Prince Naldemar went on board The Dame
br0g and steamed out; about II a telegram
from Dragon announced, that the Imperial
vessel was in sight. half an hour later
by extra train from FredensbOrg ar rived
our Queen and Grown Princess, the Princess
es Louise and Maria and the Princess of
Wales with her two daughter Princess
Victoria and the Duchess of Fife. also the
Princes Wilhelm and Hans. On account Of
the continuous rain the Queen and her com.
pany did not go straight to ToldbOden, hut
went to Amalienborg. At half past W
they all came to TOldbOden and guns were
fred from the forts. The Emperor's new
steamer The Pole Star with the Russian I'm
perial and Royal Danish standards, followed
by the Dannebrog, the Czarina, anil the
iron-clad feet, came slowly into the roads
between two rows of vessels, DECORATED with
flags, and whose b%owSprits from the swells
on the water bowed reverently to the enOr-
mons and elegant vessel. To the left the
Osborne was seen, covered with flags, TO
the right the large Swedish steamer EOluS,
decorated up to the tOp-rigging; and right
before the Pole Star lay the Sjelllnd. One
glance of the sun and the I'm peri vessel
would have presented magnificent view in
the pretty surroundings, but-mOst uniner-
cifully did the rain pour. When the Pole
Star had dropped anchor, a large cutter was
lowered. From some neighbOuring st cam
ers cheers were heard, until it was found
out, that the cutter only brought som g of
the attendants, including the Empr ess'A
powerful COSSack. Not until another half
hour was passed were the Imperial and
Royal flags struck from the Pole Star. and
under thun dering Sslutes a large open row
ing cutter steered to the shore. In the cut-
ter the spectators soon recognized the Gear,
who sat to the left in Danish uniform. Then
they discovered the Empress, who shielded
herself against the rain in a heavy ulster.
Around the Imperial couple sat the two
Kings and our Crown Prince, the Grand
Dukes NiColaus and George, and the other
Imperial children. The Emperor first Jump
ed ashore, shook off the rain and embraced
the Queen. Then the Empress kissed the
Queen and after her the Grand Duke NicO-
lauS. whose scar across the forehead from
the attach in Japan is rather becoming to
him. The future Emperor is beaming with
health and looks less like q Grand Duke
:han like an elegant German student, Just
recovered from d duel. 1t took q long time
before the mutual greetings of all the rela-
tiveS were so far over, that the Imperial
couple could pay any attention to others.
The Emperor in "A friendly way saluted Old

the Diplomatic Corps introduced to him.
Neither theEmperOr nor Empress look chang
ed; the Emperor perhaps has a LITTLE more
embonpoint, but the Empress looks as when
she left us in the Summer of 1882; she only
returns with taller Clildr ~. The numerous
famlly..then went to the carriages and were
driven 10 the railway station. In the fBt
carriage were the King, Emperor, Crown
Prince, and Grand Duke NicOlauS,s in the
second came the Qu"en, the Empress, and
King George. In "a long row of carriages
the royal family aud their guests now went
through Amaliegade to St. Ann@ Plads,
through Strandstre lie, across Kongens Ny
tory, TO the station; meanwhile the rain had
subsidized. At q they arrived at The station,
where the waiting hall was decorated with
ar abundance of lowers. At they arrived
at FredenSborg, and went straight to tho
castle, where dinner was served at 8 o'clock
for so persons. immediately after dinner
the Emperor retired.
