THE ROYAL TENT,
Leaving ample room for the military band
and knights in armor, who soon appeared.
During all this time the windows of the
museum had been filed with figures in the
dress and colors of all times and ages !;
there were patricians, noblemen, senators,
kings, queens, generals of the Thirty
Years War, citizens, workmen, men,
women and children. These now slowly
descended the steps and arranged them
selves IN picturesque groups in the vicin-
ity OF the royal tent. Just at this moment
Herr Won Golz, representing Lucas Cranach
the elder, stepped before the Princes, and in
q short, neat speech expressed his homage,
adding that the hand which held the pal
lette or chisel was also ready to
WELD the sword when enemies
threatened the beloved Fatherland. This
declaration of allegiance being often
interrupted by the applause of the audience,
the knights clanked their weapons, and
the speaker was allowed to proceed to the
end. After he had finished, and the up.
roar had subsidized, strain of soft melody
filled the air, and in the upper central
niche OF the museum appeared the white
winged angel of Peace. His blessing on
Kaiser, King, people and land closed with
Hail to the Kaiser !" in which all the
people joined with loud voice. The angel
then scattered flowers from his well.filled
horn of plenty and disappeared. This
beautiful ceremony being ended, the assem-
bled Princes, together with the entire body
OF arts s, made circuit of the lake, fol-
lowed by one long continued round of ap-
plauss. The royal guests then departed,
and the vast concourse of people amused
themselves ad libitum.
