o'clock the Emperor drove up back Of
the grand stand in an open carriage, at
tended by dragons and great officers Of
his household. Alighting on the steps
of the grand entrance, he took horse
and cantered across the field toward the
general staff, which had followed along
the line, As the Emperos appeared the
bands played Hell Der" and all the
troops saluted him. The Emperor
looked exceedingly well, and rode dash
ny by, despite his lingering indispo-
sition. AS he rode down the front OF
the line flags were drooped, and the men
gave three ringing cheers. The EN-.
peror kept his hand on his helmet, and
smiled upon the soldiers. Passing Bis
marck he waved his hand in friendly
manner twice. Having passed up and
iown the lines the Emperor galloped
across the field to a point two hundred
wards to the right OF the grand stand,
facing the troops, where he took up his
position in front OF the Crown Prince,
sitting erect on charger, and surveying
the troops for a moment with deep emo
ton. The order was given to march
the bands struck up, and with splendid
step thirty thousand men marched past
in so perfect a manner that each battery
presented a profile as only one gun.

Saturday, instead of Monday. The

pected here to night. If it comes the
Germans will evacuate Paeis tomorrow,
but if not the Twelfth corps will prob
