TO CLEAR THE AVENUE.
How 1t II Proposed to Do It on Inau-
guration Day.

OTHER MATTERS PERTAINING TO TIE CxnR-
NoNIEs-xEErINo OF THE EXECUTIVE CON-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. STILL SENDING IN
APPLICATIONS.
Col Robert Boyd, the chairman of the COM
mittee on public order at the Inauguration,
said to-day that the suggestion had been made
TO him to have notices conspicuously posted
along the Avenue informing people that it was
contrary to the regulations to pass beyond the
ropes Col. Boyd said he thought this was q
good idea, as the vast majority Of people on such
occasions was orderly and desired to observe
the regulations if they only knew what they
we're. He thought that if general notice Of
this kind was made it would be of great
assistance to the police in keeping the Avenue
clear,
Col. Boyd said that Major Moore proposed to
detail about eighty mounted men for duty on
the Avenue. 1t was thought that the mounted
men would be able to do double the duty that
the unmounted would be capable of.
