the general effect will be fairly be-
You'd description.
Military Day, Tuesday, 18th, Lord
Baltimore Day, Wednesday, 18th,
and Mystic Day, Thursday, 14th,
will all present wonderfully varied
attractions. On Military Day the
parade will be a most memorable
one. The entire military of the
State will parade and form an escort
to the visiting military, among
whom will be battalion of the State
Fencibles of Philadelphia, the City
Guards of Scranton, Pa, the bat
talions of the Light Infantry and
the National Rifles of Washington,
and the lst Regiment National
Guards of Virginia, the Treadway
Guards of st. Louis, Companies of
the 9th New Jersey Regiment and
Of the 18th and 18th Regiments of
New York, the Guards of Front
Royal, Va, the Light Infantry of
Petersburg, Va, the Norfolk Blues,
Richmond Blues, and numerous
other organizations not as yet re-
ported, together with II. S. Army
troops and artillery. The competi-
ton among these splendid companies
for the prizes OF 81 $50, $500 and $3.50
will most assuredly be exciting.
The Grand Army of the Republic,
not only Of Maryland, but with large
populations from Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and other States, will take
part in the Grand Parade, as will
also the Fire Department of Balti-
more, with numerous visiting COM
panies from adjoining cities, the
competition for prizes being open to
all.
The second day will be as replete
with attractions as the first, the pa
rade being Of a different character
and in many respects decidedly
novel and unique. The reception Of
Lord Baltimore will be accompanied
by peculiarly striking and effective
details. The military, the uniform
ed societies and the trades all parade
in honor Of Ceeelius. The trade pa
rade will embrace upwards of hun
bred very grandly gotten up ta-
bleau cars, illustrative of the city's
material interests. A new feature
Of Wednesday is the novel night pa
rade of steam vessels in the harbor,
all of them most brilliantly illumi-
mated and disoharging fireworks.
This promises to be a decidedly
unique thing in every way.
On Thursday the Baltimore BIZ
cycle Club has arranged for a grand
meeting, and in offering most lib
eral series Of prizes has secured the
attendance of the most noted wheel
men in the country. The clubs of
adjacent cities will visit Baltimore
IN strong numbers, aud will unques-
tlonably be one of the largest and
most interesting meetings known
since the invention of the bicycle.

is most emphatically to be com
mended. 1t is Baltimore's greatest
corporation, and may always be
counted upon to stand by its friends,
not only in the Monumental City
but all along its entire line. The
rate by the b. IL o. is only one-half
the regular fare, or one fare for the
round trip, and will be in force on
the lines, divisions and branches
owned by the Company. More than
this, it's Immediate connecting lines
have made the same rates, and thus
not only is Chicago, Columbus,
Pittsburg and all the intervening
