The following notice was issued by the committee appointed by the Boston Turnverein to make arrangements for the Evening Pro

In dem städtischen Comite zur Feier des 17. September, resp. zum 250jährigen Jubiläum der Stadt Boston, ist vor einigen Wochen schon die Ansicht geltend gemacht worden, daß das Interessanteste und Anziehendste, was sich für den Festabend veran» stalten ließe, ein großartiger deutscher Fackelzug wäre. Die Ansicht fand in dem Comite allgemeinen Anklang, denn, ein Fackelzug, wie er in Deutschland, in New-York und in den größeren westlichen Städten bei besonderen Festlichkeiten veranstaltet wird, ist in Boston etwas noch nie Dagewesenes. Ein Spezial-Comite wurde ernannt, daß sich mit den Deutschen hierüber in Verbindung zu setzen hatte. Die Herren kamen zunächst zum Turnverein, der an Mitgliederzahl wohl der Stärkste ist, und dem es nichts Fremdes wäre, die für den Zug nöthigen historischen Bilder zu arrangiren. Der Turnverein ging von der Ansicht aus, daß die Ausführung des Projekts dem ganzen hiesigen Deutschthum nur zur Ehre gereichen würde und ernannte gleichfalls ein Comite, daß in Gemeinschaft mit dem städtischen Comite die Sache wenn möglich einleiten soll.

Wie sie bereits erfahren haben werden, kam die Gelegenheit am 21. d. M. zur endgültigen Entscheidung, und die Ausführung kann begonnen werden. Mit der Zusicherung in Händen daß sämmtliche Kosten von der Stadt aus getragen werden, begab sich das vom Turnverein ernannte Comite sofort in Sizung, und beschloß, daß der große Fackelzug ein Unternehmen des gesammten hiesigen Deutschthums sein soll. Ferner daß alle deutschen Vereine ersucht werden sollen, je einen Delegaten zu der am Dienstag den 31. August stattfindenden gemeinschaftlichen Sitzung zu entsenden.

Der Zug soll aus 1000 Mann bestehen; alle gleich uniformirt. In demselben befinden sich 16 Wagen, worauf die Bilder, wichtige Begebenheiten aus der Vergangenheit Bostons darstellend, gruppirt werden. Ein ausgezeichneter deutscher Künstler verfertigte Skizzen und Turnlehrer Hermann soll mit der Aufstellung der Gruppen betraut werden.

Wenn harmonisch und schnell gehandelt wird, kann das Resultat nur ein großer Erfolg sein, wofür der Amerikaner uns Deutschen nur Dank und Anerkennung zollen wird.

Wir schicken Ihnen einige Subskriptions-Listen, mit dem Ersuchen, eine in Ihrem Verein circuliren zu lassen, und die übrigen an Besitzer geeigneter Lokale in Ihrer Nähe zur Sammlung von Unterschriften zu übergeben. Haben Sie die Güte Ihren Delegaten zu beauftragen, sich über die Zahl der Unterschriften zu erkundigen, um in der oben angegebenen Sigung berichten zu können.

Hoffend daß Sie dem Gesuch einen Delegaten zu schicken Folge leisten und die Sache überhaupt unterstüßen, zeichnet

Achtungsvoll,

Im Auftrage des Comite's

A. J. Gutermuth, Vorsiger.

In the municipal committee on the celebration on September 17th of the jubilee of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the City of Boston, the suggestion was some weeks ago made, that the most interesting and attractive affair which could be gotten up for the festal evening would be a magnificent German torchlight procession. This view found general acceptance with the committee, for a torchlight procession such as those which on occasions of exceptional rejoicings are set on foot in Germany, New York, and the great cities of the West, is something which in Boston has never yet taken place. A special committee was appointed for communication with the Germans upon the subject. These gentlemen came at once to the Turnverein, by far the strongest of the societies in point of numbers, and to whom the task of arranging the necessary historical pictures for the procession would be a familiar one. The Turnverein, acting upon the conviction that the execution of the project could not but reflect honor upon the whole German element in our community, likewise appointed a committee to bring about the affair, in connection with the municipal committee, if possible.

As you will already have learned, a conclusive decision in the matter was had on the 21st inst., and its execution can now be commenced. With the assurance in its hands that all the expenses are to be borne by the city, the committee appointed by the Turnverein went into session at once, and resolved that the great torchlight procession should be an undertaking by all our German citizens acting together. Moreover that all German associations should be requested to send one delegate each to a general committee meeting to take place on Tuesday, August 31st.

The procession is to consist of one thousand men, all uniformed alike. In it are found sixteen wagons, upon which are grouped the tableaux representing important events from Boston's past history. A distinguished German artist prepares the sketches, and to Turnlehrer Hermann will be entrusted the placing of the groups.

With harmonious and prompt action the result can only be a great success, one for which the American can but offer to us Germans his grateful acknowledgments.

We send you several subscription lists, with the request that you will circulate one in your society, and transmit the others to the owners of appropriate public places in your neighborhood, for the collection of signatures. Have the goodness to instruct your delegate to inform himself as to the number of signatures, in order to be able to report the same in the above-mentioned meeting.

Hoping that you will comply with the request to send a delegate, and also give the matter your general support, signs

Respectfully,

By the committee's instructions,

D. FAUSEL, Secretary.

A. J. GUTERMUTH, Chairman.
