Parade Around Race CopFse.
The barkers and the fake shows had
things all their own way during the
morning. The exhibits were not sighted.
and every Offering of Montgomery was
Inspected by thousands.
At O'Clock iii the afternoon, just before
the races began. the crowd was treated
TO an exceptional feature, when, headed
by a corps of mounted marshals and the
Woodsboyo brass band, of Frederick, the
governor Of Maryland and the Demo-
cratic candidates on the State ticket got
into their carriages and began a process
sion around the inclOsure of the race
course. The crowd forgot its partisan
ship, cheered the dignitaries TO the echo.
and called on all of them for speeches,
but none responded.
During the luncheon hour that pre-
ceded this pageant, there was scarcely
room in the grounds for the abundance
of white tablecloths which threatened
TO engulf the whole inclOsUre, and would
have caused the tardy arrival to think
II was showing. Every imprOvised table
was presided over by dainty Maryland
damsel, and the way Maryland biscuits,
tender fried chicken. also a la Maryland,
sliced ham. and other delicacies disap-
peared showed that the air OF Aontgom-
cry is very appeuzing.
