The German Emperor so far has been fortunate in every-
thing but the weather, which has been excessively uncertain. He attended the wedding of his cousin, a daughter of Princess Christian, with Prince Aribert of .Anhalt, on Monday, and on Wednesday he came to London and attended a special per- formance at the Opera. The scene is reported to have been most splendid, the house being crammed with royalties, nobles, men in splendid uniforms, and ladies in full dress, blazing with diamonds. On Friday, at noon, his Majesty drove to the City, to be entertained at Guildhall, through vast crowds of spectators, and up to Friday evening nothing had occurred to mar the festivities. The reception of the Germans by the populace has been entirely cordial, though it is doubtful if, with the exception of his Majesty himself, they know who the magnificoes are. The only speech the Emperor has made as yet was sensible and simple. The authorities at Windsor presented him on his arrival with rather f
nil-
mouthed addresses, in which "Imperial Majesty" is repeated over and over again with a fatal redundancy of effect. The Emperor, in reply, only thanked them, and said he was very glad to visit his " grandmamma," who had always been very kind to him.
