Wilmington and Dover, Delaware;
Lancaster, York, Waynesboro and
other Pennsylvania towns; Rich
mond, Norfolk and Alexandria,
Virginia; Annapolis, Cumberland,
Hagerstown, Frederick, Cambridge,
Easton, Laurel, Ellicott City, West
minister, Williamsport, and, in fact,
almost all the towns of this state.
There will be between $4,000
and 45, 900 men in each days par
ade and there will be enough music
to make the line a long melodious
procession from start to finish.
The parade September 18th will be
a military pageant of National
Guardsmen from several states and
regulars loaned by Uncle Sam.
The second day will present to the
countless spectators an industrial
display of magnificent floats, sup
plemented by thousands OF Germans
in a German Division and thous
ands of members of the Jr. o. U.
A. NJ. The third days procession
will be composed of all the fire
companies of Baltimore and as
many as possible of the out-of- town
companies who helped subdne the
big fire, all with their apparatus.

A. Nevills, the San Francisco capital
ist and one of the owners of the Raw
hide mine in Calaveras county, is SELL
ing out all of his extensive interests,
vineyards and ranch lands about
Fresno. This morning the sale of Par
agon vineyard, adjoining Kearney
park, was closed for about $50,O00 to
local capitalists. The place consists of
eighty acres with a handsome home,
whose furnishings alone cost over $10,-
900. Included in the deal is private
power line, the building of which led
to bitter clash between Nevills and
M. Theo Kearney some years ago.
Captain Nevills expects to record
the sale of the famous La Favorita

and handsome grounds and houses.
There are 800 acres in it and 1t Is
considered one of the finest ranches In
