PILGRIM CELEBRATION.

Ir having been suggested, that a Celebration of the Anniversary of the Embarkation of the Pilgrims from Delft Haven in 1620, would be a highly appropriate and fitting tribute to the memory of the Fathers of New England, and also a proper season for taking measures to erect a monument in the town, on or near "Forefathers' Rock," the Pilgrim Society, at a meeting held in May, authorized the Trustees of the Society to make the necessary preparations for such celebration, to take place August 1, 1853, that day corresponding, in New Style, to July 22, Old Style, the day on which the Pilgrims embarked from Delft Haven.

At a meeting of the Trustees held June 16, 1853, the following persons were chosen to act as the Committee of Arrangements: Richard Warren, Timothy Gordon, Andrew L. Russell, Eleazer C. Sherman, Trustees in Plymouth; Nathaniel B. Shurtleff, James T. Hayward, Trustees in Boston; Charles H. Warren, and William S. Russell, members of the Society.

The Committee appointed the following Marshals:
