the idea apparently struck him that the
people in the meadows had not received
sufficient notice. He remedied this by ask

FLOWERS FOR THE STUDENTS
The Prince, a little later. took few
flowers which Countess William Bismarck
had laid on the balustrade and
threw them one by one among the students,
who struggled wildly to obtain possession
of them. The Countess thereupon entered
the house and brought forth fresh supplies
of flowers and garlands, which Prince Bis
marck distributed for a long time to the
forest of outstretched white-glovei hands,

of the house, where the floral tributes were
displayed, the students began picking a

TORGHLIGHT PROCESSION.
The feature of to-night's celebration was
