The Hall was beautifully decorated with streamers, flags and lace draperies, the front of the stage being filled with a terrace of plants and flowers behind which Reeves' full orchestra was stationed. The invited guests were es- corted from the Reception at the City Hall by the reception committee, and upon their arrival the Ball was opened by a Grand March led by His Honor Mayor Hall and Lady, fol-

lowed by more than two hundred couples among whom were many of our most prominent citizens who had for years been absent from gatherings of this character, but who on this occasion united with the younger element in doing honor to our celebration. The electric lights shining through the many hued gauze canopy bringing out the rich coloring of the varied decorations and reflected from the glittering emblems and devices with which the walls were hung, the inspiring strains of the music and the elegant toilets of the ladies all combined to make the scene one long to be remembered, and when the festivities ended, at a late hour, it brought to a close one of the most successful features of the celebration.
SECOND DAY OF THE CELEBRATION.
THE GRAND PROCESSION.
The great feature of the second day's observances was the Grand Procession.
Much apprehension was felt in the morning lest the weather should prove unfavorable. But the threatening as- pect of the clouds soon vanished and the day proved all that could have been desired.
Under the efficient management and control of the Chief Marshal every detail of the vast parade had been determined, and so complete were the arrangements, and so faithfully were they carried out by his Aids and the Assisant Marshals and Aids of the different divisions, that the procession moved promptly at eleven o'clock, the appointed time. The streets were packed with spectators, and every window, balcony and piazza was crowded with citizens or guests who heartily cheered the numerous beautiful floats, tableaux and trade representations. The decorations displayed were by far the most extensive, artistic and elaborate the city had ever seen. On the route of the procession the decorations were of course the most general and profuse, but many even of the dwell- ings and other buildings not so favored were gaily decked out in holiday attire. The City Hall, county and district court houses, registry buildings, public library and police station were artistically draped and festooned in handsome

designs. The City Hotel was one of the first buildings to be decorated, and was surely one of the finest.
An arch of fine proportions spanned Main street near City Square, gracefully decorated with evergreens and flags, and bearing on its eastern face the legend-
"'39. 250th Anniversary of Taunton. '89," and on its western face the legend-
"'39. Sons and Daughters Welcome Home. '89."
On the westerly side of the Common raised seats were provided, and there during the parade were assembled three hundred boys and girls of the grammar schools under the charge of Mr. Fred. W. Howes, the music teacher. They greeted the procession as it passed with patriotic songs, fluttering handkerchiefs, clapping hands and enthusiastic cheers. Nothing on the route of the procession was so thrill- ing and beautiful. The eyes of many glistened with tears while their faces beamed with smiles, as they passed this blooming array of the coming generation.
No mere enumeration of the varied representations of our arts, industries, manufactures and trades, which so largely constituted the attractive features of the procession, can give an adequate idea of the fulness, completeness and magnifi- cence of the display as a whole. Never before did our own citizens behold such a demonstration of our broadly diversi- fied industries, and of the degree of excellence attained in them. For one day we could well afford to be proud of our progress and attainments.
The towns of Norton, Dighton, Raynham and Berkley, daughters of Ancient Taunton, added features of great his- toric interest to the parade by their fine displays. Much labor and thought had evidently been bestowed upon the details of their representations by the town committees, for which they are deserving of very great credit.

