Oriole matters appear 10 be progressing
| most favorably in Baltimore, aud every day
adds some feature to the already brilliant
series Of festivities arranged for. Negotia-
| lions are pending for the presence in the
| city of the famous Gilmore Band, Of New
| York, in addition to the celebrated Marine
| Band, of Washington. These noted musical
organizations and the great number of others
| OF similar character from Philadelphia,
washington and Baltimore, will fill the air
with melody during the week aid largely in
| crease the enjoyment. The crack military
companies entering for the competitive drill
| from New York, Philadelphia, Washington,
the South and West, insures O. struggle for
| the magnificent prizes offered which cannot
but prove one of the most notable OF its kind
| ever known. A pleasing feature OF the
grand parade OF all the military to the drill
| ground in the beautiful Druid Hill park
| will BE- the escort of the Grand Army of the
| Republic. There thirty odd posts in the
State of Maryland which will participate,
| and with them a large number of posts
| from Pennsy lvania, District of Columbia
| aud other sections. The parade of the Grand
Army will be very imposing one, and to-
| gether with the splendid display to be made
! oy the military organizations, will be most
| fitting commentator of the anniversary OF
| the battle of North Point, as il occurs on that
| day, September 18th. 1t was the gallant de-
Tense of Colonel Armistead and his brave
men that led TO Keys inspiration to write
| the "SLar Spangled Banner" stately mon
ument to Armistead will be unveiled on the
| 18th, and the immediate descendants of Key
have been specially invited 10 attend, as have
| also the few survivors OF the battle, "The
| Old Defenders" as they have so long been
| lovingly termed. The old flag itself, it is
| hoped, will be secured, it being in the pos
session OF descendant of Colonel Armistead.
| The Grand Army Post aking the finest APP
| pearance upon parade will be presented with
a superb stand OF colors Secretsry-of- War
| Lincoln will upon his return TO Washington
announce the three United States army
officers who will constitute the Board OF
Judges for the competitive drill and also
make the award of the Grand Amy colors
New interest has been given the second
day by the arrival in this country of Lord
Sir William Eden, a direct descendant of
Lord Baltimore, and who will be a distin-
guished guest on the second day OF the festi-
val, the 18th, and which will be Lord Bslti-
more day. The arrangements for the day
are upon a most elaborate scale, and it
promises TO eclipse even the great day of the
Sesqui- Centennial. The parade will be an
immense one and divided into five grand
divisions. The first, the military, the right
OF the line held by the winning company in
the previous days competition. To the mill
itary organization making the finest show ON
parade a magnificent set OF marquers will be
presented, and this will serve to still further
increase the pleasant rivalry between the
military organizations. The second division
will be constituted of uniformed societies,
and will be exceedingly large and at
tractive. The Oriole Executive Committee
will present costly silken banner to the |
society making the best appearance, and in |
addition the special committee having the |
division In charge propose 10 offer second |
beautiful prize. The third division will be |
the immediate Escort and guard OF honor to |
Lord Baltimore and his distinguished peers
Rex, Comus, Menus, Veiled Prophet, Mem. |
phil, Proteus, Infant Mystics and Cowbel- |
lions.
The royal party will arrive by steamer,
and the scene upon the waters of the harbor |
will be one long to be remembered. As the |
steamer conveying the notable party enters
the harbor salutes will be fred by the United
States ships of war and Fort McHenry. The
honor paid by the war ships will be of the
highest Oh aracter, the yards manned and all
colors flying. the way up the harbor will
be marked BY peculiarly attractive process

many OF the vessels discharging the Japa-
nese day fireworks. Daring the Sesqui- Cen
tennial the water parade was considered one
of the finest displays of the week, but this
year it will be TAR more brilliant. Upon the
arrival OF Lord Baltimore and party they
will be seated in carriages and driven 10
place in line. The entire party will be closely
masked aud alfred in the magnificent royal
costumes of the centuries ago. The guard of
honor, mounted cavalcade, and in fact the
division entire will form a most brilliant
spectacle, as all will be i'll exceedingly rich
and costly costumes.
The fourth division will embrace the de-
partments of the municipality, fire, police,
etc, and make a very fine and effective
showing. The fifth division will be The

emarkable event OF the character known in {
his country. In no one respect will this be {
certified than as to the nj ght pageant, Thurs
lay, the 18th. 1t will be unparalleled as to

ocieties of the South aud West, and the tab 1

nd the congress OF all at Baltimore next L
Month will of itself be worthy a weeks c
quincy TO witness. 1t will be an
vent of a Lifetime, no one can q
ell if such a gathering will a

order will permit its own pageant to suffer a
" comparison with those of the famed or
auizations OF the South and West no one at |
II acquainted with the Gberality and enter t
rise of the city can for a moment think c
'robable. The pageant of Thursday night,

aZzling spectacle ever witnessed in this or t
ny other country. This is saying much, I
nut every word Of it will be established as
