MARCHING TO THE PARK.
The line Of march was from the headquar.
tiers, Germauia M1nnerchor Hall, Lombard
street, TO Fremont. to Baltimore, 10 Plea, to
Lombard, to Eutaw, passing the Manner
Choir Hall and Concordla. to Baltimore, TO
CaarleS, to Fayetle, around the Battle Monu-
ment, down Calvert 10 Baltimore, to Gay
street, Schuetzen Park.
The order was for the columns to march in
sections Of six files, preserving space OF five
| feet between the ranks, aud each ClvlSlon
maintaining distance Of thirty feet from the
next one in advance, these orders tending to
stretch the procession over d longer line OF
street than il marching in close ranks. Tue
order was not, however, observed through
out the route with military precision. III
WAS estimated there we're about 1900 per-
sons in the procession, the societies from
other cities ranging in numbers from about
twenty 10 enc hundred and fifty each, the
! New York, Brooklyn, and Philadeiphia So
cieties having their ranks tOleraDly full.
The ouly carriage in the procession was al
open one containing Mr.. Busch, president OIL
the united societies Of New \ DIRK and New
Jersey, Mr.. Busch is a motel keeper at Ho-
bokcn, n. j., and weighs over tour huna'ed
pounds avordupoiS. AS 1t would not nave
been fair TO make him carry so much more
than the others in the PROCESSION, an eXcel-
ton was made in his favor, as 1t had Deen In
the case OF General Blumenberg for another
reason. 10 The rule prohibiting carriages IN
the parade. The enforcement OF this rule
no doubt Increased the attractvenesS and
symmetry OF the procession. There were
also a number Of boys OF the Junior Baltl'
1
flags for the different societies.
THE STREETS DuRISG THE PARADE.
The streets through which the procession
passed were thickly packed with people, on
the shady side of the pavemcnts AZ least. All
along Baltimore street from west Of Eutaw
street TO Sharp street the sidewalk on the
south was Il jan OF people, while the WIN
dovs of The houses were also filled With
Str alt q
breaks in the crowds, the corners and shaded
pIuces only being occupied by them, though
from about South street down TO Gay street
the throngs again grew denscr, and from the
corner Of Baltimore and Gay streets out Gay
to The Belair Market the masses OF people
made lCcomoton difficult. The market at
Gay street was filed with children, mostly
rirlS with older attendants. These crowds
| waited in some cases an hour or two tor the
spectacle before they were giatihed. In the
mclptimc il was noticed that the Gay-street
cars which passed slop. up to IL O'Clock a
NJ. were almost empty, though al! day alter
the parade they were well filed or crowded

greenwood and the country.
There was scarcely German house, dwell
limo. or place of business on Gay street
especially fYom Frederick street to the Belail
market. where these cheerful evidences OF
LOYALTY to the great German festival and the
fatheriapd sentiment entwined in it were moi
seen. On Aisquith street, and numerou,
ot ner thoroughiares where Germans most dc
,. conorceate, were similar buildings out OF the
festival spirit. But the buildings most con
spicuous for The beauty and fullness OF thell
decorations were the Germauia Mannerchor
; Hall. on Lombard. street; the Concoroii
nera-House, on Eutaw street; Ralne's hall
and StrasburgeI' new iron building, on Gay
street, at Front street.
TIVE PROCESSION ENTERING THE PARK.
Through these avenues of flags and greer
branches the procession marched to the PARK
and entering, proceeded to the main en-
trance to the grand hall, stepping out gayly
and steadily TO the music Of the bands, anC
while General Bumenberg and others stood
ON the porch and waved their bats and gave
lond hurrahs in token Of welcome, they
marched into the large dining-hai. Here
the banners were stacked, as it were, at the
upper end the beer which the walters car
.. ried around on huge walters, holding 9
dozen or two glasses, and the meat ano
bread in sandwiches, with which several
