formation of their Division, will halt and report their command to the Division Marshal, who will place such organization under
the direction of one of his Aides, who will conduct it to its place in the
Division column. Division Marshals will have the formation of their
Divisions perfected, take Post at the right of their column, and await the
signal to march, at 2:15 o'clock. The following distances will be preserved
during the march: Between Divisions, fifty feet; between Division
Marshals and their Aides, nine feet; between organizations comprising a
Division, twenty feet. All commanding officers will salute the reviewing
officer, color-bearers will at the same time droop the colors of their organizations. The formation of Divisions will be for G. A. R. Posts in single rank, platoons of twelve men front, marching at half distance.
III. So much of General Orders No. 1 as relates to the line of march will
be changed as follows: The line of march will be down Washington street
to Ferry, to Garden, to Tenth, to Hudson, to the Monument, where the ceremonies of the unveiling will take place. Division Marshals will mass their
commands around the Monument, in accordance with instructions to be given
hereafter. Visiting organizations will be passed free over the Hoboken Ferry
from New York.
IV. The honors of a marching salute will be rendered to His Excellency
Robert S. Green, Governor of New Jersey; Comrade, General W. T. Sherman;
Ransom Post No. 131, Department of Missouri; General Horatio C. King,
Hon. August Grassmann, Mayor, and the Common Council of the City of
Hoboken, at the City Hall. A marching salute will be rendered to the Grand
Marshal at Hudson and Seventh streets.
Should the name of any organization be omitted in this order, the commander of such organization will report to the Division Marshal in whose
Division he properly belongs.
The Staff of the Grand Marshal will assemble at Hexamer's Riding
Academy at one o'clock p. m., mounted.
By command of
