AT ST. PAUL.
ST. PAUL, MINI. Sept. l.
Upon the arrival of Henry Willard and
his guests at ST. Paul, yesterday morning,

abundance of carriages, to which the party
proceeded. The soldiers were drawn up in
front of the depot, presenting an imposing
appearance, and the military bands filled
the air with music. AS the procession
moved up Third street from the
depot an ovation of the most elegant
character greeted every side. The
buildings were profusely decorated with
flags and banners streaming; beautiful arch
ways were at every corner; and at the june
ton of Cedar street there was an archway
of unusual size, surmounted by gilded
dome, which was supposed to represent
semi-hemisphere. Upon this archway was
large likeness of President Willard and the
greeting: ''St. Paul welcomes her guests
right heartily, and does honor to the North
ern Pacific Railway"
Some beautiful young ladies in white oe-
cupied the stand beneath the aFchway and
showered bouquets upon the guests. I'm
mediately following the arehway, ON either
side of the street, were long stands gayly
decorated, and there stood hundreds of fan
cifully dressed little girls, who also showered
bouquets into the carriages. Down ey
cry street. so far IS the eye could reach,
was seen dense crowds of people packing
either side, while every building was literal
ly draped in gorgeous decorations. This
is the greatest day St Paul has ever known"
was remarked by the Oldest citizens.
The procession, which was two hours
passing given point, included the military,
the Fire Department, leading citizens, and

NEXT WEEKS EVENTS.
A Series of Good Things Embracing a
Weeks Trip without a Parallel
In Summer Excursions.

The interest in the grand series of
excursions over the B. g. o. to Baltimore,
Washington, Harper's Ferry, Fortress
Monroe, Mount Vernon, etc, increases
as the time draws near. Certainly no
such attractive a programme has been
offered by any great railway line for
years. There is almost no end to the en-
jOyment provided. OF course Baltimore
will be the base of operations, all the
special trips named being from the Oriole
city. The B. s. O.s tickets will be good
to Baltimore, and sold at the half rate,
that is to say, one regular fare for the
round trip. Once in Baltimore, the ex-
cursionist may enjoy himself at will II
he concludes to GO on all the special ex-
cursiOns he does SO and pays accordingly.
If only part of them, then he pays for
those and no more. In none of them,
then he pays for none This certainly is
the only fair basis upon which such Sc
ries of excursions could be arranged, and
must meet the endorsement of all inter
ested. Washington is but forty miles
from Baltimore, the Baltimore Il Ohio
railroad running trains between the two
cities in the lightning time of fifty min
utes. The fare for the round trip will be
only dollar and twenty cents. Baltimore
is already getting into her holiday attire;
stands are going up everywhere, and as
for Examinations and the general lighting
of the streets. nothing like it was ever
before attempted on the continent. The
idea of making the affair a Summer
Nights Carnival was capital one, as not
only are effects gained at night of most
novel character, but time is given during
the day for excursionists to visit points OF
interest within and about the city. The
scene in the harbor on the night
of the arrival of Lord Baltimore win be
something to remember for years, while
the mystic pageant on the last night Of
the Carnival will be as vision-a bright
and wonderful dream. The Mystic Order
of the 0riolc will Issue programme on
the opening day of the festival which for
artistic beauty, well written descriptive
matter and graphic portrayal of the pa.
geant will be wholly without precedent.
