temporary gangway at the west main
entrance, by which the imperial party
arrived, was carpeted with purple. On

lobby the Emperor and Empress found
awaiting them high personages, who
had been invited to the ceremonies. At

to the Emperor. This was deposited
in hollow stone, which stands in the
centre of the lobby under the cupola,

handed q mallet to the Emperor, re

high thought be with whatever is de-
bated and decided in this house.. Great
time has brought what many genera
tions have dreamed and hoped for.
The Emperor's new Rathhaus is a sign
of Germany united, which may God
guard"
The Emperor, wearing the uniform
of the garde de corps, with covered
head, struck the stone three times with
the hammer. saying: PRO gloria ct
patria." The Empress, who was dressed
in mourning, and wore the insignia of
the Black Eagle, performed the same
action, and was followed by the princes.

Siegerkranz," and after three cheers
for the Emperor had been called for by
the Bavarian Minister, and given with
awill, the formal aesemblage dispersed.
The architect of the building proceeded
to escort the Emperor and others
