The rro- cession will form at the Capitol at 12 o'clock, move up Pennsylvania avenue to Farragut Square, where the statue will be unveiled at 1 o'clock by Quartermaster Knowles, who lashed the Admiral to the rigging at the bat tie of Mobile. President Garfield will make the speech in reception of the statue, and ad- dresses will be delivered by ex-Postmaster General Maynard and Senator Voorhees,, of Indiana, after which the procession will pass in review at the White House.
