its achievement is due largely to Chairman Kinney, of the Pageant Committee.
The celebration end- ed in a blaze of glory. at the grand ball, prob- ably the most brilliant event of its kind ever witnessed in Cleveland, for which unstinted praise is due the ladies who had it in charge.
There is cause for universal rejoicing that the celebration has been so auspiciously opened and no effort will be spared to carry out all the remaining features of the period between the present and Perry's Victory Day in Septem- ber.

PRESS COMMENT ON THE CENTENNIAL.
On the boat there was sociality and a collation followed by speaking. Mayor MeKis- son cordially greeted the editors, referring to the calling that, by its honorable, serv- iceable character, made its worthy members ever-valued guests, and called on Editor L. E. Holden to extend the further welcome on behalf of both the city of Cleveland and the Centennial Commission. Mr. Holden performed his allotted task in a 16 to 1 manner that showed he rather enjoyed it, and congratulated the editors with the ac- cumulated heartiness of a century, whose triumphs he asked the editors to observe.
St. Paul Pioneer Press ( July 26th ) .- John D. Rockefeller's gift to the city of Cleveland on the occasion of the Centennial celebration of its founding, last Wednes- day, marks another triumph of a large, cultivated benevolent instinct over the sordid impulses traditionally characteristic of great money-getters. He bestows upon the city where he has chiefly lived-and for which he entertains an affection not to be over- come by the attractions of New York-a magnificent landed domain, valued at between $600,000 and $700,000, for the extension of the city's park and boulevard system.
Such grand gifts by Mr. Rockefeller to benevolent and educational objects have become of more than annual occurrence. But not every one knows that they are not the results of transient impulse, or of pleading from others, or even of a feeling on the part of the donor that, having now accumulated the largest fortune ever known in America, if not in the history of the world, he can afford to bestow some part of his means upon the communities where he has achieved his successes. One who knows him well informs the Pioneer Press that Mr. Rockefeller's gifts "are bestowed in pursuance of a settled plan or principle which he has followed from his youth. He is a devout religionist-interpreting literally the promises of the Bible to those who give liberally, and with equal literalness its claims upon the purses of Christian believers. From the day when he first joined the church he has diligently cultivated the habit of giving, and has kept the pledge he then made to give annually, as he was prospered, a tenth or more of his yearly earnings to religious and benevolent purposes. When he earned only $1,000 a year he gave $100; when he made $10,000, he gave $1,000 or more; and now, when his annual income is counted by millions, we find him persist- ently following the same plan, and annually bestowing millions upon those objects which he believes will most lastingly benefit his fellows.
Cleveland Press (August 21, 1896) .- The "Forest City" must also be the " Floral City." The splendid show of the local Florists' Club has been attended by thousands of people this week. The florists themselves have been dumbfounded by the interest shown, while exhibitors from abroad have been unable to restrain their astonishment, as the big Armory building was packed, session after session, by admiring crowds. But, after all, there was really nothing surprising about it. Cleveland is a city of homes and of people who take pride in their homes. There are miles and miles of well-kept lawns and acres on acres of sparkling flower beds, not owned by the very rich, mind you, and kept up by hired help, but owned by men who work on salary and who find relief from the day's business cares in an hour or two on the lawn or among the growing plants. This is a gloriously good thing for the city's morality and intel- lectuality. It is well for the morality of Cleveland that her citizens have a love of and a taste for flowers. Cultivate taste. It means better men and women. It means more contentment, more happiness. It means stronger resolutions to live better lives, stronger determination to be more useful. Within two years ten thousand garden pulpits have been reared in this city, from which are daily preached sermons on faith, hope and charity, until the "Forest City " has become the " Floral City." And it is altogether a blessing to humanity.
Cleveland Press (August 24, 1896) .- Blue, orange and red, which form the tri- colored standard of the subordinate Knights of Pythias lodges, predominate in the region about Camp Perry-Payne. But still more prominent is the flag of scarlet, with the white lily emblazoned in its center. This is the flag of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias. All day Monday depots and boat landings were crowded with incoming members of the order. At the camp all was hustle and bustle from early morning until late in the afternoon. Uniformed men marched to inspiring music, dashing cavalrymen moved this way and that, jams of vehicles filled the streets, and eager masses of people crowded about the city of tents.
Cleveland World (September 11, 1896) .- The Centennial exercises closed yester- day to, on the whole, the general satisfaction. Considering the times, the difficulty of raising money and the like, it was a success. Whatever its shortcomings, it has in- creased the public spirit of the city and enhanced its importance and reputation in the eyes of the world.

