officers of the parade and the reception COM
mittee. C. II. Vanderford proposed the toast
1.-The Volunteer Military of Maryland which
was responded to by Col VIM. A. Mckellip,
and then other toasts were responded to by
Col. Brown, Col. Maulsby and Capt. j. S. b.
Hartsock.
While the officers were at dinner Prof. Itzel
took the Fifth Regiment Band out on the
upper porch of the City Hotel and gave an
open air concert. The Band was in good
trim and the music was greatly enjoyed by the
large crowd gathered on the streets below.
Such excellent music was never before heard
in Westminster. ~
Between and O. clock the military took
the cars for home, and shortly after the large
crowds disappeared also. By O'Clock most
of the saloons and business places were closed
and Westminster became quieter than usual.
The best of order prevailed during the
day. There were no arrests, though four
Baltimore detectives were here and Sheriff
Shower had an extra number of deputies on
duty. There were several slight accidents,
yet the wonder is that there were not serious
ones, considering the dense crowds and the
reckless driving of some persons.
Altogether the parade was success, and
the affair will be known as the most enjoyable
and largest of the kind that ever took place
in Westminster. There were more visitors
here than ever before, and all expressed them
selves as highly pleased with the parade and
with the city. 1t was good day for business
men, Interviews with many of them indicate
that fully S25, 900 were left here, and many of
the buyers were persons who never had been
in Westminster before. AVS
HOW GUESTS WERE PLEASED.
The Carnival Committee have received
letters of thanks for the kind reception ac
corded them from George Savage, ESQ.,, of
Bond Guards, and the Frederick Rihemen
passed resolutions to the same effect on their
return home on Monday night. The officers
of the Fifth Regiment and other visiting mil
itary expressed much qualification at their re-
ception by the committee and citizens, and all
enjoyed the parade.
WHAT THE PRESS SAYS.
From the Baltimore american Westmin-
ster to day was painted glowing carnival red.
In ancient days Rome, fthe City of Seven
Hills" surpassed all other places of the world
in the splendor of its professions; to-day
Westminster, the modern City of Seven
Hills" doomed forth in carnival which has
already pinched Hagerstown's municipal toe
and cause Frederick to turn an envious green.
Fros, the Baltimore Sun: Under a clear
sky and bright sun tho Westminster carnival
to day was great success.
From the Baltimore Herald; The demon
straton was an undoubted success, more than
equahng expectations. 1t is estimated that
there were from II, 900 to 5000 people in the
city. The crowd, while it was the largest that
ever visited Westminster, was at the same
time the most orderly.
From the Mechanicstown Clarion: As
military and musical display, and in point of
attesGaRae, the carnival was an eminent sue
cess. The civic part of the procession was
large and some of the floats were finely gotten
up. From provincial town, of little import
ance even within the county, Westminster has
risen in importance, and is now recognized as
being one of the pushing and energetic centres
in the state.
Frog the Hagerstown Globe: The West
minister Carnival, Monday, was pronounced a
decided success by those of our eiti.eHs Yha
witnessed the demonstration. The number
of witnesses is variously estimated from ten
to fifteen thousand persons The military
and other organizations were banqueted by
the citizens, and the kindest hospitality was
shawn the visitors. 4l2 2 pE ls5l-| .
