Wednesday, July 29th, was set aside as Early Settlers' Day, and was mainly devoted to the exercises conducted by the Early Settlers' Association of Cuyahoga County. At 9.30 a. m., the members of this great body, that has done so much for the preservation of historical informa- tion concerning this portion of the West, gathered in Army and Navy Hall, for their annual meeting. The exercises opened with prayer, by Rev. Lathrop Cooley, chaplain of the Association, followed by a song by the Arion Quartet. Hon. A. J. Williams, chairman of the executive committee, submitted his annual report. He read also the report that had been prepared by Solon Bur- gess, the treasurer. On motion of General James Bar- nett, the officers who had served during the past year were re-elected, as follows: President, Richard C. Par- sons; Vice-Presidents, Mrs. Josiah A. Harris, George F. Marshall; Secretary, Henry C. Hawkins; Treasurer, Solon Burgess; Chaplain, Rev. Lathrop Cooley; Marshal, Hiram M. Addison. The annual address of President Parsons was then listened to. He briefly sketched the history of

Ohio, and the Western Reserve, and paid an eloquent tribute to the character of the men by whom they were peopled. When he had concluded, Hon. John C. Covert was introduced, as the author of that resolution, back in 1893, that was the first public, official suggestion, of this Centennial celebration, of 1896.
Mr. Covert *9 related many interesting events connected with the foundation and settlement of Cleveland, and, in conclusion, paid a warm tribute to those who came into the wilderness, to build a commonwealth, and make their homes. " These early settlers were, as a rule," said he, " men of sturdy patriotism, and broad intelligence. Their principles, like some of their houses, survive them. When all material objects associated with them shall have passed away, their principles will still live, and their names and examples be cherished during centuries yet to come."
Remarks were also made by Truman P. Handy, General J. J. Elwell, and S. D. Dodge. The members of the as- sociation were invited then to a dinner, in an upper hall. At 2:00 p. m., they reassembled, and marched as a body to the log-cabin. A photograph was taken of the group, in front of that famous structure. The afternoon was spent in social converse, and in listening to the old-time
89 In the course of his remarks, Mr. Covert suggested a modification of the generally accepted statement, that pioneer Nathaniel Doan was a black- smith. He spoke, he said, on the authority of members of the Doan family. "He built a blacksmith shop," said Mr. Covert, "a hotel, a saleratus factory, and a store, because they were needed. Nathaniel Doan was postmaster, and justice of the peace, for many years, and re- ligious services were conducted by him, in his house." It will be remem- bered, that the Connecticut Land Company voted a grant of one city lot to Nathaniel Doan, the consideration being that he should "reside thereon, as blacksmith." Colonel Charles Whittlesey, in his " Early His- tory of Cleveland," p. 331, says: "Mr. Doan was the blacksmith of the Land Company, whose business it was, during the progress of the survey, to keep their pack-horses well shod. In 1798, he erected a rude shop, on the south side of Superior street." The probability is, that he did not. personally follow that trade in Cleveland, although the builder of the shop which his arrangement with the Land Company caused to be erected.

music which "Father" H. M. Addison evoked from his ancient violin.
On the succeeding day, Thursday, July 30th, came the celebration of Western Reserve Day, dedicated to the people of that historic tract, of which Cleveland is the metropolis. It was ushered in, at 5.30 a. m., by a national salute. It had been intended to hold public ex- ercises during the forenoon, in Central Armory, but Sena- tors John Sherman and Calvin S. Brice, who had been advertised as the chief orators, discovered, at the last moment, that they were unable to come, and accordingly it was abandoned. A military and pioneer parade had been arranged for at 2.30 p. m., and that was carried out, in a successful manner. The progress of a century was shown by floats, and otherwise. Old-time agricultural implements, the spinning-wheel and hand-loom, the " dug-out," the yokes of oxen, the stage-coach of by-gone days, the mail-carrier, and other reminders of pioneer times, were seen in the parade, as it passed the reviewing stand, in front of the City Hall. In the military part of the parade, came a regiment of United States regulars, a troop of regular cavalry, a battery of United States artil- lery, regiments of the Ohio National Guard, Cleveland companies, and the veteran firemen. The procession was reviewed by Governor Bushnell, as commander-in-chief of the troops.
The week beginning with Monday, August 10th, was given over to the Centennial Yacht Regatta, under the auspices of the Centennial Commission, and of the Cleve- land Yacht Club. Several days of excited racing, and much in the line of social pleasure, tell in a few words the story of the week. August 18th, 19th, and 20th, were devoted to the Centennial Floral Exhibition, given under the auspices of the Centennial Commission, the Cleveland Florists' Club, and the Society of American Florists. On the 18th, the twelfth annual convention of the National Association was held in Army and Navy Hall. Mayor McKisson made a speech of welcome to the visitors.
553

