The imperial party occupied nearly
two hours in making the tour, and was
everywhere greeted with enthusiasm,
the crowd cheering ond running after
the carriages in Il manner ilattering to
the vanity of the occupants, but
dangerous to life and limb ofthoso who
are unable to get out Of their path.
Vague rumors of deaths occurring
through the press and crowd have been
circulated, but no well authenticated
report of such accident has been seen
in the papers. In fact, when the en-
peror, Oh the following day made in
quiry as to whether any accident had
occurred, he was assured that none had
taken place, but that the whole affair
had been orderly and happily conduct
ed, and was Il proof of the vivacity and
loyalty of the Viennese, and also of their
orderly, law-abiding i'p)Sition.

About p. III. we took our way

the outer borders of the Ring straus We
found the omnibus which would take

We paused for q moment by the pa

scene. The rows of fine buildings eN

Ring and beyond the parade plat,
glowed like multitudinous stars, thu
Ring, like Il circle of fire, surrounded
the city's cleaning heart, and from al
sides the streets of the Nor
