The Presidents programme, in brief, will
include visit to at least four of the
principal exhibit buildings; an inspection
of the Government building exhibits

elusive reception; the review of the mill
tary parade from the steps Of the Govern
ment building: lunch on the Fair grounds;
a visit to the Philippines; visit to per-
hapS twelve of the foreign paviiions; prob
able view of probable airShip flight by
Hippolyte Francois; probable view of the
kfck-on at the start of the .HaSkell-C Car
Isle football game in the Stadium; dinner
at the homo of his host; banquet at the
Tyrolean Alps.
The banquet, 1t is thought, will end the
day as cut out for the President by the
Exposition committees of Reception and

display of fireworks at the Grand Basin,
