London Visit.
LONDON, June 27.-Arrangments for
the reception and entertainment OF the
German Emperor and Empress are now
nearly completed. Attended by Gen.
Won Hahnke, Gen. Won Witch, Count
Gutenberg, Baron Won Marshall and
Countess Brockdorf, they will arrive n
the Thames on board the imperial yacht
Hohenzollern on Saturday, July 4, and
will be met by some members OF
the roval family. They will at
once be escorted to Windsor,
| where several apartments nave
been prepared for them IN the
castle. The Queen has deputed MaJ.-
Gems. Sir John MacNeill and Sir Henry
Ewart and Col. w. Harrington to attend
the foIowlng Monday the Queen,
Kaiser, Prince and Princess of Wales,
Prince Christian and other members OF
| the rova family, and Duke and Duchess
| of Anhalt, will attend the marriage OF
Prince Aribert and Princess Louise of
Schleswig- Holstein, which takes place
at St. Georges Chapel. In the evening
there will be dinner party In the
palace.
On Wednesday, July s, the royal Wis
itors will attend Prince Christians gar
| den party at Cumberland Lodge, thence
proceeding to London for the "com-
mand" performance at the Royal ltailan
Opera. Mr.. Harris intends this to be
an unique spectacle, surprising any
| thing before seen at Covent Garden.
The central boxes in the grand tier will
be thrown into one, the saloon convert
! ed into an ante-chamber, and the stair
cases and corridors lined with yeomen
of the guard and soldiers. Carte
| blanche has been gwen to numer-
Gus West End florists, and the
whole house will be one mass of
! flowers, with ice blocks to enhance the
effect. The subscription list will be sus-
pended and the best boxes will cost 20
guineas, stalls 6 guineas, and other seats
in proportion. Levee dress will be
de rigeer in boxes and stalls. Harris pro-
poses, should the Queen and Prince of
Wales approve, to invest the programme
with symbolical character appropriate
will most likely be the first act of
"Lohengrin," which includes welcome
to the German king on a visit to foreign
shores, while the concluding selection
will probably be the last act of ode
Meistersinger, typifying the browning
and Qualification of German art. Tickets,
despite the high prices, are already at q
| premium.
On Thursday their imperial mnjesties
will hear the Golden Legend at the
Albert Hall. The 10th will be devoted
| to the visit to the Guild Hall. The
Queen will not accompany her guests
on this occasion, her desire being that
the reception shall be entirely in honor
of their imperial maiesties. The Prince
and Princess of Wales will, however,
probably be present.
On Saturday morning, the 18th, a
great military display, either at Alder
shot or Wimbledon, is projected, at
which, beside regular troops, large
force CT volunteers will be assembled.
In the afternoon their majesties will
visit the Crystal Palace and inspect the
volunteer fire brigade of the United
Kingdom. There will be given subse-
quently a concert bya contingent of the
Handel festival choir and, to conclude
festivities, q specially prepared exhibit
ton Of the famed palace fire works.
