Tie arrival of the imperial party was not
known all day Sunday to our citizens. So the
desire OF the imperial couple to remain incognito
was gratified On Sunday morning the
Princess Clotilde, who is a devout Catholic,

Boats belonging to the yacht were plying
between the vessel and the shore all day long,
