VIENNA, July %, 1873.
Chief Commissioner Garretson received an offlcial
Notification that on Tuesday His Majesty the En-
peror Of Austria would make formal visit to the
american department. You must know that the
Emperor has divided the Exposition into certain
number Of sections and thus far therefore has gone
puietly through each, studying carefully the indus
try OF the country represented. Already he has
visited the departments OF the East, Russia France
md Germany. Yesterday morning was set apart
Tor visit to the United States, Brazil and Great
MISUNDERSTANDING with the fOrmer-where he
would arrive at eleven. So our exhibitors brushed
mp their machines and displayed their pictures and
wares, and were in waiting at an early hour in
kidy array-those in authority wearing evening
hress costumes. 1t was not generally known out
side what hour the Emperor would select, and SO
there was only limited crowd in attendance.
THE EMPERoR's RECEPTION
Eleven, as have said. was the hour designated !;
but at few minutes before eleven His Majesty ar
rived, with more than imperial punctuality. Our
little American group was ready to receive him.
mr. Gerretson, Chief Commissioner; Mr.. Thomas
NcElrath, Commissioner; Mr.. Reck, Architect Of
ahe Commission; Professor HOrsford, Professor
Joy OF Columbia College, and number of the
principal exhibitors composed it. The Emperor
was accompanied by Baron Schwarz-Sanborn,
who looked bright and happy; Count Belegarde
an officer Of the imperial stan, and the Minister
OF Police. He drove up in open Victoria with
out any escort, smoking his cigar as he came
through the Prater. He was dressed In
the uniform Of an Austrian field marshal
Entering at the door next to the American de-
partment and Immediately passing the portal he
was received by Mr.. Gerretson, and at the same
time expressed the desire that those in the group
should not accompany him with uncovered heads.
Mr. Reck, the architect, whose familiarity with the
METALS and plan OF the building and the Exhibition
and command OF the German language gave him
unusual advantages, was requested by Baron
Schwarz-SanbOrn to explain to His Majesty the
various objects in our department.. The party
began their progress. passing into the covered
court among the metal industries and special ex.
hibts. On entering this department, Mr.. Jay, who
was little bit late on account OF His Majesty being
. little bit early, approached and was received by
the Emperor gracousy and the procession passed
On. The suggestion made by Mr.. Garretson
10 prevent crowding, that police arrangements
phould be strictly enforced, was overruled by
Baron schwarz, who said that His Majesty pre-
perred to attend the exhibition as private gentle
man and that he found no inconvenience in the
company who surrounded him. Every respect was
shown to the Emperor; and though the group was
hs large sometimes as two hundred whenever he
indicated O desire to see any special object 1t
melted away and gave him the utmost freedom.
