rived Mt the conclusion to beat their swords plough
shares for this occasion only. Mr. Awater whose name
mentioned IN the list Of the Comaittee Of Reception
the gentleman who originated the horse exhibition at
| Springfield in 1853 and he is as aTtbe as ever
| II was FIRST intended that the exhibition should take
place in Philadelphia and the citizens Of that village
guaranteed that ten thousand dollars should be forth
| coming to meet the expenses But Mr.. Wilder the Pro-
sdent thought that Boston though not quite large
Philadelphia could do something better than this and
he personally waited upon forty Boston merchants each
q whom pledged himself TO see the society through TO
the amount Of five hundred dollars making twenty thou
sand in ALL Thus the society is guaranteed this for
the expenses. IL the receipts up the expectations
Of The society there gentlemen will be called upon for
cent, but II there is deficit they agree TO make it up
| tho amount above stated.
Mr.. Wilder then applied TO the city government fcr the

show. II Il in The shape Of oblong square an IT.

ion street the south by Northa inpton an the
sea- the east By Harrison avenue, and the by
| Albany street. The ground is what used to lie
called in M days Of youth and Adolescence Roxbury
Neck at the southern extremity OF the peninsula upon
which Boston Is situated; but the flats on either side
have been generally filled up there il neck nov but
each side o Washington street above Dover whore
there we're formerly nothing but nodorous marshe
vered at times with mud and bge water, have now
fine bard streets spacious squares with trees which win
be Of account by-andbyc fountains that play when
the Ccehtuate Is plentiful enough to make such luxury
possible and fine blocks Of houses occupied by solid ct
