BoOMING BIG,
Baltimore Tremendously Eathnsea Over Me
approaching 0riOle, aud NeV Attrac-
tioas being ContinuaHy Added.

The Baltimore 0riolo is having tremen>
dous booms and the indications point unmis>
tRkably to the greatest demonstration ever
made in the Monumental City. Tho hearty
endorsement of the railroad companies and
other COMPUTATIONS, the leading commercial
houses aud business interests generally in the
shape of the most generous subscriptions,
render the matter of money one of no anxiety
to the committee, aud enables them to devote
their whole time to pertecting the details of
the three days festivities.
The responses from tho military Organizes
tions invited to enter into competition for the
splendid prizes offered, are of such nature
as to insure most spirited contest. The
military parade on the morning Of the 12th,'
and prior to the competitive drill, will be
strikingly brilliant aud Of remarkable exs
tent. All the competing organizations will
on parade present their fullest ranks, from
which the company OF thirty>six will be se-
lected to contend for tho prizes.
Several of these organizations number from
two to four hundred men, and it is now con-
templated to offer magnifcent silken ban>.
ner to the organization making the finest APP
pearance In the parade. The Maryland reg>
iments, butallions and companies will turn out
in full force, aud the display as q whole will
be grand one. Tho second days pros
gramme is now SO far along as to insure
most unique and novel parade and attendant
attractions. Tho military feature will be par
ticularly Interesting, as tho winning organi.
cations in tho competition drill will have the
right of the line. The immediate escort of
Lord Baltimore will be arraycd in the most
gorgeous costumes of two and half centuries
ago. Cccelius will be accompanied by Rox
and the Carnival Court, Momus, Oomus, the
Yelled Prophet and other royal peTsonages of
the famous mystic circles Of tho South. Tho.
tabcaux following, showing tho progress Ball
timore has made the past two hundred and
fifty years, will constitute particularly in>
teresting feature of the parade, as the cit-
izens have become very enthusiastic over il.
That tho mystic pageant of Thursday night
will surpass all efforts of the kind ever before
attempted in the United States, if not indeed
in tho world, is now aforeeone oouclusion.-.
It will DO a marvel of splondor, of majestic
proportions and Of superb oostuming.
The participation Rlonc of tho ceIcbrated
mystic societies Of the country renders il an
unparalleled demonstration but whom arc
added the rnatchless divisions of tho Order of
the Orio!o, it is perfectly safe to claim that
nothing TO appronch the pageant as a whole
was over before attempted. Aside from all
other systems of illuminating the route. there
will DO four hundred bearers Of patent lights,
constructed especially Tor the purpose, aud
each light having four burners.
The utmost care is being taken to insure
tho convenience and comfort of all visitors.
No increase will be msde in the charges at
the hotels or boarding houses, and u complete
list is being made of all places in the city
where RECOMMENDATIONS can bo had, and tho
price thereof. These. lists will be printed
and circulated at tho railroad depots and
throughout the CITY in largo number
The Baltimore & Ohio, as characteristic Of
the management, has thrown open its entire
systous-main line, divisions and branches
to the exceedingly low rate of one>half tho
regular fare, or one faro for tho round trip.
Every effort will bo made to satisfy tho
most exacting "a to time, comfort in transit
and number of trains. A large accession Of
new coaches and motive power re6dor certain
tho accom- mmodation of all who may come.
