Greatly EGceed 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 determine ton
to make this years celebration GER
tainly the biggest event of the charac-
ter ever conceived 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 planning and executing.
The city Examinations promise to
be upon a 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 felds 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 in
troduced, and pyrotechnical 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 fash
ion never before dreamed of. The
reception Of Lord Baltimore on the
night In question, with all its attend
and effects, will be something to re
member for years, and amply repay a
journey even across the continent
Pageant night will also prove another
memorable occasion, for never in
European or American cities has
parade OF such magnitude or of such
remarkable richness aud novelty been
attempted. Last ys.r's pageant was
conceded by New Mystic Orleans ex-
perts themselves, as we'll as those from
Mobile, Msmphis, Galveston and st.
Louis, to have been beyond all COM
parison the grandest pageant ever
Witnessed in this country. If such
was the unanimous verdict last year
it would be difficult to meaeure the
limit of praise this year, as the pag-
cant, now in its finishing stage, is in
estimaly superior, larger, graader, and
every way finer than that of 1882.
1t will require regiment of men and
horses to put it upon the street-up-
ward 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 prospective visit
ors may CLEAN some idea of what is in
store for them. Not only will expect
alton during sojourn in the city the
second week in September bo more
than realized, but travel to and from
will be looked after with most pains.
taking care.
The Baltimore and Ohio net con-
tent with making the exceptionally
low rate of half fare or one regular
fare fer 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 en-
joyment. The visitor cannot indeed
find single point to cliticise, nor
should he so choose he need not have
an hour unoccupIed during bis entire
weeks pleasure hunting. What with
trips to HarPer's Ferry, to Old Point
Comfort, to Fortress Monroe, TO Mount
Vernon, TO Lu,ay Caverns, to Wash
ington, and to the Oriole in Baltimore,
the man vho could complain would
certainly growl if he had the earth.
The B. & 0. has, with characteristic
enterprise, issued an elegantly en-
graved programme, aud which can be
had for the mere trouble of an appli-
cation to any Of itS represen tatives or
at any Of its offices throughout the
country.
Tho B. & O. excursions announced
for September afford opportunities
for plessurS-seeksrs Unprecedented Of
late years. With the selidity of or
ganization maintained in the POOL OF
the eastern lines and the rules of
maintaining rates so rigidly observed
