 A kingdom for stage, princes to act, And monarchs to behold the swelling scene.
 Shakespeare.
 A hundred cannon disharged from the bridgeof Jena ushered inthe Champ de Mai. lnfront of the military school 2 mighty amphitheatre was formed for the aceommodationof the spectators. as well as those who were to assist in the cere- mony.
