1t is said that Baltimore had never be
fore witnessed so large demonstration
as that of Wednesday last. the third day
Of its homecoming celebration. when the
fraternal societies OF Maryland had their
parade 1t was made state holiday
and the stores and Offices and homes
emptied themselves on the streets in ce.e-
bTation.
The planning of the details for tire
fraternal day parade was in the hands
of Grand Marshal John VI Deponai and
his chief Of staff, Gen. John Is Schwatka
Fully 1000 men and women We're in tn"
parade. and it took two hours and ten
minutes TO pass the city hall stand. At
all the stands along the line OF march
and along tie sidewalks the paradtTs
were cheered to the echo
While each Individual organization
made good showing says the Am"ri-
can, there were some that were more
conspicuous through the members in lines
and the floats displayed. Among these
We're the Improved order Of Heptasophs
which had 1000 men and women in line
and in carriages and eight bands; Junior
Order United American Mechanics. with
=, 600 men and women and five floats and
four bands, Independent order odd Fol
lows, with 300 men and women. ten
floats and five bands; Ancient order Of
Hibernians, with 1000 men and several
bands; Improved Order of Red Men, with
The ladies' who took part in the parade
We're members of the female auXiliaries
to the various organizations, and added
much 10 the elahOratenCSs Of the display.
All the uniformed bodies acquitted
themselves with much credit. The band
heading the HibernianS played Irish airs
all along the route, and stirred the blood
of those of Celtic origin until their on
thusasm could scarcely be kept within
bounds. An immense American flag car
ried by about fifty boys in the division of
the Patriotic Sons of America was a fea-
ture.
For two hours or more Gov Warheld
stood at his reviewing stand. at Bait
more and Liberty streets, and, hat in
hand, bowed his appreciation Of the plaud-
its of the marching thousands passing BE-
fore him. who can say that such
parade is not inspiring? said the governor.
Just look at all these men WIN tner
banners and their colors. 1t teaches a
tremendous lesson In patriotism. 1t IS
worth taking a day off to witness such q
splendid outpouring of the fraternal or
