 REPORT No. 1, COMMITIEE ON GROUNDS. 
 
 Torn' Committee desire to report : 
 
 l.—That they obtained estimates for vhe enlargement of the Horticultural 
 Pavilion, as also for the erection of a temporary structure capable of meeting 
 the anticipated wants of the celebration, it being thought desirable, if possible, 
 to give greater accommodatioji for the Musical features of the celebration 
 especially. They found, however, that the cost was so great as to preclude 
 anything being done in this direction. They therefore recommended that the 
 Corporation of the City of Toronto be petitioned to grant the use of the Exhi- 
 bition Buildings and Grounds during the 8emi-Centennial week to yinir Com- 
 mittee ; and that the Horticultural Gardens and Pavilion be similarly engaged, 
 and that thv. refusal of the several rinks of the City be obtained for the same 
 period. 
 
 2.— The Committee further recommend, on the advice of the Ball Com- 
 mittee, that a temporary supper-room be constructed on the north of the Hor- 
 ticultural Pavilion, aJt a cost of Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars. 
 
 All of which is respectfully snbmitted,

 RKPORT No. 2 OF COMMITTED ON MEMORIAL VOLUME. 
 
 Yonr Coiumifctee, finding that the Corporation of the City of Toronto would 
 not accept either of the propositions contained in their first report, namely, to 
 undertake tlie cost of the publication, or guarantee the publishers against loss, 
 resolved to reconimeiid that the ofter of the Rose Publishing Company to pub- 
 lish the proposed Memorial Vt)lume, as a private enterprise, be accepted, on the 
 understauding that the Chairman of the General Committee, and vlie Chairman 
 (if this Committee, sliould have a supervision over the text of such volume, and 
 the illustration to be inserted. 
 
 Respectfully submitted.

REPORT NO. 2 OF THE COMMITTEE ON ARRANGEMENTS. 
 
 The Committco on Arrangements beg to present the following Report : 
 
 1. — That in accordance with the imtructions of the General Conunitteo, they 
 made the neces.sary arrangements for the due observance of the Anniversary Day, 
 the (5th of March, iii terms of their Report No, 1, adt»pted. They regret that 
 tlu! ringing of the City bells was not as general as tliey anticipated, arrange- 
 ments having been made for their being rung between the hours of li a.m. and 
 noon. Their thanks are due to those in charge of the various Churches, as also 
 to the Public School Board, and other corporations, for their willingness in 
 meeting the wishes of the Committee. The salute f)f 50 guns was fired by Major 
 Gray's Battery in the Queen's Park. In tlio afternoon the opening of the Free 
 Library was a i)rominent featui-e of the Day's celebration, and in the evening the 
 proceedings were happily ended by the very successful reception given by His 
 Worship the Mayor at the City Hall, to the surviving Mayors and Members of 
 the former City Councils, and other municipal ofticials. His Worship the Mayor 
 did all in hi.s poAver to iiid the Committee in arranging the day's proceedings, and 
 contributed largely to its success. To mark the HistoricaV feature of the occasion, 
 your Committee, with the concurrence of the Executive Conunittee, resolved to 
 present a suitalde address to His Worship the Mayor at the reception given by 
 him. The execution of the same was entrusted to Mr. Allen, whose worknum- 
 ship gave every satisfacti(m. His Worsliip, on the presentation, replied in 
 suitable terms. The expenses attending the day's celebration have been for- 
 warded to the Executive, duly v<mched for by your Committee. 
 
 2. — In connection with the Municipal and Historical Day, your Committee 
 have much pleasure in recommending that the orators on that occasion be the 
 Hon. Mr. Justice M. C. Cameron, and Dr. Daniel. Wilson, President of Uni- 
 versity College. Both of these gentlemen were uiade acquainted with the 
 decision of the Committee, and have kindly consented to undertake the task 
 laid upon rluMii. 
 
 3. — -The Committee appointed sub-Committees to take charge of the Com- 
 memoration Hall, with power to add to their mmiber. Mr. Pellatt was chosen 
 Chairman of tin; Committee, and arrangements for the Ball are well advanced. 
 The estimateil expenditure for th esame is Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars. 
 The tickets have been fixed at $3.00 for gentlemen and ^2.00 for ladies, and 
 provision made for an estimated attendance of 1,500. It is confidently anti- 
 cipated that the Ball will be self-supporting.

 4. -In view of tho fact tliat His Excollency tliu GovoriiMr-Otnuinil, with luucli 
 rogrot, finds tliat it will bo inipossiblo for him to bo present iu Toronto during 
 tho week of tho Sonii-Centennial Colobration, your Coniniittoe would suggest 
 that the Commomoration Dinner to di.stinijjuiahcd visitors bo dispensed with, 
 and tho evening fixed for that event Vje otherwise filled. 
 
 5. -It being anticipated that large numbers of strangers will visit our city 
 during tho week of the celebration, your Committee thought it desirable to 
 provide a Sub-Comniittoe to have cluirge of arranging such accommodation as 
 c :>uld not be sujijiliod liy tlio various hotels in tlie city. It is their aim to collect 
 statistics of accouunodation and prices, k>jeping tho register open before and 
 during the week of the celebration for the information of our visitors, wh>. will 
 tUus have an opportunity of selecting where they will stay. 
 
 0. — A Sub- Committee has also boon appointed to attend to tho wants of the 
 l)ress representatives, composed of a certain number of your Committee and a 
 r >presentative from each of tho city papers. It is hoped in tliis way that every 
 facility will be given to every visiting member of the pi'oss to be present at 
 every event to take place during the celebraticn. 
 
 7. — Your Committee having taken into consideration the military movements 
 during tho month of June, ivs also the contemplated arrangements to be made 
 with the various Railway Companies, would reconnnend that tho week of the 
 celebration be changed to that commencing Monday, 30th June. The two 
 prominent holidays in July, namely, the 1st July — Dominion Day — as also the 
 4th July, the holiday in tho United States, will thus be brought into play, and 
 give gi-eater facility to your Committee in the carrying out of the programme 
 adopted, 
 
 8 — Your Committee have received from Prof. Hand a tender for the fire- 
 works to be used in the night ])ar ule on tliu harbour, amounting to tho sum of 
 $l,()()(). The specifications and design ior the same are herewith submitted. 
 This leading feature has been considered, and your (Committee feel that the 
 display promised by Prof. Hand will be quite an event of the week, and some- 
 thing unique in its way. Nothing of the kind has heretofore been attempted 
 (m this continent. Tliey recf)nnuend tlio adojition of the tender submitted.
