There is no question that the Ills of the

the good time the amir had at Agra. He
liked everything from the bagpipe salute
that greeted him on arrival as a feature
of his formal reception to the remarkable
spectacle of a vast crowd bathing in the
Jumna river during the eclipse of the sun.
The accompanying picture, taken by an
Agra photographer indicates the interest
that any traveller would take in the scene.
The formal reception was necessarily
largely of a military character. The entire

reached the important city of Agra ten

where he industriously took In all the

The fortresses in these towns naturally
