BALTIMORE TREMENDOUSLY ENTHUs1D
OVER THE APPROACHING ORIoLE AND
NEW ATTRACTIONS BEING CONTINUAL
LY ADDED.
The Baltimore Oriols is having ire
mendous boom, and the indications point
unmistskably to the greatest demonstra-
ton ever made IN the Monumental City.
The hearty endorsement of the railroad
companies and other corporations, the
leading commercial houses and business
interests generally in the shape OF the
most generous subscriptions, render the
matter of money one of no anxiety to tho
committee, and enables them to devote
their whole time to perfecting the details
of the three days festivities.
The responses from the military organi-
cations invited to enter into competition
for the splendid prizes offered, are of such
a nature as to ensure the most spirited
contest. The military parade on the morn
ing of the 18th, and prior to the competi-
tive drill, will be strikipgly brilliant and
of remarkable extent. All the compe-
ting organizations will on parade present
their fullest ranks. from which the compa-
ny of thirty-sx will be selected to contend
for the prizes.
Several of these organizations number
from two to four hundred men, and it is
now contemplated to offer magnificent
silken banner to the organization making
the finest appearance in the parade. The
Maryland regiments. batallioAs and CON-
panies will turn out in full force, and the
display as whole will be grand one.
The second days programme is now SO
far along as to insure most unique and
novel parade and attendant attractions.
The military feature will be particularly
interesting, as the winning organizations
in the competitive drill will have the right
of the line. The Immediate escort of Lord
Baltimore will be arrayed in the most gor.
geOus costumes of two and bali centu-
ries ago. Cecelius will be accompanied
by Rex and the Carnival Court. Momus,
Comus, the Yelled Prophet and other
royal personages of the famous mystic
circles of the South. The tableaux follow
ing, showing the progress Baltimore has
made the past two hundred and fifty
years. Will constitute particularly inter-
esting feature of The parade, as the citi-
zens have become very enthusiastic
over it.
The pageant is upon Thursday Night,
September 14th, and the Orios portion of
it will consist Of two grand divisions. the
most extensive display of the kind ever at
tempted by any one organization in the
United States.
The first division Of the pageant will be
memorable one, as it will display repre-
sentative floats of the Oldest and most ia
nous of the Mystic Organizations of the
country. Indeed the division will include
Tableau Cars by all the Mystic Organizs-
lions of the South and West. There will
be Rex and his Court from New Orleans,
Comus and his Crewe, Menus and his
Knights, and the Knights of Proteus, all
OF New Orleans. The yelled Prophets Of
st. Louis: the MemIhii of Memphis; Mo-
mus and his knights of Galveston; the
Cowbellians, Infant Myths and Strikers
of Mobile.
The participation alone of the celebra-
ted mystic societies of the country renders
it All unparalleled demonstrations; but when
are added the matcllless divisions of the
Order Of the Oriole. 1t ia perfectly safe to
claim that nothing to approach the pa
geant as a whole was ever before attempt
ed. Aside from all other systems Of illu-
minating the route. there will be four
hundred bearers OF patent lights, con-
structed especially for the purpose, and
each light having four burners.
