next Monday morning and the part they
are to take in the reception of the royal
visitor is, very naturally, the subject OF
chief interest just at present to the Of
ficers and enlisted men of the District OF

announced the local brigade will be formed

at intervals of four PAGES, facing inward.
The line of sentinels will be placed four
feet from the curb on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and two feet from the curb on 10th
street. The sentinels will stand at ease
until the head of the escort approaches,
when they will be brought to attention by
each company and division commander,
and each sentinel will then successfully
salute the marching column by presenting
arms when the head Of the column ar
rives within six PAGES of his front When
the column has passed, sentinels Will exc
cute order arms and stand al attention. II
is estimated that the double line of senti-
nels will extend from the northeast en-
trance to the White House grounds, near
ly to 9th street and Pennsylvania avenue
