MYSTIC PACEANTRY

NEVER EQUALED- IN THE WORLD.
On the Electric Night, Lord Baltimore will
arrive in the HarbOr of Baltimore upon one of
the finest steamers afioat, and which will lit
orally be a blaze of electrical Illumination
The Royal steamer will be escorted up the
harbor by from sixty to eighty tug boats, four
abreast, and each carrying electric lights in
various colors From all sides of the harhor
Fire Works in great profusion will be dis
charged from special barges stationed for such
purpose, and the spectacle as whole will be
an unprecedented one.
Arriving in the city, Lord Baltimore, his
Courtiers, Household and Officers will be es-
corted to the City Hall by most novel Mill
tary Parade-a thousand soldiers covered with
Electric Lights in different colors; horses with
electrical plumes, and the whole city present
ing a scene simply lndescribable.
ON PAGEANT NIGHT.
Another remarkable spectacle will be witness
ed, and effects produced never before attempt
ed in any city of the world.
The parade will be the grandest IN extent
known in the history of mystic pageantry.-
The costumes, all entirely new, were made in
Paris, aid beyond all comparison the finest
ever imported to this country. The unparal-
leled number of Forty Tableau Floats will be
| in line, and will be larger and more imposing
| in construction than ever before known
Some conception of the amazing extent of the
pageant may be CLEANED from the fact that
upwards of thirteen hundred men, two hun
dred and thirty horses, six bands and six
hundred carried lights are required to place it
upon the streets.
No advance will be made in the usual rates
for Hotel Accommodations either IN Balti-
more or Washington, visitors being enabled
