die the crowd and to see that the lines
are kept in order when the lucky ones
in front are allowed to pass the Presi-
dent and shake hands. All will be given
the same chance to grasp the Presi-
dents hand, but it is certain that only
d small portion of the thousands in the
park will be able to make this boast
after the President leaves, 1t is prob
able that he will have only time to
shake hands with about 1000 or 1000
persons.
An effort was made to obtain permis-
sion Of the Utah Light & Railway COM
pany for the use of school tickets by
children on Sunday, until 2 o'clock, but
officials of the company did not make
the desired arrangement.
ChaiTmen of the several committees
have everything we'll in hand and re-
ported that everything is ready for the
reception of the President.
Last night Governor Spry and John
K. Hardy. his private secretary, were
busy making up the list of about 900
persons who will receive reserve seat
tickets for the Presidents address at
the tabernacle Sunday morning. The
list was not completed, but will be fin
ished this afternoon. A staff Of stenOg-
TapheTs will be busy in the governors
office today writing letters and mailing
tickets to the guests, who will cOnsti-
tute the general reception committee.
An Inspiring Sight.
Twenty-Five thousand young people,
from the mere beginners in the grade
schools to young men and women near
ly through with university courses,
banked along the north side of Brig
ham street, from State street to Q, will
be the inspiring sight that will greet the
eyes of President William H. Taft when
he reviews the school children of Salt
Lake next Sunday morning at 1880
o'clock.
This is one of the many details
mapped out by the committee on chill
dren-a part of the general Taft enter

ward at the meeting " the committee
in the office of superintendent D. H.
Christensen yesterday afternoon. An
other meeting will be held today, when
further and more compete details on

block viii constitute division, with
division head; each division will be di
vided into sections, with section heads,
and each section will be divided into
about twenty-five groups, each with a
separate head, all working under Cap
tain Joseph Z. Game, who has been
named as marshall in charge of the re-
view. Under this arrangements there
will be eighteen sections, as there are
eighteen blocks in the long line between
the two ends, and besides this will BE

body into groups of about twenty-five
children each, who viii be in charge of
a separate head, responsible for the
children under them.

but twenty or thirty minutes before the
time specified no more children viii be
allowed within the lines. All children
will have tickets for admission, but
none will be received after the lines are
supposed to be in position for the re-
view The committees have not vet de-
cided upon the exact time, but this will
be announced after the meeting today,
when all details will be cleared up.
