 LONDON, July 9.-Theaprince and prin.
 cess of Wales gave garden party at Marl
 borough house, their London residence, this afternoon in honor of the emperor and
 empress of Germany. Phe weather was delightful. The carefully tended and artis-
 tically trimmed gardens of Marlborough house were for the occasion transformed into brilliant, tasteful encampment of fashion, the smooth, soft lawns being dot ted here and there with pretty tents and handsome marquees, while wandering, chatting, laughing in the pleasant hooks, in shady arbors and among brilliant flower beds and sp1ashing fountains were those fortunate individuals who compose the creme de Ia creme of British and German aristocracy. Rarely, if ever, have those beautiful gardens been crowded with such an assemblage of Germany uniforms as were there gathered to-day, mingling pleasantly with uniforms representing every branch of the British service, to say nothing of tho gorgeous dress of the for eign diplomats. The band of the British Grenadier Guards and that of the Prussian Royal Dragons (sent to England on pur- pose) played the finest selections from the eminent German composers, principally Wagnerian pieces, however.
 ARRIVAL OF THE EMPEROR AND EMPRESS.
 The emperor and empress arrived at Marlborough house at about o'clock and Queen Victoria entered the grounds short ly afterwards. A strong force of police kept the general public from crowding too freely about the immediate neighborhood of St. James, palace, opposite Marlborough house, about Marlborough ouse itself and principally about the mall. But this did not prevent tens of thousands of people from crowding about those places nor did it drive them away from St. James, park, where the curious gathered as early as noon in the hope of seeing the great peo- pie drive from Buckingham palace, down the mall, to Marlborough house. Among the royal or princely personages who had reached Marlborough house their imperial majesties were the duke and duchess of Anhalt, the princess AL e1ander of Anhalt, the duke and duchess of Connaught, prince and princess Chris tian of Schleswig- -Holstein, the duchess of Albany, the duke and duchess d'Aosta, the duke and duchess of Fife, the prince and princess of Monaco, the duke and duchess of Teck, the heridi tary grand duke and duchess of Mecklenb urg -Schwe- rein, duke Ernest of Schlewswig- -Holstein and many other equally distinguished peo- pie. In addition there were present the whole of the diplomatic corps and very many distinguished army and navy off cers, cabinet ministers and others,
 REMARKABLE DISPLAY OF ToILETTEs
 Naturally, there was 8 remarkable dis play of ladies' toilettes to set off the spark ling uniforms of the gentlemen and, as a whole, the dazzling costumes, sunshine, flowers, tented lawns, fountains, grand music, splendid uniforms, decorations, flashing diamonds and bright faces formed as pretty mixture of pleasant coloring and enjoyment as one would wish to see. The queen wore black dress with white tablier, white lace shawl and white bonnet trimmed with small feathers. AS soon as she arrived the assemblage opened out, forming an avenue along which the queen walked toward the prince and prin- cess of Wales, who were advancing to meet her. The emperor, who had assisted the queen to alight from her carriage on arrival, accompanied her to & seat. After partaking of refreshments the members of the royal and imperial parties strolled about the grounds. The queen returned to Windsor at 7:30 p. M.
