Royal Train Arrives.

II was at 1925 O'Clock when the
royal train arrived at Portsmouth
Their majestics were met by Admiral
Moore of the British fleet, and officers
Of the naval guard of honor. When the
party had stepped aboard the yacht
Victoria and Albert the royal standard
was run up to the masthead.
An officer on the bridge of Lord
Nelson's flagship Victory had been
watching for this signal. Scarcely had
the standard been caught by the breeze
than there came across the water the
sight of flash of fire from an open
port Of the old flagship.
Before the report Of the gun reached
those on board the royal yacht or the
crowds that lined the shore and the
pleasure craft and sightseeing fleet,
there was another flash. Then there
was one continuous flashing Of fire
and booming of guns. Shots were
heard far up the line, and the word
was passed TO the farthermost ship six
miles away that the review had begun.

others, carrying the admiralty and
other officials, and escorted by four
