G. A. R. RECEPTION
COMMITTEE MEMBERS

plans for the fireworks with Mr.. Ions
and the members of the executive COM
mittee. After getting their views he
decided on a form of contract which he
would draw up and have in the hands OF
Mr.. Long before Monday next. Mr.
Pain stated that the fireworks would
be given on a scale of grandeur hither-
TO unknown to the residents of Wash
ington, and that he would conscien-
tiously endeavor to outdo any OF his
previous experiences in this direction
The display. which was hitherto con-
templated would continue three days
may be extended through the entire week
each evening, In point of variety. the
exhibit being entirely unlike its prede-
cessor, so that the evenings of the en-
tire week will be taken up in succeed
ing variety of pyrotechnics. While MIR
Pain did not exactly indicate what
would be the main piece on each even
ing, 1t is generally assumed that the
Fall Of Pekin' will be used at some
time during the week. and 1t is known
that the American flag will be con-
spicuous feature of each evenings cell
ebration.
Civilian Escort.
Chairman B. H. Warner, of the citi-
zens' executive committee, is consider.
ing plan of making up body to be
known as the civilian escort. similar
to the organization of citizens that par
ticipated in the last Inauguration cere-
monies. 1t will be recalled that Mr.
Warner was the chief marshal of this
parade, and that at its conclusion he
had engraved and issued to each mem
Der of that large escort a parchment, or
commission, indicating his rank upon
the staff. The idea proved to be an ex-
oeedingly taking and popular one. and
even to this day those who have not Sc
cured commissions are sending In re-
quests for them to Mr.. Warner. who is
promptly meeting them. 1t is more than
likely, therefore, that the same idea will
tie carried out at the Grand Army
parade, and the committee of citizens to
be selected will probably be larger than
any designated heretofore for a similar
purpose.
The meeting of the Sixth Army Corps
will be held Wednesday, July %. at '7:30
c o'clock.
