Two Hundred and Fiftieth Anni- versary of the Settlement of Boston.
[From the Examiner's Special Commissioner. |
.The 250th anniversary of the settlement of Boston was celebrated on Friday, Sept. 17th, with ceremonies and pagentry very appropriate to the eccasion. The great procession, which, without doubt, was the most popniar feature of the célebration, in- cluded in its ranks the military of the Commonwealth, and organizations from other States.
THE TRADES’ DISPLAY was an object lesson that could not fail to leave its impress upon the minds of all who witnessed it. The sight exhibited was one of which tle city might well be proud, and will be remembered long by those who had the privilege of witnessing it, as it was magnificent in the extreme. The pro- gramme for the ebservance of Boston’s 250th anniversary was complete. The weather was most delightful, with a fair sky. On the route of the procession there were many elegant displays of decorations. THE OFFICIAL OBSERVANCE
took place at 9 a. m., in the Old South Church. His Honor Mayor Prince de- livered an appropriate oration, when other exercises took place.
At 9 o'clock the Rev. Dr. Ellis opened the proceedings with prayer, after which there was some excelleut music from the Beston Cadet Band. The Mayor then read the following Ode, which, he said, had been handed to him by Hon. Robert C. Win- threp :
THR ANNIVERSARY ODE. (lod save our City loved, The Pilgrims’ refuge proved ~ ‘In darkest boar. ~ Home of our fathers’ choice, Home where Keligion’s voice Sti!l called them to rejoice Unchecked by pewer.
Wome of a simpler creed, Home in our father's need, Holy and pure. Free new from bigots’ rule, Cod save the Church and School, Ne’er let a tvrant’s too] From trath ailure.
God help our sons to bear Onward the work and prayer Of those who sleep. (tod he’p our daughters here In reverent love and fear The future race to rear, His laws to keep.
So shall the land we prize Up totrue glory rise In goodness great ; So shall all nations come To make our land their home, No more o’er earth to roam ; God save the State.
One of the great dry goods establish- lishments of the city—Jordan, Marsh & Co.—furnished a display which, for unique- ness and extent, excelled every- thing else in the line, and Gilmore’s famous band headed. their exhibition. Among other things in the course of the procession of the trades, we observed practical exemplifications of pottery-making, brick-making, the process of tailoring (by a family), printing now and as it was 250 yeas ago, the manufacture of leather, hair-dyeing in various styles, illustrations of the six mechanical powers, soap manufacture, cider-making, and riggers implements. These are but few of the note- worthy displays which it was our pleasure to behold. It will not be necessary for us to give
THE ROUTE OF PARADE, but will merely state for the information of our readers that its length was a little more than six miles, and the time it took the procession to pass a given point was fully three and a half hours. The GRAND CONCERT ON BOSTON COMMON
commenced at 8’clock, by Gilmore’s famous band, comprising sixty-five performers and the full drum corps of the twenty-second regiment of New York. This grand musi- eal entertainment being cordiaily tendered to the public by Jordan, Marsh & Co., al- ready referred to. THE GERMANS NIGHT PARADE
was one of the greatest features of the cele- bration, and the procession of tableaux, mounted in finished style, was something gnite unique, and which we would not have missed on any account. About one thou- san@ of the Boston Turners paraded with German Torches. After the
REVIEW GF THE MILITARY
by Governor Long, from Berkley street through Columbus Avenue, Park Square, Charles and Beacon streets, the pro- cession moved at the report of the signal gin.
MAYOR PRICES ORATION
was an exhaustive and eloquent review of Beston’s histery, and the procession was a rand and imposing display.
The first division was composed entirely of military organizations from other States.
The second division was-composed of the members of the city government, under escort of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, and the city’s distin- guished guests.
The third division comprised the several posts of the Grand Army of the Republic taking part in the procession, the Beston school regiment, the surviving school boys
of 1830, the cadet battalion, Massachusetts Agricultural College, the United States soldiers and sailors’ Pensioner’s Union; the Magoun battery of Medford, and detach- ments from the Boston and Quincey fire departments.
The fourth division comprised the Cale- donian Club, Scott’s Charitable Society and Temperance organizations,
In the fifth division we noticed the Pythian Knights, Tailor’s Union, Italian Society, Little St. John, ete.
The sixth division was composed of the Trish and Catholic temperance societies of Boston and vicinity, and presented an e cellent appearance.
In the seventh division was presented the finest Industrial Display ever seen in New England, and was the close of the grand procession.
We took up our position on Chester Park and as the column turned into the square the scene that presented itself was lively anc animating. Between Columbus Avenue and Shawmut Avenue, at short intervals, fags had been run out on lines reaching from the houses to the trees in the square, while both sides of the square were densely packed with people, and through the kind- ness of Mr. Shapleigh we obtained a first- class position. Many of the private resi- dences, having, platforms erected over their front door yards, for the accomodation of personal friends of the occupants, and all were fully occupied.
It would be impossible for us to give even an outline of all we saw in one short letter, but the fc lowing were among the principal and most
ELABORATE DECORATIONS,
Messrs. Jordan, Marsh & Co., on Wash- ington Street, inade a most clegant display and was one of the best ever seen in Boston. A large painting of a view of the city in 1880, from the water front, with the ship- ping, warehouses, &c., and crowned by the State House, with its gilded dome, oecupied the entire length of the building, and reach- ed to the top of the second-story windows. in contrast with this was asmall picture, at the top of the building, giving a view of the three hills on which Boston was settled in 1630, At each end of the large picture, was a figure, heroic size, one of an American Indian, and the cthera female with a sickle and sheaf. Festoons of bunting were draped accross the front from the centre to two shields at each side, one being the seal of Massachusetts, and the other that of the United States, both pictures being sur- mounted by glories of flags. The effect of the whole was striking and universally ad- mired,
The immense front of R. H. White & Co.’s block, also on Washington street, was glow- ing with color. In every window of the up- per story were smail American flags, with bunting festooned down the pillars and be- tween the windows of the second and third story, and to the large windows of the first story small tlags of all nations were displayed. The appearance of the whole was most artistic.
A Sherman & Co., the Continental Clothing House, The @rpheus Musical Society, Cobb, Bates & Zerxa, Moulton & Bradley, Oliver Dit- son & Uo,, and many others, too numerous to mention, had elaborate decorations, with life- size pictures, representing Liberty. &c., &c.
But we are growing wearisome to our read- ers, and will close by simply stating that among the many things we saw and heard, nothing gave us more pleasure than hearing one of
BOSTON’S MUSICAL PRODIGIES,
By kind invitation we visited Boston High- lands to hear Master Allen Hunter perform on the piano. Fora young lad, only fourteen, his performances were truly wonderful, pro- ducing the compositions of the great masters in a most artistic manner. We may have oc- casion to return to this subject at a future time.
There are many other things we should like to refer to on this occasion, but find we have already occupied too much space.
To-night we will be ‘‘on the wing” for New York, from which place we will send our next, if anything of special interest pre- sents itself to our gaze.

4 Montreal despatch of the 2ist says the robbery in the Bank of Montreal, during the temprary absence of paying teller Padden from his stall, at midday, ranks high for im- prudence. A_ well-dressed stranger entered from a side door, and taking up a roll of bills in his hand marched out, while in the com- partment the thief was noticed bya young clerk named McCulloch, but mistaken for the teller ; on the latter returning te his place, McCulloch discovered his mistake and imme- diately stated that a stranger had been tam- pering with the money. Padden hastily counted it up and feund $7,000 deficient. The alarm was given, McCulloch rushed out and saw the thief walking along the street, but before he got a policeman te arrest him he had disappeared. A reward of one theus- and dollars has been offered for his arrest,
‘ but the deteetives think e will get over the
line before he is taken, A great number of thieves arrived in town since the opening of the exhibition. .
Was iT a Crime ?--A Bridgewater despatch to the Halifax Chronicle, 21st, says: ‘‘ A barn belonging to Nat. Ulham, of Chelsea, was burned last night, containing his crop of the year. Human bones were found among the ruins to-day. It is supposed a man was bura- ed init.” Chelsea, will be remembered as the scene of the recent murder of young Huey.
An old man named Robert Bewls, was killed by the accidental falling of a staging at St. John, N. B., on Monday last.
