BALTIMORE, Sept 9.-The six days cele-
bration Of the anniversary of the defense OF
Baltimore, in our second war with Great
Britain, commenced here to-day. The events
to be celebrated were of national import
ance, and the fact that one Of them, the bonn,
bardment of Fort McHenry, inspired that
patriotic outburst in song, 1.-The Star Span
gled Banner" is sufficient of itself to give to
the Baltimore festival the national INTEREST,"
which has been recognized in the partic1pa-
ton of President Harrison, and the efforts OF !
the war and navy departments to contribute
to its success.
The last float passed the presidential stand
at O'Clock, the entire display having taken
four hours aud half to pass this point. The
presidential party, with the exception OF Sec,
rotary Window, who returned to Washington
at o'clock, were then driven to the Hotel
Rennert. In one of the parlors of the hotel
the mayor and members of the city council
presented to the president set or resolutions
adopted at their last meeting. welcoming him
to Baltimore and rendering him the freedom
and hospitality of the city, and requesting
that he hold public reception at the city
hall. Upon receiving the parchment PreSi-
dent Harrison said: 'Mr. Mayor and Gentle
men: assure you that 1t is with pleasure that
! have heard the cordial terms in which you
have welcomed me to Baltimore and rendered
me your hospitality, and l highly appreciate
your action. / have fetit an obligation upon
me to agree to any request that you might
make of me when came over on pubic
visit. There are things in which we all have
common interest, and I believe that 1t is
well to have these frequent interchanges OF
friendshis and hospitality between the presi-
dent Of the United States and the people. 1t
will give me great pleasure therefore, gentle
men, to place myself in the hands of the
committee and meet as many of the citizens
OF Baltimore personally as the time Will per-
nit" The presidential party and other in
