The question of having an appropriate eel,
ebration of our Centennial anniversary al
the head of the lake, has for some weeks
been talked about, upon both sides Of the
bav, but Il o steps were taken towards carry
ing out that project until a very few DAYS
since On Saturday last, however Capt
Edwards, Of Superior, stated to some gentle
men of this place that while there had been
no formal meeting to consider the matter
yet from expressions, that ne had heard, he
felt warranted in saving that a Union Cele-
bration between the two towns in one of the
groves on Minnesota point would be very
agreeable to the people of Superior, and
there seems to have been tact understand
inc between him and the gentlemen with
whom he conferred, that the Union Celebra.
ton ball should at once be put III motion
upon both sides OF the bay.
Accordingly, on Monday, Judge Parker,
Mr.. Marvin Geo. Stuntz and others, took
hold Of the matter and passed the word
around that meeting would be held at the
Council rooms that evening to cOnSidsr the
question of having the proposed celebration,
and at the appointed hour, goodly number
of our citizens were found there assembled
On motion the Hon. Luke Marvin was
called to the chair and Frank Burke, Jr,
| chosen secretary. After a statement by
| Geo. Il. Stuntz and Judge Parker of the III.
teryeW that they had with Mr. Edwards, it
was unanimously voted to go ahead and get
up the celebration and the following commit.

! Judge Parker asked to be excused from
acting on the committee and suggested that
K. G. Mitchell be appointed in his stead,
| which was done.
| The meeting then adjourned to meet on

At the meeting of Tuesday evening all
! the committees report ed progress, and we
| believe that they are all promptly attending
to the duties assigned them, and the indica-
tons are that we shall have very pleasant
celebration
| We understand from Mr.. Edwards that
Judge Thomas Clark, of Superior, will con
tribute to the entertainment on the Fourth,
oY reading historical sketch of the whole
head of the lake and Of Superior in particu-
lar, and it may be that our neighbors over
there NAV wish to contribute somethiuc more
to the entertainment on that occasion. If so,
ali right, the people of Duluth will be clad
to have them do so. Owing however. to the
sinking of the StIlman Witt, on Saturday
last, and to the fact that there has hardly
been any communication between the two
towns since that day, we are not advised at

our neighbOrs over there really is.
The committee appointed to select the
Orator of the Day, &C., have made the fol
