On reaching Ninth street the march by the flank will be resumed. Bands will not turn out from the column, but will cease plying as soon as they have passed the reviewing officer. Great care will be taken by brigade and regimental commanders to see that the column is not checked in front of the reviewing officer, and the pace of the troops in front will be increased if necessary.

A division of the Twenty-fourth Army Corps has been ordered by the department commander to receive the corps as it passes through the city, and is to be formed with its left resting near the reviewing officer and extending to the right along the line of march.

Headquarters trains, led animals, and ambulances will follow the troops, none being allowed in the column. The pontoon trains, regimental and hospital wagons, and the supply trains will cross in the order named at the lower of the two pontoon bridges, and passing the troops in the vicinity of Hanover Court-House.
