of the President and party. The stand for
the purpose of reviewing the troops, is
nifty feet long, with an incline so that
all upon it can see without trouble the
soldiers as they pass. The entire stand
has been decorated in the national colors.
A large American flag win be draped in
front, and another standard of the ma
ton will, it is understood, float from
pole near by. The President and The mem-
bers of his cabinet and the generals ac-
companying them with Gen. Keifer, will
occupy seats in front.
As the President ascends the stand
battery of light artillery stationed in The
center of the park extension will fire the
Official presidential salute taking its posi-
tion at the close of the firing in readiness
for the review. Only the presidential par
ty and the members of committees who
are assigned TO places on the stand will
be allowed upon Il. To provide for this,
as well as to distinguish the committeeman
and guests throughout the day, silk badges
will be distributed. Those for the guests
are of pink silk, with oxyidzed mead
piece and PIN and bearing in gold the
inscription Presidential Reception, Sa-
Vannah Dec. II, 1888, Guests -. Mem
bers of committees will wear red badges,
the chairman of each committee a white
badge, containing a similar inscription with
the name of the committee substituted for
the word guest" The general chairman
will wear a white silk badge with heavy
gold fringe.
The ladies' will not so upon the stand.
The carriages occupied by them, viii take
a position on the left of the stand it is
understood. while the Georgia Hussars
will be drawn up in line to the right.
This will make a decidedly attractive pc
ture. AS soon as these arrangements are
carried OUT, Maj. Cen Keifer, command
ing the troops, will give the signal for the
parade to begin, and the troops, which
have been stationed ON the west side of
the park win at once begin to move past
the reviewing stand. It is believed that
il will take fully an hour for the review.
