Mr.. EDIToR:-The report of the centennial
observance at City Hall Monday evening,
though wildly portrayed and satisfactory to
every reader of the papers, still the representa-
ton and scenes could only be witnessed and
enjoyed by those who could afford it. Oh
course reminder of sights and customs by
representation, of those a century ago, would
be looked upon with interest by all, and rs can
occur but once in a century. Among every
class there are high and cultivated minds, and
appreciative ones, though of limited means.
Nav suggestion be allowed that on the com
ing celebration of the 4th of July some demon
stration be made of ike character in costume
as that on Monday evening, to take part in the
procession 1t would afford an opportunity to
all. and give pleasure to thankful hearts.
Especial pains are taken for regattas, in
which every one is not particularly interested.
They afford amusement and speculation to
certain ones. To the above proposition we are
sure that all would be pleased FREEDOM.
