raised by private subscription, and a like amoma was appropri- ated by the City Government, which brought to the Executive Committee a som of $15,000 to defray the necessary expenses of the celebration.


The Invitation Committee issued about fifteen hundred invitations to distinguished persons all over the country, including government officials high in authority, and sons and daughters of Haverhill now resident in other places.


A most pleasing feature of the occasion was the commn- nication between this city and Haverhill, England, between which: town and her American daughter the most cordial relations have for a long time existed.


Nagyon Burnham invited Hon. Daniel Garten, Jr., Chair- man of the Local Brand of Haverhill, England to be present at the anniversary by the following letter : --

To THE CHAIRMAN OF THE LOCAL BOARD.


Haverhill, England. Kir, -


In the year 1610, Rev. John Ward, born in Haver- hill, England, penetrated with a small band of followers into what was then a wilderness, and formed a little settle- ment on the banks of the Merrimae River, in what is now Bisex County, Massachusetts. In honey of their devout pas- tor they named the settlement Haverhill for his home in England.

HAVERHILL, WIRPRACHUSET.


This was, for a long time. a frontier town and subject to the incursions of the savages, and its inhabitants suffered more than the usual hardships of such thues and conditions.


Its history has been eventful, and though it has been, from time to time, stricken with great misfortunes, it has prospered, until today it contains twenty-six or seven thou- sand inhabitants, and its valuation is between seventeen and eighteen millions. It also contains educational institutions, chances, and benevolent and social organizations equal to my in the country.


This year, on the second and third of July we propose to have a celebration of the quarter-milicanial anniversary of the settlement of our city, and recognizing the ties that bind us to your own amient town, and feeling that it would afford real pleasure not only to myself but to the people whom I have the honor to represent to have Old Haverhill ovu du ara represented on that occasion, I take great pleas- me in extending to you the freedom of the city during that event. and in inviting yourself and lady to be the guests of the city on that occasion.


Hoping that you will favor us with your presence, and that we shall receive an early acceptance of the formal in- vitation that will be forwarded to your louer it. a few days,


I am yours truly, THOMAS E. BURNHAM.
