RULES FOR TRAFFIC
At RECEPTION MADE
Regulations Announced to
Lessen Delay at White
House Today.

The following traffic arrangements
are announced in connection with the
Army and Navy reception at the
White House tonight:
Guests having tickets of admission
at the north entrance of the White
House will enter by the northwest
gate, and will leave by the northeast
gate. Vehicles for these guests. will
be parked along the north and south
sides of Pennsylvania avenue.
Guests whose cards of admission
are marked for the east entrance will
approach in southerly direction
along East Executive avenue, enter
ing the north gate on East Executive
avenue. These cars will be parked on
the east side of the White Lot until
called, and when called will approach
northward along East Executive
avenue, approaching the east en-
trance by way of the south East Exc
cutiVe avenue gate.
In order to avoid the extremely
long delay heretofore experienced by
guests arriving early at the east en-
trance, it has been decided at the
White House not to open the east
gate until $50. Guests arriving at
this entrance can be received by the
President as late as 1880; conse-
be distributed over the period from
$50 to 11:30.
Those guests whose cards of ad-

will proceed to the south portico by
way of the southwest gate and leave
by way of the southwest gate and
thence north on West Executive ave-
nue..

and thus save the time and annoyance
of the guests being stopped by the
police to examine their cards of ad-
mission.
