TO BE UNVEILED TODAY

Confederate Monument Will Stand Forth In Its Beauty.

VETERANS WILL MARCH AGAIN

Capt. Geo. W. Booth, Mayor Hayes And Capt. MeHenry Howard To Be The Speakers.

The unveiling of the Confederate monument on Mount Royal avenue, between Lafayette avenue and Mosher street, this afternoon, promises to be the occasion of a notable gathering of representatives of the Southern cause in the Civil War.

The order of exercises, as previously announced in detail in THE SUN, will be followed. The monument will be presented to the city on behalf of the Daughters of the Confederacy by Capt. George W. Booth, and accepted on the part of the city by Mayor Hayes. Capt. McHenry Howard, who will be the orator of the day, will be introduced by Gen. A. C. Trippe.

The monument will be unveiled by two little girls, Misses Margaret Lloyd Trimble, great-granddaughter, of Maj.-Gen. Isaac R. Trimble, Confederate States Army, and Nannie Young Hardcastle, great-grand-daughter of Admiral Franklin Buchanan, Confederate States Navy.

A large platform, which will accommodate about 700 people, has been erected on Mount Royal avenue, adjoining the monument. To prevent overcrowding the committee in charge has given strict orders that nobody shall be admitted to the stand before 1 o’clock.

Ladies To Receive Flowers.

A committee of young ladies will be on hand at this time to receive offerings of flowers, which are to be placed at the base of the monument during the unveiling. Miss Ethel Hough, who will be chairman of this committee, will have as her asistants, Miss Anne Johnson Poe, Miss Emily Johnston Hoffman, Miss Charlotte Margaretta Taylor, Miss Nannie Dammann, Miss Louise Ogle Beall, Miss Ellen Powell and Miss Howard. The young ladies who have been invited to place the flowers during the exercises Include Miss Winder, granddaughter of Gen. Charles Sidney Win-der; Miss Alice Gilmor, daughter of Col. Harry Gilmor; Miss Emily Waters, niece of Gen. Arnold Elzey: Miss Mary Steuart, niece of Gen. George H. Stuart; Mrs. William Pinkney Whyte, Jr., daughter of Col. James R. Herbert; Miss Sullivan, granddaughter of Admiral Buchanan, and Miss Nanne Brent, daughter of Gen. Joseph L. Brent.

The first contribution of flowers arrived In the city Thursday morning, and came in the form of a large box of palmetto leaves and Southern moss, sent from Charleston, S. C., by Judge George Savage, with the request that the palms be placed at the base of the monument during the unveiling.

Veterans To March.

The veteran wearers of the gray from the Confederate Home, at Pikesville; members of the Maryland branch of the Society of the Army and Navy of the Confederate States and members of the Maryland Division United Confederate Veterans will attend the exercises in a body. The veterans from the Home and the members of the Army and Navy Society and of the United Veterans’ Society will assemble at Charles and Monument streets, and will march from there to Mount Royal avenue, their route being from Charles to Madison, to Cathedral, to Mount Royal avenue, to the monument.

Major Stuart Symington will act as marshal, and the Society of the Army and Navy, with the Veterans from Pikesville, will lead the line. Maj.-Gen. A. C. Trippe, commander of Maryland Division United Confederate Veterans, with the other officers of the division, will be mounted. The Pikesville band will precede the first section of the procession, and the Fifth Regiment Veteran Corps Band the representatives from the United Confederate Veterans’ Camps.

Will Carry Battle Flags.

Some of the scarred old battle flags that were carried by the Maryland wearers of the gray in the conflict between the States will be brought out from the cases in which they are carefully guarded in the Home at Pikesville and carried by the color-bearers in the line. Those that will be borne aloft by the color-bearers in the Army and Navy Society will be the flags of the First and Second Maryland Cavalry: the Eighth Virginia battle flag; the banner of the Second Maryland Infantry, the only Confederate flag among those carried over the breast-works in the terrible conflict at Culp’s Hill at Gettysburg and which is known to have been brought out again safely: the Bradley T. Johnson Company flag, which was presented to General Johnson by the ladies of Frederick, and the famous “Buck Tail” flag of the First Maryland Infantry, the reminder of the battle of Cross Keys, at which the Marylanders defeated the Buck-Tail Regiment of Pennsylvania, capturing Colonel Kane, the commander, and taking the colors of the regiment.

To Show New Colors.

The members of the Veterans’ camps will display the new colors of the division, one side showing a reproduction of the flag carried by the Second Maryland Infantry at Gettysburg.

Representatives of the Sons of Veterans will accompany the division as color-bearers, those who have already promised to serve in this capacity being Mr. Andrew Noel Trippe, Mr. Morgan Wood and Mr. G. Bernard Fenwick. An Interesting incident of the afternoon will be the presentation of a flag, while the veterans are assembling, to the James R. Herbert Camp by Colonel Herbert’s daughters.

Out-Of-Town Delegations.

Besides the members of the Baltimore camps of the United Confederate Veterans, the Arnold Elzey, James R. Herbert, Franklin Buchanan and Isaac R. Trimble, delegations are expected from the other camps In the State: the George H. Steuart, Annapolis: James Breathed, Cumberland; C. S. Winder, Easton; Ridgely Brown, Gaithersbirg: Alexander Young, Frederick; Geo. M. Emack, Hyattsville: Bradley T. John-son, Leonardtown. Delegations are also expected from the Sons of Veterans of Washington and from the Harry Gilmor and James R. Wheeler camps of Baltimore.
