her majesty the queen in carriage heavily ornamented with gold and trimmed with drab silk, the vehicle being drawn by four horses. She nev- CT appeared more charming and was evidently as popular with the people as the others, The various princesses and 'hochdamen'' made up the rest of the royal party.
 The riding of Emperor Joseph was the subject of general comment. He rides fiery steed with the deXterlty of an American cowboy. His orders to his regiment were given in robust voice and obeyed with wonderful pre- cision. The Austrian emperor, but for his snow white beard and striking re- semblance to the Saxon ruler, would never be held for man of siXty-elght years. He rides and commands as man half his years. Grown Prince Frederick August, Prince George (brother of the king) and Prince { Johann George, each share the com mand over their respective battalions' | To witness the manoeuyers or thls vast body of highly disciplined men, | one is forcibly impressed with the TOT midable war material Germany pos sesses-on land at least. Representa- tives were present from all the princi- pal nations, including the United | States.

 The new mammoth railway station IS finally completed and was officially op- 1 ened the 18th instant. It is perhaps 1 the finest railway station in Europe. It is said to cost somewhat over sixty million marks or about fifteen million dollars. The rotunda with it's Italian marble staircases, frescoed walls and ceilings, etc, give one the impression l the entrance is that of an art gallery rather than of a railway station. The waiting hall for first and second class | passengers is a work of art in reality The entire walls are inlaid with tiling presenting views of picturesque places along the line of the road. The work was extended at the famous porcelain factory at Meissen. The remaining decorative effect is cream and gold. Some trains arrive and depart from the ground floor while the through trains are boarded from the floor above. In the rotunda are the ticket offices, bag
 
 and shops for the sale of cigars, con- fectionery, newspapers, flowers, and, in fact, almost everything a traveller might wish for, while on the first floor are dining rooms which are excelled by but few local hotels
