gdsy.moruing inspection Of the troops was
held promptly at O'Clock. This great

ficers remaining on foot. The troops are
then inspected and reviewed. The detach-
iment OF cavalry or OF C0ssacks which hap
pens TO be present gives some exhibitions
OF fancy riding or sword exercise. and the
Emperor moves his horse here and there
through the troops, chatting and gossipping
lfamiIisrly with them. The parade usually
lasts little less than an hour. The troops
are then dismissed with every well !"
from the Emperor, and he gets into his
lrarriage or sleigh with one Of his brothers
or sons and drives back TO the palace.
THE ROAD TO THE PALACE.
1t was fresh from leaving just such a
scene that the Emperor was murdered. The
distance from the Winter Palace to the
riding. school Is little less than mile in
straight line, but following the streets the
distance is about q mile and quarter.
There are two routes. about equal in length,
between the two buildings. Oneof them Is
from the palace through the arch in the
Palais de fEiat Major and out to the
Neysky, thence down that broad thorough
fare 10 side street or pere0uiOUh leading
directly 10 the riding hall. The other
route is more winding. Leaving the
lnding hall it passes the front of the
michael Palace, turns to the right
on reaching the Catherine canal, and fol-
lows the pavement between that canal ana
the Michael Garden until II reaches the
lbridge near the corner OF the Imperial sta
bIps on the one side and the corner OF the
Champ de Mars on the other; thence 1t Iol'
lows the Morka canal to the bridge opposite
the Finance Department, and crossing tnls
and passing the front Of The Foreign Olfce
it leads into the great palace-ya:d, III The
centre of which stands the Alexander CO.

self. From the dispatches it appears that
the Emperor was returning by the latter
route. and was about Midway Of 1t, on The
Catherine canal, Just before reaching the
stables, when he was oyertaken by his as
sassinS.
