HEADQRs DEPARTMENT OF PENNSYLVANIA
GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC,
No 1902 Chestnut ST. Phila., Sept. -, 1882.
General Orders, No. Ii.
l. The arrangements for the observance of
Grand Army Day in Philadelphia on Friday
October 9th, during the Bi-Centennial Cele-
bratiOn, are so far completed that there is no
doubt but that it will far exceed in magnitude
and interest any parade and Reunion of the
Order since its organization.
The entire National Guard of Pennsylvania
and New jersey, with several of the best known
regiments from other States, will parade. In
addition to the Posts Of this Department there
will be present many visiting Posts from other
Departments
The demonstration will be the largest and
most attractive of any during the week of cele-
bratiOn. The indications are that there will
be more comrades in line than upon any other
parade of the Grand Army, and all uniformed
Posts are urgently invited to participate. Let
each Post use every effort to show the strength
and discipline of our Grand Army.
The Commander in Chief and staff, together
with many other distinguished comrades, will
be present.
The line will be reviewed by the President
and Cabinet, General Sherman and staff, and
other military officers.
The line will form on South Broad street at
ten o'clock a. M. The exact place and order of
formation will be announced in future orders.
II. In the evening there will be reception
of the comrades and their ladies in the Acade-
my of Fine Arts, the immense picture galleries
of which have been secured exclusively for the
Grand Army for that evening. The same even
ing there will also be a Campfire in the large
Industrial Hall, Broad and Vine streets (but
two squares above the Academy of Fine Arts,
which it is intended shall surpass any we have
heretofore held.
The tickets to the reception and the Camp
fire will be complimentary, but will only admit
comrades in uniform or with badge. This
restriction is necessary to prevent the building
being crowded by those not connected with the
Order
Ill Commanders of Posts coming as organi-
cations will report at which depot and at what
time they will arrive and their probable
strength. They will be met at the depot and
escorted to Industrial Hall and furnished with
breakfast, and after the parade will return to
the same place for supper. To prevent dissat-
isfactiOn and confusion commanders must be
careful to comply with this order properly and
IN time.
" Tickets to Philadelphia and return will
be sold at one half the full rates.
Posts coming with a large number or consol-
idating with others may be able to arrange
through their local agents for a still further
reduction.
Posts coming in small delegations are re-
questcd to consolidate with other Posts, as it is
very desirable that no Post with less than fifty
members shall parade as Il distinct organization.
