The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1882-08-31
BOOMING BIG.

The Baltimore Oriole is having a ire
mendous boom, and the indications point
Enthusiastically to the greatest demonstra
| ton ever made In the Monumental City.
The hearty endorsement of the railroad
companies and other corporations, the
leading commercial houses and business
interests generally in the shape of the
most generous subscriptions render the
matter OF money one of no anxiety to
the comr. ;.te, and enables them to devote
their whole time to perfecting the details
of the three days festivities.
The responses from the military or
CARNATIONS invited to enter into compe-
tition for the splendid prizes offered,
are of such nature as to insure a most
spirited contest. The military parade
on the morning of the 18th, and prior
to the competitive drill viii be strikingly
brilliant and of a remarkable extent
All the competing organizations will on
parade present their fullest ranks, from
which the company Of thirty-six will be
selected to contend for the prizes.
Several of these organizations number
from two to four hundred men, and it is
now contemplated to offer magnificent
silken banner to the organization making
the finest appearance in the parade
The Maryland regiments, batallions and
companies will turn out in full force,
and the display as whole will be a
grand one. The second days pro-
gramme is now so far along as to insure
most unique and novel parade and
attendant attractions. The military fea-
ture will be particularly interesting, as
the winning organizations in the compe-
tltion drill will have the right of the line.
The Immediate escort of Lord Baltimore
will be arrayed in the most gorgeous
costumes of two and a half centuries ago.
Cecellus will be accompanied by Rex
and the Carnival Court, Momus, Comus,
the Yelled Prophet and other royal
personages of the famous mystic circles
of the South. The tahleauE following.
showing the progress Baltimore has made
the past two hundred and fifty years,
will constitute particularly interesting
feature of the parade, as the citizens
have become very enthusiastic over it.
That the mystic pageant of Thursday
night will surpass all efforts of the kind
ever before attempted in the United
States, if not indeed in the world, is
now foregone conclusion. 1t will be a
marvel of splendor, of majestic proper
tons and of superb costuming,
The participation alone of the celebra
ted mystic societies of the country rem
ders it an unparalleled demonstration;
but when are added the matchless
divisions of the Order Of the Oriole, it
is perfectly safe to ciaim that nothing to
approach the pageant as a whole was
ever before attempted. Aside from all
othes systems OF Illuminating the route,
there will be four hundred bearers of
patent lights, constructed especially for
the purpose, and each light having four
burners.
The utmost care is being taken to
insure the convenience and comfort of
all visitors. No increase will be made
in the charges at the hotels or boarding
houses, and a complete list is being made
of all places in the city where eccommo-
dations can be had, and the price thereof
These lists will be printed and circulated
at the railroad depots and throughout
the city in large number.
The Baltimore & Ohio, as character
lstic of the management, has thrown
open its entire system-main line, di-
visions and branches-to the exceedingly
low rate of one half the regular fare, or
one fare for the round trip.
Every effort will be made to satisfy
the most exacting as to time, comfort
in transit and number of trains. A
large accession of new coaches and motive
power render certain the accommodation
of all who may come.
Ticket Agents anywhere will cheerfully
furnish ali information in detail.