The floral exhibits were displayed in Central Armory. The three days devoted to these beautiful displays, and to the reception and entertainment of the exhibitors, were not among the least attractive features of the Cen- tennial summer.
A week and more, extending from August 22nd to August 29th, was set aside for the Grand Encampment and Supreme Lodge of the Knights of Pythias. A camp had been prepared, on "Payne Meadows," to which the name Camp Perry-Payne had been given. To this came thousands of knights, from all parts of the country, and were welcomed by representatives of the Centennial Com- mission, and of the members of the order, in Cleveland. A band concert on the opening evening ; divine services on the Sabbath ; the dedication of the camp; boat riding on the lake ; visits to the public parks, and other places of interest ; parades ; an excursion to Put-in-Bay ; and prize drills, were only a few of the events arranged for the pleasure of the visitors. The parade of the uniform rank, and subordinate lodges, on the 25th, was generally described as the great- est, and most imposing, in the history of the order.
The first of the Historical Conferences, which were among the closing events of the celebration, was held, on September 7th and 8th, in Association Hall. These two days were devoted to the section of education, and the meetings were presided over by President Charles F. Thwing, of Western Reserve University. Director-Gen- eral Day opened the exercises, at 3.00 p. m., by a short speech, at the conclusion of which he introduced Dr. Thwing. Prayer was offered by Rev. S. P. Sprecher. An entertaining paper on "Some Early Schools and Teachers of Cleveland," was read by Miss L. T. Guilford. L. H. Jones, superintendent of the Cleveland schools, followed with an able and thoughtful paper on " Present Ideals, and Future Prospects of Public Education in Cleve- land." Prof. B. A. Hinsdale, of the University of Michi- gan, formerly president of Hiram College, and superintend- ent of Cleveland schools, spoke, in the evening session,
554

on "The Development of Primary and Secondary Educa- tion." The second day, September 8th, was occupied by Mgr. T. P. Thorpe, who spoke on education, with especial reference to the parochial and public schools of Cleveland ; Dr. Levi Gilbert, who talked upon religion, morals, and education ; and President Thwing, who ably discussed the development of higher education. In the evening, an ad- dress on legal education was delivered by Professor Jere- miah Smith, of the Harvard Law School.
The succeeding day, September 9th, was devoted to the section of religion, and the section of philanthropy. The exercises were held in Association Hall, and were com- menced at 9.30 a. m., with J. G. W. Cowles presiding. The following papers were read: "The Baptist Church," prepared by Rev. H. C. Applegarth; "The Catholic Church," Chancellor George F. Houck; "The Con- gregational Church," Rev. J. G. Fraser; " The German Protestant Church," Rev. H. J. Reutenik; " The Jewish Church," Rabbi M. Machol; " The Methodist Episcopal. Church," Mrs. W. A. Ingham; "The Presbyterian Church," Rev. A. C. Ludlow. In the afternoon, a paper on " The History of the Charities of Cleveland," was read by L. F. Mellen ; Dr. C. F. Dutton spoke on " The Mutual Relations of Riches and Poverty," and Rabbi Moses J. Gries, on "Organized Philanthropy."
With the close of Thursday, September 10th, the cele- brations of Cleveland's most memorable summer came to. an end. It was Perry's Victory Day that was observed, with an enthusiasm as great, and a patriotism as fervent, as was shown by the people of Cleveland on the opening of this series of commemorative events.
For the last time the national salute at daybreak noti- fied the people to be up for their final holiday. Great. crowds of visitors came in from the surrounding country, and the streets were everywhere filled, long before the beginning of the formal exercises. The weather was. perfect, as though nature was willing to make amends for- the heat and rains of the previous days.

THE HISTORY OF CLEVELAND.
There was a mass meeting in the Central Armory, at 9.30 a. m. Governor Bushnell was president of the day, and, on taking the chair, spoke briefly of the day and its meaning. He then introduced the Hon. Charles Warren Lippitt, governor of Rhode Island-the State in which Oliver Hazard Perry was born,- who had come to Cleve- land as the city's guest.
Governor Lippitt then delivered the chief address of the day, in which the story of Perry's memorable battle, and its results, was told in full. At its conclusion, Director- General Day offered a resolution, asking the Congress of the United States, and the general assembly of Ohio, " to make an appropriation suf- ficient to erect, on Put-in- Bay Island, an appropriate memorial over the long- neglected graves of the pa- triotic American soldiers and sailors of the Battle of Lake Erie." The resolu- tion was adopted, unani- mously.
An ode on Perry's vic- tory was read by Frederick THE CENTENNIAL ARCH. Boyd Stevenson, of Chicago. Several descendants of Com- modore Perry were introduced. The benediction was pro- nounced by Rev. Charles E. Manchester, and the gather- ing dispersed.
At 2.30 p. m., came the final great parade, industrial and military in its character. There were many soldiers in the line; the governors of Ohio and Rhode Island, with their staffs; the members of the Centennial Commission ; the officers of the United States steamer " Michigan," and of the revenue cutter " Fessenden;" many fraternal and social organizations; and a long line of floats, illustrative of Cleveland's varied industries, and the products of her factories and shops. It was a crowning object-lesson, showing what the city of Moses Cleaveland could do, at

this end of the nineteenth century. It covered miles of the city's streets, which were lined by thousands of spec- tators. The shades of evening had fallen, before the last float went by the reviewing stand, and the electric lights were called in to shed their brightness upon the final scene.
The people had no time to go home, but filled all the lake front at an early hour, where the Battle of Lake Erie was again fought over, in mimic warfare.
The Centennial celebration was brought to a close, at the conclusion of a banquet, given in the Hollenden Hotel, by the Centennial Commission, in honor of the guests of the day. James H. Hoyt presided, and at the proper point introduced Governor Bushnell, who made an ex- tended and patriotic address. He was followed by Gov- ernor Lippitt, Hon. E. C. Bois, attorney-general of Rhode Island, James H. Hoyt, Rabbi Moses J. Gries, and, finally, Mayor Robert E. McKisson. He reviewed the century past, thanked all who had aided in making the Centennial a success, and spoke hopefully of the future. Then, with a mallet made from wood taken from the historic log- cabin, he gave a sharp rap upon the table, and officially declared the Centennial celebration of 1896 at an end.
