circumstances Tuesday, was started on

costumes. They wore black doublets,
knee breeches, white stockings, black
plumed hats and swords. AS the pro"

third son. Prince Gustave and the
Princesses rhyra and Dagmar, the
three youngest children of the late
king. who had travelled with him and
the queen from Nice, came immediate
ly after their brother. Queen Louisa
iust before the casket was moved, left
the rooms Of the hotel of her own ac'
cord and, with n voice breaking with
emotion, addressed a few touching
phrases to the members of the Danish
COLONY. who. with large number OF
citizens of Hamburg, had assembled or
the stair case.
Her majesty reminded them of the
pleasure her husband had always found
in visiting Hamburg, and thanked them
for their kindness and consideration
since his death,
The incident was unexpected and
MANY Of those present were weeping
when the dneen finished.
A military escort was waiting out
side the hotel and saluted as the caske'
was borne out. while great crowds OF
silent spectators gathered along ths
route TO the station notwithstanding
the drizzliug rain,
Another guard of honor was drawn
up inside the train and presented arms
as the casket was placed on the fu
neral car.
