ALL THE MYSTIC SOCIETIES To PARTICIPATE, AND THE
THREE DAYS TO BE REMARKABLY BRILLIANT.
There appears almost literally no end to the new
features being constantly added to the festival
programme and, practically, the whole week VIII
be given over to one steady series OF en1OymentS
Baltimore Is a big place. ranking high up among
the great cities OF the country in point OF popul-
ton, while IN many interests she stands first. AL
though having reputation for conservatism, it is
OF that character which fnsures thorough hand

The first city in all the land to inaugurate rail-
road construction, the b. and o. being the pioneer
passenger railway or the world, and most

country Never have any TWO OF the societies ever
appeared In single pageant. and never have they
appeared In any way In conjunction.

viii be remarkable event, and as the visiting
CARNATIONS are composed OF the leading merchants
and citizens OF the cities named, the gathering at
baltimore Is grand compliment 10 that city.
Those Who have depl0reii their Inability TO visit
New Orleans and witness there the marvellous dis
play OF Mard Gras times may in one evening at
Baltimore behold the typical brilliancy OF all four
OF the Crescent citys greatest societies More than
thiS, those who have long desired to look upon the
Yelled Prophets OF St Louis. the famous societies
OF Mobile, Memphis and Galveston, here have the
opportunity OF witnessing all In one. Thus much
as to the visiting societies, and when IL is also
remembered that the Order of the Oriole being at
home cannot for moment think OF permitting
Baltimore to be ecpsed by other cities, some faint
conception may be cleaned Of what the pageant
as whole VIII be. The OrlOle has for months
been closely and most diligently at work upon its
divisions or the grand pageant, and they Will be
the most imposing and greater In number than
ever before attempted by any one society. Last

Who question what this years result Will be had

but when is added the divisions of the Oriole the
general effect Will be fairly beyond description.
