 Review At Annapolis
 The royal party left Washington early yesterday morning for Anna polls where the queen reviewed the midshipmen, after which she was the official guest of the city of Bal timore. The entire trip was made by motor in a driving rain.
 Enthusiasm of the crowds along the route was not affected. however, and in Baltimore the royal visitors received what was said to have been the most enthusiastic acclaim since their arrival in America.

Prince Nicholas in the uniform of lieutenant of the Rumanian navy, was particularly interested. The royal party stood under a canvas while reviewing the midshipmen.
 The party entralned for New York at Baltimore and shortly afterwards Dr. James R. Scott, Of New York. physician, consulted with the queen and advised her to rest for an hour. Dr. Scott said her majesty was physically and emotionally ex- hausted," from her strenuous day. He warned her to conserve her strength for the long tour of the country yet to come.
