I. REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. The centennial celebration of Washington's inauguration. New York, November 8, 1888. http://www.loc.gov/resource/ rbpe.12904400 New York, November 8th, 1888. To the Sub-Committee on Plan and Scope of the General Committee on the Centennial Celebration of Washington's Inauguration: Gentlemen: I have the honor to report for your consideration and adoption as follows: I. That the following gentlemen be added to the Committee: To the Sub-Committee on Plan and Scope, Hugh J. Grant. To the Sub-Committee on Navy, Loyall Farragut. To the Sub-Committee on Finance, John F. Plummer, J. Edward Simmons. To the Sub-Committee on Transportation, Thomas S. Moore. To the General Committee, Robert Stuyvesant, Moncure D. Conway, Myles Standish, William C. Smith, Richard T.

New York, November 8, 1888. http://www.loc.gov/resource/ rbpe.12904400 3. In response to the request of the Sub-Committee on Finance, regarding the amount of money required for the Celebration, I would recommend that the sum of $175,000 be solicited, of which $50,000 shall be raised in private subscriptions, $50,000 asked from the State of New York, and $75,000 from the City of New York, under authority of the following Act: “An Act authorizing the Board of Estimate and Apportionment in the City of New York to appropriate money for the celebration of the Centennial of the Inauguration of the first President of the United States. Approved by Governor, May 7, 1888. Passed, three-fifths being present. The people of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows: Section 1. The Board of Estimate and Apportionment in the City of New York is hereby authorized and empowered to include in the final estimates of the moneys to be raised by taxation for conducting the public business of said city for the year one thousand eight hundred and eight-nine such sum as in the judgment of said board may be necessary to provide for the suitable celebration in said city of the centennial year of the Inauguration of Gen. Washington as the first President of the United States. Section 2. Said moneys shall be expended under the direction of the Mayor of said City and upon vouchers to be approved by him.” 4. I would urge that the Chairman of the different Sub-Committees be requested to push the work of their respective committees as much as possible, and, if necessary, to ask men to resign, who cannot perform the work required of them, in order that their places may be promptly filled. The large amount of work to be done by the Sub-Committees before April 30th, renders this step necessary. 5. Permanent headquarters should be at once secured for the work of the different Sub- Committees. 6. I would ask that the reports of the Sub-Committees on Navy in part and on Finance, Railroads and Transportation, Art and Exhibition, and Literary Exercises, be adopted. Respectfully submitted, ELBRIDGE T. GERRY, Chairman of the Executive Committee. The centennial celebration of Washington's inauguration. New York, November 8, 1888. http://www.loc.gov/resource/ rbpe.12904400 II. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON LITERARY EXERCISES. New York, November 8th, 1888. To the Sub-committee on Plan and Scope of the General Committee on the Centennial Celebration of Washington's Inauguration: Gentlemen: The Committee on Literary Exercises would respectfully report, as follows: 1. At nine o'clock on the morning of April 30th next, brief religious services of praise and thanksgiving should be held in the different churches of the city—the same hour in which religious services were held on April 30th, 1789. From the account of the Inauguration in the Gazette of the United States, of May 2nd, 1789, is taken this sentence: “At nine o'clock A. M. the people assembled in the several churches, with the clergy of the respective denominations to implore the blessing of Heaven upon their new government, its favor to the President, and success and acceptance to his administration.” The clergy of the city are invited to co-operate in arranging for such services, and if it meets with their approval it is suggested that religious services of thanksgiving be held at nine o'clock on the morning of April 30th next, in churches throughout the State and Nation. 2. A special religious service has been planned for in St. Paul's Church at nine o'clock on the morning of the Celebration, to be conducted by the Right Reverend Henry C. Potter, Bishop of New York, and the Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix, and to be attended by the President and Vice-President of the United States, and other gentlemen of distinction. This service will be similar in character to the service performed on the day of the Inauguration, by the Right Reverend Dr. Provost, Bishop of the Episcopal Church in the City and Chaplain to the Senate, which service was attended by the President and Vice-President of the United States, and the two Houses of Congress. Regarding the service at St. Paul's Church, the following letter is quoted from the Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix: New York, October 20, 1888. Dear Sir: The centennial celebration of Washington's inauguration. New York, November 8, 1888. http://www.loc.gov/resource/ rbpe.12904400 I have your communication of the 18th of October, and would say in reply that it gives me great pleasure to place St. Paul's Church at the disposition of the Committee on the Centennial Celebration of the Inauguration of George Washington as President of the United States. I shall be most happy to receive Bishop Potter on that occasion, and to see that the services are carried out as he may direct. I shall lay your communication before the Vestry of Trinity Church at their next meeting, which will be on the second Monday in November, in order that they may co-operate in the plans of your Committee, which they will be, I am sure, most happy to do. Yours very truly, MORGAN DIX. Mr. Clarence W. Bowen. 3. The formal literary exercises will take place on the steps of the Sub-Treasury Building, at the corner of Wall and Nassau Streets, where stood Federal Hall, the scene of the Inauguration Ceremonies. A prayer will be offered by Rev. Richard S. Storrs, D.D., LL D.; a poem is expected from John Greenleaf Whittier, if his health will permit; the oration will be delivered by Chauncey M. Depew; the President of the United States will speak, and Archbishop Corrigan will pronounce the benediction. At the close of the Literary Exercises, the Military, Industrial and Civic Parade will take place, which will be reviewed from the steps of the Sub-Treasury, as outlined in the report of the Committee on Army.

By looking at things such as the food, décor, and dancing at these balls, historians could arrive at an understanding of how the Four Hundred wanted to be perceived by others as well as the various types of capital these elites exhibited to assert their claim as the leaders of upper-class New York. In addition, in the process of advancing their claims as the rightful leaders of Society, the New York Four Hundred transformed elite identity as well as upper-class masculinity to include competitiveness and even fitness and vigorousness, traits that once applied more exclusively to white middle-class masculinity.

  • Introduction to the Ratification of the Constitution in New York
    Introduction to the Ratification of the Constitution in New York During the decade preceding the War for Independence, New York was divided into two large provincial factions—the Delanceys and the Livingstons. When independence neared, the Delanceys were in power and they remained loyal to the king. The opposition to British imperial policy consisted of three groups—the radical elements led by New York City mechanics who advocated independence from Great Britain, a very conservative group that wanted reconciliation, and another conservative group that wanted to delay independence but would not give up key colonial rights. Because conservatives controlled the third Provincial Congress, that body gave no instructions on the question of independence to New York’s delegates to the Second Continental Congress meeting in Philadelphia. Not being instructed, the New York delegation, standing alone, did not vote on independence on 2 July 1776. Earlier, in response to the Continental Congress’ resolution of 15 May 1776, the third Provincial Congress had called on the electors in the different counties to elect a fourth provincial congress which might draft a constitution creating a state government. The election took place and the new Provincial Congress on 9 July resolved unanimously to join the other colonies in declaring independence. The next day it renamed itself the Provincial Convention. On 1 August the Convention appointed a committee of thirteen to draft a state constitution and to report by 26 August. The committee did not report until 12 March 1777. After almost six weeks of debate, the Convention on 20 April voted “in the name and by the authority of the good people of this State” to adopt the constitution.
