the interior harlor the band of the American
frigate Shenandoah, ranged on the ships
deck, intoncd the Marscllaise, while the Off
GERS raised the French flag to the masthead
and dipped three times the Star-Spangled

their airy perches. The blnd then marched
to the Court of Honor, at the Hotel de Vile,
where it performed the overture to Tampa
and the Marseillaise, and the Mayor pre-
sented an address of welcome. All along
the railway line to Paris the enthusiasm Of
