| as my hearing extended the ceremonies were simple
as have related them, appropriate and punctually
performed. The celebration, in fact, has practical
business-like air, and an absence of striving for
effect which is unexpected but in the best taste.

of Royalty 1t was well-behaved crowd however,
and score of policemen by motion of the hand and
polite requests of " Bite sriek" had no trouble in
opening lane for the passage of the Imperial process

right and left and now and then STOPPING TO say

bv the spectators The Prince of Wales came
immediately after the Emperor, with his slender.
bright-eyed wife, half head taller than he, upon
his arm The Prince was easily recognized by his
scarlet coat by those who not familiar with his
heavy features, and an Englishman standing on
chair shouted, Three cheers for the Prince" He

enough near 10 give three good hearty English hur-
rahs. The Crown Prince of Germany who came
next IN the procession. did not receive any special
recognition. BE was noticeably the hnest-looklng
man in the whole party. The entrance to the south
wing was barred to the public, and as there was
nothing to do but to wait until the procession came
hack many people became tired and went home.
The Emperor did not as was expected make
very formal tour of the building. He spent more
than half an hour IN the south wing, talking with
the Commissioners of the different nations repre-
sented there, and examining many things closely
and with evident interest. There were everywhere
bare species and skeletons of future showcases
alternating with the articles on exhibition; and
there was evidence all sides Of great haste in ar
ranging the things that ready TO be looked at
Still there was a great deal TO be and TO those
who went through the building last evening 1t ap-
peared wonderful that the chaos then existing had
been brought into something like order IN few

Ape ARANCE OF VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS.
In the German Department, which is next the Ro-
tunda there is very little worth seeing except the
magnificent furniture, hangngs and carpets pre-
sented 10 the King and Queen Of SaxOny on the oc-
cason of their golden wedding last November. Bel
gian industries are very we'll represented especially
in manufactures of iron and carpets and firearms,
and Holland makes a very good show of house fur
niture East Indian colonial possessions and the va
rious liquors for which the Dutch are famous. The
Italian Department which comes next Is especially
interesting from the number Of works OF art II con-
tains beautiful collection of statuary from Milan
is the most noticeable thing there, and attracted
the attention of the Imperial party
they passed. They also stopped to look
at some cabinets inlaid with ivory and
nrecions stones The French Department is almost
entirely bare. except good exhibition of bronzes,
clocks and ievelry There is very little in place yet
that is worth seeing Little Switzerland has her
pavilion in very good shape. Her exhibition of
wood and ivory carving, watches and lewery Is
particularly good. The small space assigned to
Spain and Portugal is pretty well filled. Beyond
are the largo British departments, rather bare from
size although there are, probably more articles on
exhibition here than in any department except those
of Austria and Hungary. The show of glassware.
porcelain and nAjolica and cutlery, carpets and fur
niture is already very good.

By the, time the Emperor and Empress, with all
