands were placed in advantageous positions along the line of march.
Photographers, professional and amateur, were busy in all parts of the city ; and a biographi wagon from Keith's Theatre, Boston, was stationed in Central Square and obtained a continuous picture of the parade as it passed.
On Clifton Street, a band of children bore a banner inviting the paraders to the three hundredth anniversary : " We will welcome you fifty years from now."
At the Faulkner School on Salem Street about four hundred chil- dren were gathered, who sang patriotic songs as the procession passed.
The partial collapse of an observation-stand on Washington Street was magnified by exaggerated rumors and excited much sympathy, far and near, as it was reported in the evening papers ; but the affair was a slight one and no great damage was done. Lieutenant Lovett, of the Signal Corps, was injured by the fall of his horse on Cross Street, and was taken away in an ambulance. Otherwise, the few accidents which occurred were trivial ; and the order which prevailed at all points during the day was the occasion of much comment.
At the close of the review in Central Square, the people who had gathered there joined those who had thronged along the route of the parade, and sought for rest and refreshment. Open houses in all parts of the city was the rule, and there were few exceptions. Liberal entertainment was offered to all who came. Many who were without acquaintance in the city found ample provision in the restaurants and lunch-rooms, or bought sandwiches and other lighit refreshments of the basket men and at the booths which were frequent along the prin- cipal streets. Others camped upon the lawns around the public buildings, as the public library and the high school, and ate their simple meals from baskets and paper bags in true picnic fashion.
The First Corps Cadets dined at the Enterprise Club on Marcus Terrace ; and the other military organizations were entertained at the Cochrane mill building on Barrett Street, where covers for one
239
THE PARADE
thousand were laid. The lodges of Odd Fellows, the Knights of Pythias, the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the Massachusetts Catholic Order of Foresters, the Knights of Malta, and other associations attended faithfully to the comfort of their visiting brethren at their several rooms ; and the Malden firemen banqueted their guests, the firemen of Melrose, Everett, and elsewhere, at Marie Hall on Pleasant Street. During the celebration, the Malden Club and the Kernwood Club exercised to its fullest extent the graceful hospitality which their members understand so well.
Later, the First Regiment Heavy Artillery, Colonel Pfaff, had a dress parade and was reviewed by Governor Wolcott near the Fells station in the presence of nearly ten thousand people.
The closing events of the day and the celebration are related else- where.
THE MILITARY AND CIVIC PARADE.
THE committee on the military and civic parade held its first meeting on the evening of September 28, 1898, at which time the chairman, Col. Harry E. Converse, was elected chief marshal. At this meet- ing, a general plan was considered ; and, later, division marshals were appointed and the more technical arrangements of the parade were settled.
The varied character of the elements of which the line was to be composed entailed a large amount of detail work, which was some- times perplexing ; but difficulties disappeared before the readiness and spirit with which the members of the committee performed their duties. The chairman of the committee in his report says : " At all times the utmost harmony prevailed, and the general arrangements of the parade were planned and carried out with an entire absence of friction among the members." It may be added that this statement may well apply, in general, to all the committees. To this unanimity of feeling and action much of the success which attended the celebration may be ascribed.
The committee was fortunate in obtaining the presence of several bodies of soldiery, which added to the interest of the parade and ren- dered the military portion of it the most brilliant that has ever been seen here. It was hoped that the Fifth Regiment, M.V.M., of which the Malden company forms a part, would be enabled to come to Malden ; but as it was not mustered out of the service of the United States until March 31, it was found impossible to uniform and equip it in season. The most that could be done was to equip the Malden company, which was in position in the parade.

TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY
Troop F, Third Cavalry, U. S. A., Capt. George E. Dodd, was here by invitation, as is elsewhere stated, and was given a place as special escort to the chief marshal, in which duty it was assisted by Company L [Malden Rifles], Fifth Regiment, M. V. M., Capt. Frank F. Cutting. Other visiting organizations were the First Regiment Heavy Artillery, Col. Charles Pfaff, the First Battalion Cavalry, Major William A. Perrins, and the Signal Corps, First Brigade, First- Lieut. George E. Lovett. The First Corps Cadets, Major Andrew Robeson commanding, at the head of the second division, escorted His Excellency the Governor, and other invited guests.
The headquarters of the chief marshal were established at ten o'clock on the morning of the parade at the intersection of Highland Avenue and Thatcher Street, the first division forming south of that position on Highland Avenue. The other divisions formed on the lateral streets, except the second division, which, forming on Summer Street, received the governor and other invited guests and joined the line by the way of Pleasant, Russell, and Adams Streets.
Military officers parading on the staff of the chief marshal wore full-dress uniform with riding-boots and gauntlets. Military officers parading as marshals of divisions, or on the staffs of division marshals, appeared in fatigue dress, with riding-boots and gauntlets. The hono- rary staff of the chief marshal wore black silk hats, black cut-away coats, white trousers, black riding-boots or leggins, and white gloves.
Upon the arrival of the governor, the line moved at eleven o'clock, at a signal of three blows upon the fire alarm, over the following named streets : Highland Avenue, Maple, Dexter, Clifton, Summer, Moun- tain Avenue, Washington, Pleasant, Salem, Maplewood, Eastern Avenue, Bryant, Cross, Hancock, Appleton, and Main Streets to Central Square.
On the arrival of the head of the column at the corner of Main Street and Eastern Avenue, a halt was made, and the second division, leaving the line, marched to Central Square, where the invited guests took seats on the stand at the city hall in order that His Excellency Governor Wolcott might review the parade. The review at this point began shortly after one o'clock and continued about two hours.
The arrangements of the police were most excellent along the whole line, and at the reviewing point the streets were well cleared, and the several divisions were promptly and systematically disbanded.
