COBURG PRESERVES AIR

of the Associated Press

Correspondence of the Associated Press
COBURG.-Despite the republican
cation Of Germany, Coburg has re-
manned a city with an almost ancient
court atmosphere, in which the daily
routine, the manners and customs of
its populace are entirely governed
by the four princely households of:
re eX-CZar Ferdinand of Bulgaria,
che English Duke of Albany.
who is now the Duke Karl Eduard of
Sachsen-Coburg-G -Gotha: the Russian
~c:stender Gear" Cyril, cousin of the
re Car of Russia, and the Prince
xtegent Won HohenloheLangenburg.
The center of public adulation Is
the Duke Karl Eduard, who, like a
medieval sovereign. reigns on a lofty
peak in Coburg Castle, from which
his pennant of green and gold may
be seen from afar. Visitors in town
are. struck by the incessant allusions,
to his royal highness" and by the
many enlightening inscriptions that
the respective shopkeeper is ''pur-
veyor to his royal highness the
duke" When the ducal family enter
a concert hall or the theater, the en-
tire audience rises, mothers and
daughters, curtseying with abandon
ment, and the men bowling slowly
from the hip.
In comparison, ex-Czar Ferdinand
leads more retired life, either at the
Hofgarten Palais or in his historical
Buerglassc5 c5loesschenn. Despite his
66 years lie is still something of a
Beau BrumAlel and an ardent theater-
goer.
