1t was a marvellous spectacle to watch
the horsemen approaching. The trun-
pets could be heard sounding the trot UNI
| til about half mile in front of the
dais, when they blared forth the charge.
On came the horses, the thunder of
their iloof beats ningling with the rattle
OF accoutrements, the troopers waving
their swords. Then at fifty yards from
the dais the call to halt burst from the
trumpetS, the officers waved their swords
as signal to stop, and the men refined
IN their horses at the outer limit of the
garden in front of the dais

which shook the ground. His face was
animated and he pointed out to the
czarina the immense stretch of horses
as they approached the pavluon

then entered the carriages in waiting
and drove to Betheny where luncheon

LOUBET'S SPEECH.
In his speech at the luncheon which fol-
| lowed the review today, President Lou
bet created somewhat of a sensation by
saying:
The Franco Russian alliance is pleds-
ed to settlements inspired by justice and
humanity"
Whether Justly or otherwise, some of
his hearers took the remark to refer to
affairs in South Africa.
The full text of NJ Loubet's~ speech is
as follows:
Sire-In thanking your majesty and
her majesty the empress in the name of
the French republic for being so good as
to attend the stirring spectacles of the
last few days, my thought goes back to
the great political work which preceded
them and which lends them their whole
significance. Prepared and concluded by
your august father Emperor Alexander
Ill., and President Garnet. and solemniv
proclaimed on board the Admiral
Pothuau by your majesty and President
Faure, the alliance of Russia and France
mas mad time to affirm its character and
bear fruit. If none may doubt the essen
tlal pacific idea from which it arose. no
more can anyone fail to perceive that 1t
mas contributed powerfully to the main
tenance of the malance between the
forceS of Europe, a necessary condition
OF peace, Which to be fruitful could not
remain precarlous. 1t has developed with
the years, and the questions which have
arisen have found it watchful and reso-
lutte, reconciling it's own interests with
the general interests of the world 1t is
moderate because it is strong and is won
over in advance to settlements which arc
inspired by justice and humanity. The
good which it has done is pledge that
IL VIII do still more, and it is in that finn
confluence that, after paying pious trib-
ute TO the noble founder of the work of
winch this day is magnificent consecra
tion, raise my glass to the glory and
happiness OF her majesty and of an her
family, and to the greatness and nros-
Perlty OF Russia, the friend and ally of
France Va
THE CARS REPLY.
The Russian anthem was then PLAYED
and the car, in clear and distinct
voice, read his reply, as follows:
