SEPTEMBER'S SURPRISES.
LIVELY FALL IN PASSENGER RATES, AND
EVENTS IN STORE WHICH WILL GREATLY
EXCEED EXPECTATIONS.

The busy note of preparation in BaIti.
more 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 tbis
years celebration certainly the biopest
event of the character ever conceived es
in this or any other country. 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 executing.
The city illuminations promise to be
upon most extensive scale, and almost
altogether in the electric line. MANY
buildings will be literally abIa1e with
bright lights in all colors, and it is pro-
posed 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 vsritable fairy scere.
Every description Of light will be intro
dused, and the pyrotechnical features
novel and of great scope of design. Bal.
tlmore, as the nearest Atlantic seaport To
an enormous section of country. will
show her unsurpassed harbor to the
multitude after fashion never before
dreamed of. The receptionof Lord Bal
timore on the night in question. with
all its attendant effects, will be sometime
to remember for years, and amply repay

Pageant night will also prove another
memorable occasion, for never in Enr-
opean or American cities has q parade of
SUCH magnitude or of such remarkable
richness and novelty been attempte5.

beyondall comparison the grandest naoe-
ant ever witnessed in this country. If
such was the unanimous verdict last yeor
1T would be difficult to measure the limit
OF praise tins year. as the pageant, now
III its nhlshlng stage, is inestimable su-
perlor: larger, grander, and in every way
1lner than that of 1882. 1t will require
regiment of men and horses to put it
upon the street-upward of thirteen hun
dred men and two hundred and sixtv
odd horses. Thirty thousand dollars
would not begin to cover the expense of
this one display. From this prospeetiye
visitors may CLEAN some idea of what ia
IN store for them. Not only will expec-
tatlon during sojourn in the citv the
second week in September be more than
realized, but travel to and from will be-
looked after with most painstaking care.
Inc Baltimore and Ohio, not content
with making the exceptionally low rate
OF nall fare, or one regular fare for the
round trip from all stations on its great
system, but has arranged a. series of
excursions which will afford the greatest
possible facilities for ENJOYMENT. The
visitor cannot indeed find a single point

talnly growl if he had the earth. The
b. q. O. has, with characteristic enter
prize, issued an elegantly engraved pro-
gramme, and which can be had for the
mere trouble of an application to any of

rigidly observed, half fare for anv event
