The organ- ization will go as escort to Governor Woodruff and staff, and will take part, officially, in the exercises on Connecti- cut day, Wednesday, October IS, Members of the Foot Guard are look ing forward with eager anticipation to the trip, and 1t is expected to be one of the banner events in the his- tory of the organization, and in some particulars may be the best trip yet taken by the command.
 The First and Second companies, To- cated in Hartford and New Haven re- spectively, will not go together, en route to the exposition, but will meet at the fair and the two commands will make the homeward trip together. The First company, Major Louis R. Cheney, commanding, will leave Hart ford, Saturday, October 12, on spe- cial train, at 6:59 p. m,, 125 strong, with their band of thirty pieces.

 The day at Gettysburg will be given up to sightseeing, including carriage drives over the famous Gettysburg battle-ground, and breakfast dinner and supper will be served at a lead- ing hotel. There Is much of beauty, sentiment and history at Gettysburg and no doubt, all participating in the trip will enjoy this day on the field where was fought one of the critical battles of the nation.
 Sunday night at o'clock the com mand will again board the sleepers and leave for Luray, via Maryland, and down the Shenandoah valley and to Luray, where they are due to arrive at a. m.

 There is quite a little to be seen in Roanoke owing to it's beautiful loca- tion in the valley of the Blue Ridge mountains, which surround the city, and the members of the command who are "Elks" will find beautiful "Llks' home here and few miles out at Radford may be seen the Ma tional Elks' home.
 At il D. m. Monday night the party will start for Norfolk over the Nor folk and Western lines, arriving at the Jamestown exposition Tuesday morn ing, October 15, and will proceed at once to the Pine Beach hotel for breakfast Here the special train will be given up and the above hotel will be headquarters for three days and two nights, where the entire second floor has been reserved for the First company with special rooms provided for stacking of arms and other equip ment. Tuesday will be an open day at the exposition. The "Feeters" will be busy sightseeing, and will have a chance to swoop down on the Con necticut building and Manager Curtis.
 Leaving Richmond at midnight Fri day, the next stopping place will be Washington, and the command is scheduled to arrive there early Sat urday morning, October 19, Here the company will have their meals at the Arlington hotel There Is al- ] ways plenty to be seen In Washing ton, especially for people who have never been there, and many members | of the Foot Guard have never stopped in Washington except to pass, through
 there homeward bound from St. Louis.
 The day will be an open one and given up entirely to sightseeing.
 | Leaving Washington at midnight Saturday the two companies will pro- ceed over the Pennsylvania lines to Jersey City, where breakfast will be
 had, and Hartford will probably be
 reached about noon on Sunday, Oc-
 tober 2O thus completing most de- lightful eight days trip. The men
 will travel in their blue dress unl-
 forms, and will also take their hand
 some full dress grenadier uniforms for l use on official occasions.
 An official program for the men is
 being prepared for use while at
 Jamestown, and it is understood that
 the military duty will not be so stren>
 uous as to keep the men from paying
 their respects to the war Path" 1 The arrangements for the trip en-
 tailed considerable hard work on the part of the able committee, which
 consisted of Major Cheney, Judge Ad-
 vocate Captain Frank L. Wilcox, Lieu
 tenant Ralph w. Cutler, assistant pay
 master; Captain Edward W. Hooker | quartermaster and Captain Charles w
 Newton, inspector. Captain Wilcox
 is chairman of the committee on trans portation.
 | The Putnam Phalanx, which will attend the celebration of Connecticut
 day also, will leave Hartford on a
 special train on the same evening as
 the Foot Guard, but the two organi-
 cations will not go together. They will
 meet at Gettysburg on Sunday, how
 ever, but from there on their routes | will separate. The PhalanX will spend
 two days in Washington, going down
 to Jamestown the fifteenth where
 they will remain three days returning
