ers OF the District of Columbia, the lieu
tenant general of the army and the admiral
Of the navy, officers of the army and navy
who havs received the thanks Of Congress
and ali persons who have the privilege of

In addition members OF the citizens com
mittee will be provided for on the floor, and
it was decided to have one hundred blue
tickets, to be issued to those who are to
have places on the floor of the House
Three thousand white tickets will be issued
providing for admission only to the Capitol
building.
AS to the galleries of the House the press
diplomatic and Presidents galleries will. of

the case at the White Hous. but at the
exercises at both places the tickets of adj
mission will be extremely limited.
