 The route. especially Inter der Linden, was crowded from daybreak with eager and most good natured sightseers. There were no disturbances, the police arrange ments being comprehensive in enforcing or der and preventing dangerous crowding. Arriving spectators after were excluded from the route, which was doubly fanked from the Siegs-Allee to the Brandenburg gate by the Berlin Veterans association. many grey-bearded men wearing the iron cross.
 The route from the gate to the castle was lined with troops.

He drove down Unter der Linden to the Potsdam station at $40 a. m in an open carriage, accompanied by Prince Henry, who wore the uniform of an Aus trian admiral. His majesty was cheered by the crowds all the way. The greetings between the two emper- ors were most cordial, the monarchs em- bracing and kissing each other on both cheeks.
