Sedan day passed very quietly this year.
Some decorations were put up, but business
was not interrupted and there was no
big parades. Even a majority of the news
papers were silent, and the rain in the
evening prevented the intended illumina-
ton of the exposition. The general impress
sion is that the desire to celebrate the sur
render of Napoleon III to the PrussianS at
Sedan is dying out.
