Col. Burch. the personal aid 10 fresi-
dent-elect Wilson, came to Washington
with some minor revisions of the pro-
gramme made by the President-elect.
The Essex Troop will not form part or
the escort of Mr.. Wilson on his arrival
tomorrow morning. as had been planned.
The details of MIR. Wilson's reception at
the Union Station and his trip from the
station to the Shoreham will be fuily
settled at conference between Col.
Burch and the inaugural committee
chairmen this afternoon.
1t is probable, however, that the recep-
tion committee and the Princeton STU
dents will be the only ones taking part
in the reception. 1t has been suggested
that the students detrain first and form
a lane between the gates of the train
shed and the Presidents room IN the
station, and that through this avenue
the members of the reception committee
walk to greet Mr.. Wilson.
Approved by Wilson.
The Princeton students have also sug-
gested that instead of forming on each !
side of the street from the Shoreham to g.!

The result OF the test illumination last
night was generally satisfactory. There
still is some work to be done in Penn
sylvania Avenue and the Court of Honor.
The Presidential stands last night show
ed well when the lights were turned on.
The color boxes were used, throwing a
bronze glow on the cedar trees. There
are to be a number more of globes to
be strung through the trees before the
fnal illumination tonight. The water =
was turned on in the tube that has been
placed in the Peace Monument and the
spray falling over the 2fgures of the
statue was illuminated by three color
boxes that shed green. purple, and red
light on the dancing water.
Smoking Under Ran.
At the recommendation of Chief Wag-
ner, of the fire department, smoking in
all of the stands. except the Presi-
iential stand, will be prohibited on the
afternoon of the parade. This reCula-
