From early in the morning steamers were setting out to meet the yacht off Prinkipo, and by, the, time of her arrival there some thirty to thirty-five staamees, wita probably ten thousand people on board, were awaiting her.

The city is smothered in 'flags and has been illuminated for three and tasteful nights. Elaborate triumphal arches of wood have been set up in the principal streets: decked by day with evergreens, they are brilliantly illuminated by night. Houses and buildings are lit up; the balconies of minarets are circled with of wel- lamps, and inscriptions come are traced on the sky by means of lamps strung on ropes (mahiehs)