THE GRAND PROCESSION.
The procession completed its march and reached City Hall on its return at about three o'clock, where it passed in review before the Chief Marshal and his Aids, Distinguished Guests, His Honor the Mayor and the City Government ; after which the several Divisions as they arrived at points previously designated, left the procession and were dismissed in perfect order, so that all confusion was avoided.
Nothing occurred on the route to mar the complete suc- cess and enjoyment of the parade.
The immense crowds that thronged City Square were entertained in the afternoon by the playing of the bands, which were stationed at different points on the Common.
The Celebration closed with a grand display of fire works in the evening at Agricultural Park, furnished by Hyde & Co., of Boston, who superintended the exhibition under the general direction of the committee on fire works. In addition to the usual display of rockets, Roman candles, mines, &c., the following set pieces were presented :
WELCOME. ETOILE MAGIQUE. WHEEL OF PROMETHEUS. CROWN WITH DATE 1639. 2 FLAGS 1889. 5 CONSTELLATION.
BUYING THE LAND,-INDIAN FIGURES WITH ELIZABETH POLE. PORTRAIT GEN'L COBB, AND MOTTO. POLKA PYRAMID. FALLS OF NIAGARA. CITY SEAL.
It was an extremely satisfactory exhibition and reflected great credit upon the committee having the matter in charge.

QUARTER MILLENNIAL CELEBRATION.
No satisfactory estimate can be made of the number of people who were present to witness this closing performance. It has been variously placed at from ten to twenty thousand, and even more.
But when the brilliant display was over, the vast assem- blage dispersed quietly and peaceably, as became the descend- ants and successors of the venerated colonists of 1639.
And so ended our Quarter Millennial Celebration.

DONATION AND LOAN EXHIBITION
IN HISTORICAL HALL.
At a meeting of the Joint Committee of the 250th An- niversary Celebration, in City Hall, Feb. 23d, 1889, a vote was passed, that Historical Hall be opened for the reception of portraits, articles and relics of historic interest, for the entertainment of visitors during the days and evenings of the anniversary, and the following Committee was chosen to carry the vote into effect, viz : Rev. S. Hopkins Emery, Mr. J. F. Montgomery, Mrs. R. Henry Hall, Mrs. S. R. Town- send, Mrs. H. M. Lovering, Mrs. J. E. Sanford, Mrs. Fred- erick Mason, Mrs. Thompson Newbury, Mrs. E. T. Jackson, Mrs. George Brabrook, Mrs. N. E. Baylies, Mrs. Chas. L. Lovering, Mrs. Walter J. Clemson, Miss Adeline S. Baylies, Miss Sarah B. Williams, and two ladies from each of the six towns of ancient Taunton, and John W. D. Hall, Chairman.
In compliance with the foregoing action the chairman called a meeting of the Committee in Historical Hall, May 6th, for conference, relative to obtaining portraits, ancient relics, &c., for exhibition during the contemplated celebra- tion, June 4th and 5th.
At this meeting Taunton, Norton, Dighton, Easton, Raynham and Berkley were represented by ladies enthusi-

astic in the cause of the celebration. The proceedings were introduced in a brief address by the chairman :
Ladies and Gentlemen : We are called together for a pleasing, not an irksome duty. Men have been making prepa- rations for months to inaugurate a celebration worthy the occasion-the 250th natal day of our ancient pilgrim town.
Now the women propose to take action in a modest, less conspicuous way to honor the day and entertain visitors who may gather here during the anniversary, and wish to enjoy a quiet rest from the jostling crowd out of doors, during the day and evening. This hall was appropriately selected for that purpose. Three women donated $500 each for mem- bership to consummate the enterprise, by securing the hall for memorial and historical purposes. This thoughtful gen- erosity of women is of rare record.
As this hall is forever dedicated to the above objects, it is proposed, with the advice and co-operation of women, to secure the donation or loan of memorial portraits to be placed upon these walls, of revered men and women who have passed away, that they may look down upon us with favor and bene- diction. Three of our lady members have recently passed away and we hope to have their portraits, in memoriam.
Also, rare memorial relics, which have been carefully laid away for years, are solicited for the same historic, in- structive purpose. All donations and loans will be duly re- corded and safely cared for. This is a brief key note to our proceedings. Rev. S. H. Emery, was elected Secretary.
A committee was appointed, consisting of two ladies from each ward and two from each town, to solicit donations and loans, and they proceeded to work with alacrity, worthy the contemplated object.
Ample arrangements were made in due season for the contemplated exhibition, and on the Ist and 3d of June the
