Boston, June 17. .1875.
There Imvo bueu no popular deuionstrai tons Of

future, which will nhino out wore brliliantl.r and
conspicuously in American history than tne i.'en

It. has oeen one of those eveuts wiilcli a hu.etJ rod
years ironinow will bj commemorated wtit 113
inucli spirit and prlile almost us has been tiv-lay
devote! to tho memorable battle lor freedom winch
whs fougut here a century a<d.
There nas b en such a combination of icstivvs.cs
all around tuat it is al.nost Impossible to uesc.rl >e
them. W lieu the 17th of June was ushered in i.ijr
tho midnight hour it was tne signal lor a ireturral
explosion of pent-up enthusiasm, and the week 11
likely to be ended beiure ther> is anv perceptive
weakening of the general lubllee. tflfty thousand
people have paraded the streets lu one grand
procession and the monster pageant has been
witnessed by a concourse 01 peop e which can :il
m ?t Do computed 01 tail lous. jruly no such
national nnd haarty demonstration was ever bo
icre witnessed in Atncrloa, and its aumticiiniie
and importance iu promoting social inter.out. e
and friendship between tno different sections <tf
the country, can haruly bo realized at this mo
ment. Tho weather and everything else sruilcd
approvingly upon th ? festive oocaslo.i. Long
before daylight tin srreots of Ctmriestowu and
Boston were fliled with visitors, an 1 by tne time
the cun was woil up all the thoroughfare* in
ev*ry direction swarmed with the soldiery aud
civic organizations which were to form the graud
attraction of the day. The decorations every
where were beautiful und elaborate. Not a sec
tion of Boston or Charlestowu but was most pro
fusely orosminted. Ii seetned as if there had
been a shower of flags, bunting and bouquets.
The dwellings of tne middle and poorer classes, ug
well as the more pretentious mansions and abodes
of tne wealthy, all bore evidence of that general
patriotic feeling engendered by the commemora
tion of such a circumstance as tue centennial an
niversary of the battle of Hunger Hill. The display
was as brilliant aud attractive as ooald have been
expected irom the expenditure01 many thousands
of dollars and tho exercise of the best decorating
taste and skin In (he country.
THE PKOCBSSION OK THE ANTIQUES.
The Orrt feature of the day was the procession
of the Antiques and ilurrioies, which was confined
to Ciarlestown alone. Ttiere were nearly a thou
sand grotesque characters represented, and, not
withstanding tneir perambulations tnrougn the
stieets .at tho unseasonable hour of five
o'clock m the morning, mere were over I
ioo.ooo people out to witness the comical
display. Alter this there was a general lull
in the festivities until nearly noon, and during
ibis Interval the city rapidly Oiled witn visitors.
Tnoasands upon thousands camo in on tfee rail
roads. steamboats am other conveyances. As a
general thing they wendid their way over to
Charlestowu aud men nack again to Boston, thus
keeping up a perpetual stream of sumanliy over
both of the connecting bridges. rue scenes
everywhere were most brilliant and enlivening,
and tnere wss nothing lacking to Indicate that
the aoilday at hand was one of more than ordi
nary magnitude. All tais wa? manifest ov the
presence of sucn an extraordinary concourse of
peopie and the very general preparations for the
celsoration watch were everrwnere noticeable.
thk mammoth ruocEsatoN.
The great feature of the day, of course, was the
?ammoth procession, and to get a good glimpse
of this was the chief motive of the many thou
sands assembled. The streets along the an
nounced route were crowdel to their lull capac
ity many hours before the grand pageant com
menced to move, and the majority of these curi
ous spectators helJ their places for from seven
to elgot noars, or until me whole line had pa-scd
In their review. At hundreds of available points
temporary seats and platforms were erected,
vacant windows flite l up, and die scats rented
lor fabulous sums. from fio to f 2i for a good
portion was not considered an extortionate de
mand, and views irotn housetops also rented
more to their owners than they will be likely to
get In the way of legitimate rents tor the next
tw? Ive montti*. Tue tardiness of the procession
was same waat annoying to the anxious specta
tor, hut when they saw the magnitude of tha
column they wondered that the delay was so
brief.
it Is generally estimated that tha column was
abont seven miles long, and its average time in
passing a (lrta point was about nve hour*.
The roots from beginnlug to end was one
vast body of humanity, and the popular
ovation was just as continuous. The welcomt
to the visitors from HoutU Carolina, Maryland,
Pennsylvania and New York was everywhere of
the most cordial aud hearty a< scrlptinn. Tne
spirit 01 hospitality seemed as If it was spasmodic
and contagions on every band, lhe composuton
