Sixteen thousand cavalry executed the charge in splendid style, stopping only a few yards in front of the Czar. The magnificence and glitter of the display worked those present into a state of fnzied enthusiasm.
The President, in proposing the toast of the Pussian forces, said that the Imperial visit would leave ineffaceable memories, and solemnly affirmed the unchangeable friendship of the two nations. The Czar, in reply, expressed his de light at the spectacle they had just seen, and endorsed M. Faure’s remarks about the friendship between the armies of the two nations, which, he said, would be ani mated by a profound sentiment of frater nity.
