The Centennial Celebration, Completing the eArrangements-Anttc tfOn of Q Notable D&y-OrdeFs Issued by Different DePartments-COntinu of the Programme.
 The general committee on centennial cele- bration held meeting in rooms 10 and II, City Hall, last evening: Colonel John E. Earle presided at the opening of the meeting, but later Mayor Lewis came in and took the chair.
 The various committees reported their work nearly completed and all predicted a successful celebration.
 When the matter of circulating pro- grammes came up it was inquired what should be done regarding their distribution. It was suggested that they be sold on the street by newsboys, they being charged 8 nominal sum for the same and they selling them at one, two or three cents, as to be hereafter decided by the committee.
 Mayor Lewis made strong speech in favcr of firing all the salutes on the Fourth on East Rock Park. He referred to the fact that Mrs. Henry Farnam has sent her check for an amount sufficient to complete Farnam drive to Indian Head. He thought therefore that the guns should be fired on the park as dedication of tue park and in memory of the benedcence of the Hon. Henry Farnam. A motion in accordance with the Mayors sug- gestion was made and carried, and no guns will be fired on Beacon Hill, but all will be fired on the summit or in front of East Rock John McCarthy reported that the com- mittes on water had made all their arrangements to supply the men on the march with water. The several ice companies have agreed to furnish ice ire, of charge, and will be stationed as follows: J T Newton at Wooster square; Burton Dicker- man at Broadway; E Dickerman, junction of George and State streets; Mix Brothers, Eld street; New Haven Ice Company and Crystal Lake Ice Company, the old green. The ladies on Eld street will give the distribution of water and other refreshments their special attention.
