At Augusta.
The arrangements for the reception
in this city are now completed and the
indications are that one of the great
est gatherings of people ever seen in
this city will be here to welcome
President Roosevelt on his arrival at
$50 o'clock. AS has been heretofore
announced, the reception committee,
consisting of Congressman E. c. Bur-
leigh, Hon. J. H. Manley, Hon. Selden
Conner. Hon. Lendall Titcomb, Hon.
j. Manchester Haynes, Hon. H. M.
Heath, DR.. Fred G. Kinsman, Hon. Ira
H. Randall Hon. Thomas ]. Lynch and
Col Frederick w. Plaisted, will well
come the distinguished guests and es-
cort them to the carriages which will
be in waiting.
The procession of carriages will then
| move from Market square through
Water, street to Rines hill, down Grove
street to State and from State street
| to the Blaine mansion, the present
home of Gov. Hill. Col. R. w. Soule
| will be marshal of the procession
| Cadet Band. A squad of mounted
| policemen will attend the Presidents
| carriage, which will be the first. The
stores and other buildings along the
line of march will be illuminated and
much red fire will be burned all through
| the route.
AS the train reaches the city the sig
nal will be given for firing the Presi-
Dental salute of q guns, which vii
be fired from the arsenal grounds. a,
the same time fireworks will be dis
charged from the State House grounds
and will be kept up until the party
reaches Gov. Hills home.
1t was at first thought that the Presi.
dent would be able to speak to the
throng of people which would undoubt-
| edly be present to hear him from the
front steps of the house, but it has
| since been determined to erect stano
| at the northeast corner of the terrace
near the driveway between the Blaine
and Homan estates, and jutting out
over a portion of the State street side
| walk. From this stand the speaking
| will be had.
| AS will be seen by reference to anoth-
er column Mayor Titcomb has ordered
State street closed to teams, this even
ing, from to $50 o'clock, between
the north entrance to the Augusta
House and the entrance to the state
House. and policemen will be stationed
at these points and at the intervening
streets to see that this order is faith
| fully obeyed. The streets in the vicin-
| ity of Governor Hills residence will be
reserved for persons on foot and no
teams of any kind except the carriages
of the guests will be allowed to stay
there The police will see that this or
der is fully complied with.
1t is now probable that President
night. His stops in other places in the
State during the day will be short and
consequently he will be unable to make
any extended remarks in those places;
but here in Augusta he will not be
hampered by time, as he will remain
at Governor Hills during the night
Therefore it is believed that he viii
make a speech as long as those de.
livered by him in Hartford, Providence
and other cities.
The President will be introduced b.
; Congressman Z. c. Burleigh, chairman
of the reception committee.
