This city was crowded with peoplo from all parts of tho Empire and the world, who had come for the purpose of witnessing the ceremonies In honor of the event. The first-class hotels were filled with royalty.

The weather was fine and the enthusiasm of the people unbounded. The Emperor continues in the best of health and spirits. Ho received the royal guests at the palaco at elevon o'clock in tho morning. The reception appeared in no way to fatigue him, and he repeatedly appeared at one of tho windows bowing his acknowledgement of the enthusiastic cheers which reached his ears from the crowds on the street below. The day was ushered In by tho tolling of the church and other bells thtoughout the city.

Nearly every building, public and private, was gaily bedecked with flags and bunting in honor of the occasion. Busts of Emperor William wore displayed in every show window. Dense crowds in holiday attire filled tho streets. Early In the day the school chil dren or ail crecas us- i sembled in thclr buuoui rouiiis, luruiuu in procossion ana marched to the churches and svna- gogues to offer their prutses in honor of their beloved Kaiser. Tho students of the various universities and colleges marched by the Imperial palace, from a window ol Which the Emperor reviewed them.

The students cheered vociferously as they passed and the utmost enthusiasm prevailed, amounting to a perfect ovation. The Emperor bowed frequently as the students filed by. They sang and tho bands played tho national anthem. A number of mounted students led the procession. Those who brought up the rear wero also mounted.

The Imperial family and the royal guests drove in procession to tho palace to tender their congratulations. They were loudly cheered by tho crowds. The authorities of the municipality ot Berlin' proceeded In procession in the morning from the Town Hall to the church of Bt Nicholas to participate in tho communicative services celebrated in that edifice. Tho procession was accompanied by bands of music, trumpeters, and presented a gorgeous appearance. As the clergy and the members of tho municipal government, each attired in his robes of ofllce, entered the church, tho organ polled' forth a hymn ot taanltsgiving, ana a great shout went up from tho crowd surrounding the building.

Tho musical part of tho services wero strikingly appropriate and the festival sermon a panegyric of tho aged Emperor. At noon a royal salute was fired in tho Eocnigs Platz, and at one o'clock Prince Bismarck and General Von Moltke arrived at the palace and congratulated the Kaiser. They were enthusiastically cheered on their way to and from the palace, and acknowledged the ovation by repeatedly raising their head covering and bowing to the multitude. The day was celebrated in every town in Germany. The scenes during the evening wore mag-uliicent beyond description.

The entire city was illuminated, a large number ot luminous decorations being costly and unique, and the sky seemed ablaze with rockets and every conceivable species of fireworks. The most superb spectacle of all was exhibited in front of the Academy el Arts, and consisted of a huge picture three hundred feet long and sixty feethigh, depicting somo of the most interesting and important events of the Emperor's life. Prince Bismarck and Count Von Moltke, it Is said, havo received most munificent rewards for their invaluable service to the State, the character of which, however, is as yet unknown to the public, and all of the secretaries of departments (Ministers of the Empire) havo been decorated. The Emporor received a deputation of tho Imperial household in the evening and in a speech ot thanks for their congratulations said: "I have reached this ago by the grace ot God. If the Lord helps mo and wants me to, I may live to see another year." The Emperor conferred decorations upon Herrcn Van Puttkamer, Von Boetticher, Von Gossler, Von Schellendorf and Von Bchalz, Dr.

Lucius, General Von Caprlvl, Count Nesselrode and Count Herbert Bismarck. Tho Emperor announced at the Imperial reception, held at tho palace In tho afternoon, the bethrothal ot Prince Henry, second son of the Crown Prjnce of Prussia, to Princess Irene of Hesse. After the reception the Emperor and Empress attended the; family dinner given by the Crown Prince, Frederick William, at his palace. Bain fell during tho night, but it did not 'suffice to interfere with the rejoicings ot the peoplo who crowded the streets until a late hour, cheering, singing and admiring the" illuminations, which were unquestionably more beautiful and extenslyo than any hitherto seen in the capital, The Emporor was repeatedly, compelled to appear at the windows of the palace during tho evening to acknowledge tho greetings of the people. i Adventurous Editor Cross the Mluonrl on the lee.
