Tokyo, Jan. 2l.-Attcr six years

at $l0,000,000, the national shrine to
the late Emperor Mutsuhito was open.

and amid impressive manifestations
of loyalty, For three days The popu.
lace of Tokyo celebrated the OCCASION
Every street was decorated with 5ant-
ing, and from the humblest door IAN
terms were displayed at night,
The municipality gave flower show
and open-air performances and the
atrical performances in iIibiya park,
but for the most part the festivities
were comparatively organized by the
citizens in different wards, st hun.

been erected whore vaudeville shows |
were given and there were fireworks |
both night and day.
Thousands From Country
over 250Go0 persons from the coun-
try districts visited the city during
the festival.
The shrine is a typical Shnto build
Ing of plain wood, and of the simplest
possible constructions. The opening
ceremony was attended by over 300
persons and officials, ana lasted about
three hours The central feature was
the delivery to Prince lcuiio Warder
of the shrine, of the name tablets u

The scene where these mnltitudps

the other returning.
The whole of this roadway was -,
brilliantly lighted and decorated with
flags and ornamental lanterns. But
once the torli at the entrance to the
shrine had been passed great change !
came over the scene. The modern 4
world was left behind, the gold and N

of the way was made under the shade \
of gigantic pine trees, which might G
