Notable Features of the Exercises
at the Inauguration Ball.
PROGRAM OF THE DANCES

Gen. Horace Porter, Mr.. A. Noel Blake
man. chief of staff and Col H. C. Corbin
adjutant general, have been considering
the plans for the formation and disbanding
OF the inaugural parade. and it IS under
stood they have decided to follow the sys-
tenn in operation in 1893, with some modifi-
cations. The arrangement four years ago
was prepared by Capt. Johnston of the Sth
Cavalry. who was then, as he is now, chief
aid, and the parade was formed as follows:
The first division of the first grand di-
vision, which comprised the regular United
States troops. formed on 1st street east,
fronting the Capitol Park. The second d.
vision formed of the Pennsylvania Ma
tional Guard, assembled and fell In on
Maryland avenue from 1st street to Stanton
Square, and on a street from 1st to 9th
street northeast The third division formed
on East Capitol street, from 1st street to
Lincoln Park, and the fourth on j street
southeast, from 1st street to 18th street.
The first division of the second grand
DIVISION formed on 1st street from b street
southeast to Garfield Park: the second on
New Jersey avenue, from B to F streets
southeast; the third on South C;,pitol
street, from B street to Virginia Avenue:
the fourth division on Delaware avenue to
+ street south: the fifth on Delaware ave-
nue., from B street northeast to f street
northeast. and the sixth from 3 street to
" street northwest. When the inaugural
exercises were over the line of march was
taken up out of the Capitol grounds to B
street northwest, to list street and down to
the avenue The parade disban,led at
Washington Circle.
The change proposed in the plans this
year affect, 1t is said. only the matter of
dtsband1ng the procession. -Four years ago
there were orders given the commanders of
the various organiza ations to keep their men
IN line until they had got good distance
rf n 1f-t.a
order, however, was not generally obeyed
and the consequence was that many COM
mands broke ranks almost immedia tely
afte- leaving the line, and the men COM
posing tnem rushed to the neighborhood of
the White House with the result of swell
ing and congesting the crowds there to
such an extent that they invaded the line
of march several times. In order to pre-
vent repetition Of this sort of thing Cen
eral Porter has decided to keep the parade
intact not only until reaching Washington
Circle, but will have it defile into X street
and continue the march down that thor
oughfare to Mt Vernon Square where the
procession will disband. 1t is also under
stood that Grand Marshal Porter will fall
out OF Ike, with his staff at Mcpherson
Square and review the parade from that
poiIt.
The order in which the states will appear
in the parade will also be the same as four
