but last night he was alone in his glory. The
Prince of Wales wore black coat and white

grand Gordon of the Legion of Honor, tights,
and the garter on the knee The Duke of
Edinburgh was dressed in precisely the same

into macy details as TO the order in which the
Imperial and Royal personages sat at supper
which lasted long while; white boards wagged

serious and bustness-like way. the Empress
held particularly animated conversation with
the Prince of Wales. who seemed to amuSe her
greatly. When the Highland piper went round
The table with the bagpipes, the Prince directed
her Majesty's attention TO some ladies who
were stopping their ears. and laughed good
humoredly at their want of apr eciation of
Highland music. l was greatly struck by the
great resemblance of the King of the Belgians
to the PORTRAITS of Francis l. l that La
LibeTte Of this evening makes the same remark.
While the Imperial and Royal party was at
table, the general company took their places
at other tables in the same room. Ultimately
there was sit down supper for everybody, with
plenty of ofattendance, and all the evening long
ment at the buffet. At about o'clock the
cotilliOn began. II was conducted by the Mar
quis de CauX. The Prince of Wales chose for
his partner for this dance, which lasted fully
two hours, the beautiful Marquise de Gallifet
