The busy note Of preparation In
Baltimore for the coming Summer
Nights Carnival is heard ON all sides
and the city appears TO he waking M
as never before to the determination
to make this years celebration Ger
tainly the biggest event of the char
acter ever conceived OF in this or any
other country. The novel features
being steadily added to the already
most brilliant programme speaks
strongly of the striking talent pos
sessed among the good citizens who
spend day and night in planning and
executing.
The city Examinations promise to
be upon most extensive scale, and
almost altogether in the electric line.
Many buildings will be literally
ablaze with bright lights in all colors,
and it is proposed to demonstrate in
hitherto untried fields what can be
done with electricity.
The harbor display on the opening
night will be as unique as possible to
imagine, and a veritable fairy scene.
Every description of light will be
introduced, and the pyrotechnical
features novel and of great scope of
design. Baltimore, as the nearest
Atlantic seaport to an enormous sec
tion of country, will show her unsur-
passed harbor to the multitude after
a fashion never before dreamed of.
The reception of Lord Baltimore on
the night in question, with all its at
tendant effects, will be something to
remember for years, and amply repay
journey even across the continent.
Pageant night will also prove another
memorable occasion, for never in
European or American cities has a
parade of such magnitude or of such
remarkable richness and novelty been
attempted. Last years pageant was
conceded by New Orleans mystic
experts themselves, as well as those
from Mobile, Memphis, Galveston
and st. Louis, to have been beyond
all comparison the grandest pageant
ever witnessed in this country. If
such was the unanimous verdict last
year it would be difficult to measure
the limit Of praise this year, as the
pageant, now in its finishing stage, is
inestimably superior, larger, grander,
and in every way finer than that of
1882. 1t will require a regiment of
men and horses To put it upon the
street-upward of thirteen hundred
men and two hundred and sixty odd
horses. Thirty thousand dollars
would not begin to cover the expense
OF this one display. From this pros
pective visitors may CLEAN some idea
of what is in store for them. Net
only will expectation during soioairn
in the city the second week in Sep
TENDER be more than realized, but
travel to and from will be looked
after with most painstaking care.
The Baltimore and Ohio, not con
tent with making the exceptionally
low rate Of half fare, or one regular
fare for the round trip from all sta
tions on its great system, but has ar
ranged series of excursions which
will afford the greatest possible IA
cilities for enjoyment. The visitor
cannot indeed find q single point to
criticise, for should he so choose he
need not have an hour unoccupied
during his entire weeks pleasure
hunting. What with trips to Har-
per's Ferry, to Old Point Comfort, to
Fortress Monroe, to Mount Vernon,
Luray Caverns, to Washington, and
the Oriole in Baltimore, the man who
could complain would certainly growl
if he had the earth. The B. q O. has,
with characteristic enterprise, issued
an elegantly engraved programme,
and which can be had for the mere
trouble Of an application to any of
its representatives or at any of its
offices throughout the country.
The B. u 0. excursions announced
for September afford opportunities
for pleasue-seeking unprecedented of
late years. With the solidity of Or
ganization maintained by the pool
of the eastern lines and the rules of
maintaining rates SO rigidly observed,
half fare for any event is a big thing,
and no telling when it will be offered
again.
