 The vast amount of preliminary work necessary on so great an under taking is now successfully completed arranged.
 The opening services; the flag raising: ly, imposing services of Sunday; the automobile parade; the historical ad- dresses; the great Bi-centennial chor- I us; the Colonial receptions; the grand civic and military parade and review; the addresses following, and the fire f works, all these are arranged for, and with all these the frequent concerts by the band and at proper times the I artillery salutes.
 National, state and county officials Will be present and the most eminent historians of the times will deliver the addresses. | Thousands of guests have been in- vited and are coming and other thou sands will come as SightseerS. Given such weather as June should give and New Milford will see the greatest and most enjoyable event in her history And even stress of weather cannot take awa5 the pleasures of the Old Home gathering, the Sunday meet ings, the Colonial reception or the historical addresses: for all these can take place under cover. There is not an event on the program that anyone can afford to miss, so full of interest are they all. From Satur- day morning until Tuesday night every citizen of our town should feel that he has the welfare of New Milford
  ment of these thousands who visit us then must depend, not only tbe fair fame of our community but our future prosperity, which this celebration should usher in in fuller measure than has ever before been enjoyed. The utmost precautions will be taken to ensure the preservation of peace and order, and every objectionable feature, sometimes in evidence at large celebrations, will be eliminated. The greatest care has been taken to fully protect local dealers in all lines of sup plies, souvenirs, and all sales usually incidental to large gatherings No concessions will be allowed to parties from outside, while all concessions are absolutely free to our own citizens.
 Large outlay will necessarily be made for meats, coffee, sugar, lemons, and lumber as well as printing and stationery. and every penny of this outlay will be given to local dealers.
 It only remains for the day to arrive, when our citizens shall show the peo- town whose birthday is worth celebra- ting in style.
