The various organized bodies of citizens, civil and military, who intend to participate in the ceremonies of the inauguration, will, at their earliest convenience, report to the marshal-in-chief, in what force, and of what description of force they will be composed, and when they will arrive here, that the marshal-in-chief may assign them proper positions where they can form, preparatory to taking position in the column of march.
The procession will be formed in front of City Hall, and in the streets adjacent thereto, at nine o, A.M., of the 4th of March next.
At eleven o’clock A.M. the procession will move from the parade ground, by Louisiana avenue to Pennsylvania avenue, thence along Pennsylvania avenue, and so far past Willard Hotel (where the President elect will be) up Fifteenth street, as will enable it to countermarch and halt on Pennsylvania avenue in front of the Hotel.

The President and President elect will then be received into the line, and the column will, under orders, right face and move, escorting them to the Capitol.
Banners and adornments may be borne in the procession; but no offensive emblems or devices will be permitted to disturb the national ceremony.
After the President elect reaches the Capitol, the various portions of the procession will witness the inauguration programme, which has already been published by the Committee of the Senate.
The military, the marshals, assistant marshals, and aids will co-operate in the execution of the arrangements of the Senate.
As soon as the inauguration ceremonies are concluded, the military, with the marshals, assistant marshals, and aids, will, as the final ceremony, escort the President and his attendants to the Executive Mansion.
