Baltimorc's first day of the grand Blow
Out was an unqualified, immense and graft
flying success. The Trades parade excc!ed
anything ever seen in Baltimore and the
smoothness with which everything took its
place on the programme gives evidence of
the care taken and ability possessed by those
in charge. President Harrison reviewed the
parade and met with an enthusiastic and in
some respects, a novel reception, as he was
pclted with flowers, tea, tincups and other
material from the various floats as they pass
ed by. There were six divisions in the line,
as follows: the G. A. r.. Volunteer Fircmcn
and visiting companies Baltimore Fire De
partment; Societies and School Boys Sen =
timcnt and Business German Dlvision) !;
Growth of Baltimore, floats representing
every business under the sun.
1t required four hours for the procession
to pass q given point.
On Tuesday last hen belonging to Mr..
John II. Toms, living one mile south oftown
