At yesterdays meeting Of the plan and

State Legislature. headed by Senator John
Raines explained their plans for the re-
ception. OF the $4,000 appropriated by the
state So 600 will be used to pay the ex-
penscs Of the National Guard. The steam
boat Monmouth has been hired for the le-
gislators, and the plan and scope committee
voted to give a place in the naval parade
to it, and also to allow the lawmakers to
erect grandstand. The plan and scope
committee will build only two stands, one
at City Hall and the other at Madison
Square. Gen. Butterfeld explained that the
| Governors are to be invited to accompany
| Mayor Van Wyck when he boards the Olym-
! pla In the lower bay to welcome the Ad-
| miral. Gen Buttertlcld also said he had re-
| Quested Admiral Dewey to arrive here on
| September 20, so that the naval parade can
| be held on Saturday, and the land parade
| Oh Monday. allowing Sunday for rest
Cen Roe objected to this on the ground that
| the members of the National Guard would want
| TO see the naval parade Gen Roe also said
that on account of the numerous requests
| from civilian societies for places in the line.
he believed that it would be best to allow
none but military organizations to parade
| in order to avoid confusion.
| The Governor Of Vermont has requested
! that the troops from that state be designated
as the Admlral's escort. Gen. Roe express
ed the opinion that this would be inadvis-
| able because OF the i'll feeling that 1t might
create His plan is to have the parade con-
| form TO the usual formation-the United
! States sailors, marines. and soldiers lead
| ing IT, and the state troops following in the
| order Of the admission Of the states to the
| Union. The visiting troops will be quarter
| ed in the armories, and one dollar a day
will be expended fer the entertainment OF
| each man.

by Fred T. Alder and Fl. c. Green. 1t Will
contain portrait and sketch Of the Admi-
raj. history Of the battle of Manila Bay, and
portraits OF the persons responsible for the
celebration There was some discussion yes
tc-tay as to whether the plan and scope
committee should have small portraits and
long biographies or large portraits and short
biographies in the programme. It was de-
cided that the pictures OF the committeeman
should occupy an entire page each, with no.
thing except the name under it. The COM
mttee wishes the public to know that there
Will be no advertising matter in the ohicial
| programme Of any kind. and that the men
