OrioIe md New Attraction
being Continually Added.
! The Baltimore Oriole is having q
tremendous boom, and the indications
lpoint Enthusiastically to the greatest
demonstration ever made in the Mon
umental City. The hearty endorse
ment Of the railroad companies and
other corporations, the leading com
mercial houses and business interests
generally in the shape of the most
generous subscriptions, render the
matter of money ne Of no anxiety to
the committee, and enables them to
devote their whole time to perfecting
the details Of the three days fes-
tivities.
The responses from the military
organizations invited to enter into
competition for the splendid prizes
offered, are of such nature as to in
sure a most spirited contest. The
military parade ON the morning of the
18th, and prior to the competitive
drill, will be strikingly brilliant and
Of remarkable extent. All the
competing organizations will on par
ade present their fullest ranks, from
which the company Of thirty-si will
be selected to contend for the prizes.
Several of these organizations num-
Der from two to four hundred men,
and it is now contemplated to offer a
magnificent silken banner to the or
ganization making the finest appear
ance in the parade. The Maryland
regiments, battallions and companies
will turn out in force, and the display
as whole will be grand one. The
second days programme is now 50
far along as to insure a most unique
and novel parade and attendant at
fractions. The military feature will
be particularly interesting as the
winning organizations in the compe-
tition 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. Cecilius will be ac-
companied by Rex and the Carnival
Court, Menus, Comus, the Yelled
Prophet and other royal personages
of the famous mystic circles of the
Sonth. The tablcaux following,
showing the progress Baltimore has
made the past two hundred and fifty
years, will constitute q particularly
interesting feature of the parade, as
the citizens have become very enthu-
siastic over it.
That the mystic gageant of Thurs
day night will surpass all efforts of
the kind ever before attempted in the
United States, if not indeed in the
world, is now a foregone conclusion.
1t will be a marvel of splendor, of
majestic proportions and of superb
costuming.
The participation alone of the cele-
brated mystic societies of the coun-
try renders it an unparalleled demon
stration; but when are added the
matchless divisions of the Order Of
the Oriole, it is perfectly safe to claim
that nothing to approach the pageant
as whole was ever before attempted.
Aside from all other systems of IL
Illuminating the route, there will be
four hundred bearers of patent lights,
constructed especially for the pur-
pose, and each light having four
burners.
The utmost care is being taken to
insure the convenience and comfort of
all visitors. No increase will he
made in the charges at the hotels or
boarding houses, and complete list
is being made of all places in the
city where accommodations can be
had, and the price thereof. These
lists will be printed and circulated
at the railroad depots and through
out the city in large number.
The Baltimore d Ohio, as charac-
teristic OF the management, has
thrown open it's entire system-main
line, divisions and branches the
exceedingly low rate of onc-half the
regular fare, or one fare for the round
trip.
Every effort will be made to satisfy
the most exacting as to time, COM
fort in transit and number of
trains. A large accession of new
coaches and motive power render GER
tain the accommodation Of all who
may come.
Ticket Agents anywhere will cheer
fully furnish all information in detail
