THE IMPERIAL TOUR THROUGH THE BUILDING,
The Emperor then descends, and, followed
by his illustrious guests, makes the tour of the
building. He turns from flower to flower, fol-
lowing the path leading to the American quar-
ter, always bowling sadly, his Queen, with radi-
ant air, leaning on the arm of the Crown
Prince of Germany. One wonders if among
oil this pageantry whether the heir to the
German Empire is thinking Of Sadowa. The
Prince OF Wales is in the sunniest humor,
and the princes and noble ladies form o
gorgeous illumination to the train; generals,
ministers, and diplomates corruscating in the
gallery like stars borrowing light from the
sun to make the universe more beautiful.
In all this throng our own Minister is con-
spicuous for the plainest costume. The
commissioners are dismally dark in their
evening dress, which contrasts curiously
with the pageantry and magnifcence of
the court.
INCIDENTS OF THE IMPERIAL JOURNEY.
As the Prussian prince passes the German
section loud cheers are heard for Fritz and
the Princess, which he answers with laughing
eyes So section after section is slowly seen.
