On Wednesday morning the King and Queen received representatives of

the British colony at the Britiah. Embassy. In the afternoon there was a brilliant review of troops at Vincennes, ending with the indispensable and ever impressive charge of cavalry to the accompaniment of quick-firing guns. After the review there was a visit to the Hotel de Ville, and in the evening there was a gala performance at the Opera. On Thursday morning the King and Queen visited the British Hospital and the Exhibition of British Decorative Art at the Louvre ; in the afternoon they attended the races at Auteuil, and in the evening dined with the French Premier, M. Doumergue. The King and Queen do not spare themselves, but they are rewarded by the knowledge that the visit has been from every point of view an unqualified success.
