THE 15STHS ARRIVAL.
The time of the arrival Of the One-hun-
| acknowledgement Regiment is still a
| little indefinite although in all probability
! 1t will reach the Union Station at noon to-
day. Last night r. o. Hawkins, chairman
of the committee of the Columbia Club
that is arranging to give Colonel Smith and
the regiment welcome home received
word that the regiment left Knoxville at
| o'clock. 1t should reach Louisville this
morning early. and, if not delayed longer
than even slow special trains generally are,
| it will arrive over the Big Four via Green's
burg at noon. Owing to the heavy state
fair traffic Superintendent Zion, of the
Union Railroad Company, suggested TO
Lieutenant Waterman that it would be bet
ter to have the trains run to the North
street yards. This plan was decided on AS
fast as each section arrives luncheon will
be served to the men by the Columbia Club
committee at North street After they are
all in they will return to the Union Station
and there leave the cars for the march to
Sixteenth street, where street cars will be
in waiting to convey them to the fair
grounds. In view of this change of pro-
gramme members of the Columbia Club will
meet at the clubhouse at noon to-day in
stead of the hour originally intended and
then march to meet the regiment. In order
that the exact hour of arrival OF the regi-
ment may be known all whistles in the
city will blow salute as the first section
crosses the Belt railroad. After marching
to the Union Station with the When Band