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION OF THE CITY OF CLEVELAND.
Cleveland Leader (September 11th) .- The Centennial Retrospect .- Cleveland's' Centennial is ended, but its pageants and great public gatherings, its assemblies and encampments, its throng of visitors and all the long and varied succession of events appealing to the pride and interest of the people of this city, will not soon fade from memory. Neither will the impulse which has been given to the civic spirit of the metropolis of Ohio, the consciousness of power, and the willingness to use it for the public good, be lost because the gala days of the summer are past. There has been a permanent awakening and the birth of new hopes and possibilities for Cleveland. That is the greatest and best result of the celebration of the city's birth.
All things considered. the programme arranged proved to be rich and filled with good things. It was carried out with energy and thoroughness. The promises made were redeemed. In spite of bad weather, at times, and occasional necessary changes, as in the choice of speakers, the Centennial in the main was just what it was planned to be. From beginning to end the work of the Centennial Commission went on with entire fidelity to the lines laid down in the early days of preparation. There were few mistakes to regret, and no failures marred the pleasures of the summer.
And what a feast the Centennial proved to be! What variety and what wide inter- ests have made its memories the pride of Cleveland to be cherished for many a long year to come! From the salute that ushered in Founder's Day to the last burst of color in the fireworks display last night; from the first splendid parade to the closing display of the resources of Cleveland's industries, there was nothing not worth while, nothing without usefulness. The mental horizons of hundreds of thousands have been widened. Life has been rendered brighter and better worth while for a multitude of busy people whose environment is too seldom colored with gayety and beauty. Famous men and women from many distant States have been seen and heard in this fair Forest City. The wheelmen had their day of merrymaking and display. Flowers were made the charm of a fine exhibition. Yachts painted a rare picture of life and beauty on the lake. Banquets at which large and distinguished companies were feasted, literally and with wit and wisdom, vied with the Centennial Ball in brilliance and interest. Races and athletic exhibitions alternated with intellectual pleasures of a very high order.
The women of Cleveland and the Western Reserve have made history as well as re- corded it. The Log Cabin and its curious exhibits have divided interests with the Cen- tennial Arch which has added so much to the attractiveness of the Public Square. Both the military eamp and that of the Knights of Pythias did much to give life and inter- est to the city and make the summer notable for street parades and all the pomp and pageantry of showy uniforms, glittering arms, and marching men. The Western Re- serve and the founders, the early settlers and New England, all had their turn in the public eye. Not one event of the Centennial failed to prove of interest and value.
Victory Day was a fitting conclusion of the summer's festivities. The fine weather and the multitude of visitors in the city combined with the unusual importance of the day's events to make it one of the most enjoyable and interesting days of all the sea- son. Perhaps it surpassed even Founder's Day, in the estimation of the hundreds of thousands who thronged the streets and made the city a happy place of sight-seeing and merry-making. The Centennial began well. It ended in a blaze of glory.
Cleveland has one great lesson to learn from all this ceremony and unwonted life. That is the worth to any city of a strong and active local pride and enterprise such as must be called into the service of any community that undertakes and carries out such a programme as that of our Centennial summer. This metropolis of Ohio must be more self-assertive, more ready to fix the attention and interest of all the country roundabout.
We should have more celebrations and more gala days. They make life happier to multitudes that have little enough of variety and pleasure at best. They shake up the inert and stir the civic pride of those who do not appreciate the greatness, strength, and power of the city in which they live. Cleveland can never be again what it was before the pageants and festivities that have just closed. There cannot be the old self-distrust or the old indifference to public celebrations and displays. There has been a new life and spirit born in the community. That is worth more than the whole Centennial cost.
Let us cherish more pride in Cleveland, more faith in its future, more zeal for all that makes our fair city gain in whatever is good and worthy of a just and sound am- bition. It will be well worth while, now and in all the years to come.

dollars on hand. That means good management. As for the work done, it is a mat- ter of record, and the whole city knows how interesting and valuable the women made their part of the summer's celebrations. They gave much to the intellectual side of the Centennial, and their Pioneer History of the Women of the Western Reserve will be, perhaps, the most tangible and enduring direct result of the city's jubilee. Other fruits, though great, will be more indirect. The women have both made history and recorded it.
It ought to be recognized, now that the Centennial is over and its work is being closed up, that for self-sacrifice and devotion to duty the women of Cleveland have been pre-eminent. They have given their time, labor, and thought, without stint. They have been models of unselfish and broad-minded public spirit. All of the active members of the Woman's Department have given much in many ways, and they have received nothing but the satisfaction of knowing that they have rendered good service to the community in which they live, and to the Western Reserve as a whole. They have gained, it is true, in experience and facility of organization, and they must feel that their services have been recognized and appreciated, but there has been no such recompense for any of them as men often demand when heavy drafts are made on their time and energies.
