SEPTEMBER'S SURPRISES.
A Lively Fall in Passenger Rates,
and Events in Store which will
Greatly Exceed Expectations.


The busy note of preparation in
Baltimore for the coming Summer
Nights Carnival is heard on all
sides, and the city appears to be
waking up as never before to the
determination to make this years
celebration certainly the biggest
event of the character ever con-
ceiYed of in this or any other coun-
try. The novel features being
steadily added to the already most
brilliant programme speaks strongly
of the striking talent possessed
among the good citizens who spend
day and night in planning and exc
cutting.
The city Examinations promise to
be upon a most extensive scale, and
almost altogether in the cleo ric
line. Many buildings will be lit
orally ablaze with bright lights IN
all colors, and it is proposed to
demonstrate in hitherto untried
fields what can be done with electrl-
city.
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 pyro..
technical features novel and OF
great scope of design. Baltimore,
as the nearest Atlantic seaport to
an enormous section of country,
will show her unsurpassed
harbor to the multitude after a
fashion never before dreamed Of.
The reception Of Lord Baltimore
on the night in question, with all Its
attended effects, will be something
to remember for years, and amply
repay a journey even across the con-
tinent. Pageant night will also
prove another memorable occasion,
for never in European or American
cities has a parade of such magni-
tude or of such remarkable richness
and novelty been attempted. Last
years pageant was conceded by
New Orleans mystic experts them
selves, as we'll as those FROM Mobile,
Memphis, Galveston and st. Louis,
to have been beyond all comparison
the grandest pageant ever witnessed
in tits 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 thir-
teen hundred men and two hundred
and sixty odd horses. Thirty thou
sand dollars would not begin to
cover the expense of this one dis
play. From this, prospective visit
orS may CLEAN some idea of what
is in store for them. Not only will
expectation during sojourn in the
city the second week in September
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 8 series of excursions which
will afford the greatest possible fac
iIities for enjoyment. The visitor
cannot indeed find single point to
critic'se, 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 Ver-
non, to Luray Caverns, to Washing
ton, and to the 0riole in Baltimore,
the man who could complain would
certainly groWl if he had the earth.
The B. and O. has, with character
istic enterprise, issued an elegantly
engraved programme, and which
can be had for the more trouble of
an application to any of its repre-
sentatives or at any Of the offices
throughout the country.
The B. s. o. excursions announced
for September afford opportunities
for pleasure-seeking unprecedented
of late years. With the solidity of
organization maintained by the pool
of the eastern lines and the rules OF
maintaining rates so rigidly OBJ
served, half fare for any event is a
big thing, and no telling when il
