were In the PROCESSION.
Rarely In the history OF Baltimore hai
anything attracted more attention on Bald
more streets, the principal thoroughfari
through which the procession passed.
Business wis almost entirely suspended ant
the sidewalks were so crowded that pedes
trianism was nearly impossible. The line
OF street-ears traversing the selected eonrs
OF the march wero withdrawn and all sort
Of vehicles were obliged to fad other chan
nels.
| It Is impossible TO estimate the humble
Of people on the streets, but for two hour
before the time appointed for the line +
move the streets In every direction re
sounded with music OF the different assem-
blies making their way to the general ren
devious on Broadway. From one end G
the vast column TO the other, th
most perfect order was observed and
rarely occurs that finer looking body @
men Is to be seen anywhere. Every indus
trial avocation In the city was representa-
and there were large numbers OF visitor
principally from localities within the stat
! OF Maryland, hut thore were some fror
J Washington and from near points In Penn
sylvania. All the appointments were III
ranged and carried out with good taste IN
the occasion, the first demonstration Of tn
, bone and sinew OF Baltimore, will long b
I remembered.