Now it is fitting to thank them, one and all, in the name and behalf of Cleveland and the Western Reserve. Their services have been appreciated. They will not be forgotten.
The following editorial appeared in the Hartford Courant, of Feb- ruary 6, 1896, on which date the delegation from Ohio arrived in that city with an invitation to the Connecticut officials to attend the Cen- tennial celebration :
His excellency the Governor of Ohio, his honor the Mayor of Cleveland, and our other visitors from what was once New Connecticut and is now Greater Connecticut, do not bring their welcome with them to-day. It came East several months in ad- vance. It has been here ever since last September, awaiting them.
We would have been glad to have them with us on the anniversary, as originally planned, or at Thanksgiving, or at Christmas. We are very glad to have them with us now, and wish their stay could be longer. Since it must needs be so brief, we can only try all the more to make it enjoyable in the experience and pleasant in the re- membrance. They must not be allowed to think of themselves for a moment as strangers in Hartford. What a ridiculous notion that would be. They are our own folks, and this is home.
As the filial errand that brings them home at this time is well understood in the family, not much need be said about it here. It has to do, as we all know, with a cer- tain meeting at a private house in this town a little more than a hundred years ago. A very quiet meeting, an adjourned meeting into the bargain, as we learn from this modest little advertisement in The Courant, of August 17, 1895:
NOTICE.
" All persons concerned in the purchase of the Western Lands are hereby notified to meet at Hartford, on Monday, the 3Ist instant, to secure the purchase money agreea- bly to the terms of the sale."
HARTFORD, August 17.
The " purchase money" was secured (good gracious, suppose it hadn't been !) and the Connecticut Land Company was formed, with results known to history. We are indebted to the securing of that purchase money for the presence of our Ohio kinsmen in Hartford to-day.
If the ghosts of any of the men who went West with Moses Cleaveland to grow up with the country have made this journey, too, they will notice some changes in the old town. It is a bigger, busier and noisier Hartford than the one they left. It has a new State house (the old one was nearly completed in 1795), and several new meeting- houses. The Courant, which in their time was printed near the bridge, is now in other, more commodious quarters. They will notice a good many new names on the signs over the doors of the merchants. But they will also recognize many of the old names, and as they hear the familiar grumbling about the condition of the streets and the wretched accommodations at the East Hartford ferry, they will probably decide that the Hartford of 1896 isn't so very unlike the eighteenth century Hartford, after all.

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION OF THE CITY OF CLEVELAND.
To our flesh-and-blood visitors we can only say again-what they should know without being told-that we are all delighted to have them with us, if but for a day. We have no Cleveland to show them, but Hartford-such as it is-belongs to them.
BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE CENTENNIAL.
A number of historical works of great value to those who study the city's early history in after years were brought out during the Centen- nial or soon thereafter. The " Memorial History of Pioneer Women of the Western Reserve " was published in several volumes by the Wom- an's Department. Mrs. Gertrude V. R. Wickham, the historian, appointed an assistant historian for every township in the Western Reserve and un- der her direction they were busy for months searching for facts with which to make a record of pioneer women, their family connections, and accomplishments. . With untiring patience the work was pushed to com- pletion, bringing together a mass of data which would otherwise have been lost.
Through the efforts of Mrs. W. G. Rose an extensive collection of portraits and views was made and arranged for publication in the " Cen- tennial Album." The book was made replete with pictures which fittingly represented the period of the closing century. The album found its way into hundreds of homes throughout the city and formed a sou- venir of the Centennial which many persons outside of the city eagerly sought. As a contribution to history the album was at once accorded a prominent place.
A neatly bound pamphlet on the " Charities of Cleveland," contain- ing a history of the leading charitable organizations of the city written by L. F. Mellen, was also issued and placed in circulation as well as de- posited in the libraries for future reference. Added to this were many pamphlets containing the separate histories of various institutions and churches, and the more formal addresses and odes connected with the celebration.
The one-hundredth anniversary was made the occasion for bringing out a handsome book, "The History of the City of Cleveland," by James II. Kennedy. This work was issued from The Imperial Press and was a royal octavo volume of 600 pages, with a liberal supply of illustra- tions. It contained a carefully written history of the city from its found- ing to the close of its first century, and a concluding chapter devoted to the Centennial Celebration.
