Chulgalongkorn of Siam today invited
all Hamburg to join in celebrating his
birthday. Champagne. red and white
wines of other descriptions were served
at Kurhaus without any limit. it being

should be entitled to three bottles of
wine, one each of champagne. white
and red wine. while in the grounds OF
the Kurhaus.
Three pavilions were erected where
free beer was distributed to all. The
king decided that the celebration
should continue at his expense for
three days. He is also distributing
large sums of money 10 the poor and
benevolent societies. Tonight he gives
a banquet to 600 persons. The people
of Hamburg are joining in the. spirit
OF the kings hospitality. HIS ma

of fireworks will be burned tonight at

countries. 1t is estimated that the
king of Siam has already spent 81 $780,
900 in Germany alone.
