New YORK, April est was a great
disappointment to the assembled thou
sands to find Thursday morning that the
bright sunshine of the day before had
been followed by leaden skies and a
cold rain and driving northeast wind.
The unfavorable atmospheric condi-
tion deprived the decorations along the
river front of much of their effect, and
interfered with the comfort of the spec
Ia ,rs. Among the distinguished guests
Oh board the Monmouth were
Governor Russell. of Massa-
chusetts; Governor Norris, of Con-
necticut; Governor Brown, of Maryland;
Speaker Crisp, ex-Speaker Reed and
many senators and congressman. The
supreme court of the United States,
whose members had been rendered In
vitations for the Monmouth, declined
to accept them.
1t was a fitting and dramatic close to
the proceedings, when ut the close of
the review, the flagship Philadelphia
slowly steamed up to Riverside, OPP
posite TO the tomb of Grant, and on
the anniversary of his birth fired u

Saved by the "srarseiilaise. !"

The French Gen. de Ricard relates
I'm his memoirs how he publicly an
nounced his patriotic sentiments when
he was child travelling with n nurse.
His father, who was a royalist, had
been naval officer at the port OF Tou-
Ion and after Toulon had yielded 10
the republican army he had emigrated
TO Spain.
After passing some months in Spain
nj. de Ricard venturcd to return TO
France with his wife and their little
son and Spanish friend. Political
feeling was still strong in the country
and royalist emigrants were not well
treated, were not even out of danger
Of imprisonment.
The Ricard party took great precau-
tions to conceal the fact that they,
were returning emigran;s. but NJ. de
Ricard was impulsive and could hardlyI
refrain from joining in tho vehement
discussions that were carried on andl
expressing his opinions.
One day the siege OF Toulon was
spoken of. One of the travellers dining
at the table had been in the republican
army al the siege and boasled of ran
sacking several houses himself.
Il destroyed everything in the house
of the official De Ricard," he said. Il
threw his glassware out OF tho win
dows. broke the furniture and burned
all the house linen. Ii was magnifi-
cent! II that emigrant has ever gone
back TO his home how delighted he
must have been!"
M. de Ricard declared that such con-
duct was desplcable. A vio' dis
cussion began. Nine. de Ricard and
the Spaniard were terribly frightened.
They feared that this was not COIN
cidence, but trap of an agent of the
police.
AT that moment, by some happy iu-
spiration. the little DE Ricard seized
his glass and shouted: 10 the health
OF The republic, one and undivided,'
Then he jumped on chair aud sang
at the top OF his voice, "Allons. enfants
de In patrie.'
Every one joined in the "Marseill-
sisc," the national song. and no one
suspected that the father of such re-
publican small boy could be royalst.

Carter ii. Harrison and the aldermanic
committee put in nm appearance at the
hotel. The large reception room had
been reserved for the function.
Outside of the committee only few
spectators were present, and the
duchess and her suite watched the
proceedings from the farthest end of
the apartment. The mayor had in
tended to make the welcoming address
in Spanish, but on trying rehearsal
last night he discovered that his know
ledge of the language was hardly up
to date, whereupon he came to the con-
clusion that, after all, an English
speaking city ought TO receive its
guests in the English tongue. When
he had concluded his address the mayor
presented the duke with the freedom of
