Thursday morning, May 10, at 9 o'clock.
The formation will be made in Washington

of the utmost importance that the color
bearers report at the State museum, third

the banners will be delivered to them by
the detail in charge. In order that they
may be recognized. the color bearers must
wear the inclOsed badge. There will be
no other way of obtaining cOlors. Each
regimental organization will be allowed TO
carry two cOlors. each set being conspic-
uOusly marked by a blue streamer with
white figures tied to the head of staff. After
securing possession of the flags, the color
bearers will report to General C"arnahan
as rapidly as possible, who will assign them
TO their position in the parade. Upon ar
rival at the monument the color bearers
will leave the procession as each organiza-
ton passes the north side of the monu-
ment, and proceed to the point on the plat
form designated for that purpose, and de-
posit the coloTs in the racks whe-e they are
