a master piece of artistic workmanship and the throne room of marble and gold with the gorgeously gowned queen, grand duchess. duchess and ladies in waiting, the garbs of Felix and his attendants made a picture seldom equalled.
 At the appointed hour the curtain arose, the imperial band playing a grand march Felix was seen standing, his royal escorts kneeIing At a signal they arose, and then appeared coming up the grand stair ways on either side of the throne room a lady in waiting. These marched to the centre of the floor, met and together walked to the foot of the throne, where they were greeted and crowned by their Sir Knight Escorts. Six couples were thus crowned, each couple forming on either side of the throne immediately and waiting the coming of their Queen and the Duchess, the first lady In waiting then appeared and was crowned by the Duke and escorted to her station after salut- ing his majesty.
 Then came the Grand Duchess who was also crowned by the Grand Duke, the same ceremony following. The bugler sounded a call and her royal high ness appeared. a vision of lovelineess and beauty in her magnificent robe. His majesty met and crowned, her seating her beside him upon the throne. Then fol- lowed the stately royal minuet after which dancing became general. It was conceded by all that the coronation cere- mony was grand beyond compare, and the picture, when the entire royal party had assumed their stations was one to be remembered for time to come.
 Miss Kathleen williamson, the Grand Duchess of Mobile, Is debutante of this year. an inseparable friend of the Queen and the very autithesis in personal appearance. She comes of family noted for its beautiful women and has inherited their beauty to an unusual degree. In coloring, she Is frequently compared to the American Beauty rose and is as lovely as this flower In height she is not tall, but just right" with full, rounded figure, brown eyes and hair, brilliant coloring and the inexpresslbie charm of vivacious- ness. She has been great belle this winter and her appointment to the honor able position of Grand Duchess, was an admirable one.
 Her costume at the coronation ball was of white crepe de chine with which carried an enormous bunch of American Beauty roses.

 Mobile, Feb. g. The morning of the first day of the Nardi Gras festivities was ushered in with sunshine and an ideal spring atmosphere. NO better weather could have been de- sireo and early the strets were filled with moving, pushing, good-natured crowd, persons being present from all parts of tnis and adjoining States and from the lar North and West
 Ihere was marked absence of maskers on the streets because of the ordinance barring women from appearing on the thoroughfares in costume or mask In the afternoon there were large number of grotesque figures seen marching up and town the streets affording merriment to the younger folks.
 Yesterday was an equally pretty day and the river front, in the afternoon, was sight to behold. Conservative estimate would make the number of persons on the wharves sightseeing at fully. five thou sand at any one time. From St. Anthony Street South to Church Street the wharves were taxed to their capacity with people. The large ocean-going freight steamers were thrown open for inspection and many went aboard and peeped down into the holds of the great vessels. Gay bunting flew from the masts of the ves- k. One of the principal attractions was the river steamers as they came down from the upper rivers with full loads of hu- man freight. These, with the immense srowds already in the city by rail and water, swelled the number of visitors enormously
 Arrival of Felix III.
 At l o'clock this afternoon the clear Fones of gun from the Mobile battery Jtationed on the wharf at the foot of Dauphin Street, gave the signal that His Imperial Majesty, Felix III, had arrived and was about to enter into his Chief City of Joy. Vessels in the stream opened their whistles and blew shrill blasts as a welcome to the Emperor. The Roal Yacht appeared dressed in gala attire and on board was His Majesty with his reti- nue of attendants The good vessel came up to the chief landing place and the Ruler stepped ashore mid welcoming Jtrains from the royal band and the booming of cannon. mighty shout went up as the ruler in his robes of state ap- peared.
 Immediately on arrival of the royal party the grand marsHal had the proces- sion to form and the march to Bienville Square began. The procession was as fol- lows:
 Platoon Police Mounted
 Imperial Band.
 Detachment 1st Regiment, A.. N. G.
 Mobile Fire Department. Officers of Battleship Alabama and city
 officials in carriages.

 Imperial escort, mounted.
 The route of the parade was as follows: Up. Dauphfn to Royal; Royal to Govern ment; out Government to Dearborn; coun- termarch to Hamilton; thence to Dauphin; down Dauphin to Royal; up Royal to St. Louis; St. Louis to St. Joseph; St. Jo- seph to Bienvlle Square.
