Such is the account given Of the first celebration;
and although it did not equal the last, still it is in
teresing to recall it At this particular time. Then,
probably, there were not more than three or four
hundred persons at the utmost while at the ceebra
ton we are now recording there were as many thou
sands But let leave the past and give our aten-
ton to the present.
It is two o'clock, and still company has arrived
except the reporters, who have, as is their usual
custom, taken their places before the commence
ment Of the ceremonies They are not long seated,
however, when number Of ladies make their ap-
pearance in the tent, and in a few moments after,
the number is increased to hundred. But this Is
not al-they still continue to arrive and now there
cannot be LEES than thousand Of The fair daughters
Of New England here to grace the festivities with
their presence, and add lustre to the brilliant
spectacle. The military companies next enter the tent
among whom our own gallant Light Guards are
most conspicuous. They take their places while the
band plays splrtstirrug strain, and the bright
eyes at the other end Of the tent directed toward
them, and many smile and nod Of recognition is
exchanged as some well known face is distinguished
among The mass.
Next come the President Mr.. r. Warren, accom-
panied by Hon. Mr. Everett, Mr.. Simeon Draper,
Hon. Charles Sumner, Hon. John p. Hale, Mr.
Ysadon, Hon. c. W. Upham, Hon. George 7. Davis,
Few. DR.. Adams, Rev. Mr.. Osgood, Capt. Vincent,
and number Of other gentlemen. The President
sits him down in that venerable relic Of the past to
which we have Just refened--the chair which at one
time occupied place in the cabin Of the MayAower.
The company being seated, Rev. DR.. ADAMS, of
New York, pronounced the following

The company now proceeded TO the discussion OK
the substantial repast before them, to which the
exercise Of the morning enabled them to do Justice
To Mr.. Wright Of Boston, belongs the credit Of this
excellent entertainment, and We have doubt those
who partook of it will long remember him.
In due course of time the various edibles were
slowed away in secure places, and all prepared for
the intellectual part of the entertainment The Pre-
sident stands up and raps against the able to pro-
cure silence. In few moments all rs still, and he
proceeds to deliver the following excellent and ap-
propriate address,:
