Long tables extended through the passageways on the first floor. Here was spread an a Legart banquet for the thousands of guests present. In the first and second balconies were Small tables from which fruit drinks and Light refreshments were served. At each intersection of the passageways was a platform on which a musical entertainment was Given. These entertainments were going on in different pans of the House quot at the same time so everybody could hear and see. There were Gypsy choruses a chorus of russian men Oue of russian women Sontus and dances by the Graceful Lite people of Little Russia. It was All very novel and of a purely russian nature. I he banquet was wonderful to be. Everyone ate As much As Long and often As he chose. Wine flowed like water. When we stepped out to take our Carriage at one o cock we found the streets and walks crowded with the poor men women and children Many of them laying asleep leaving just room for the carriages to pass.

Honan went to the Congress while mrs. Cotton and i went to the reception rooms of the ladies committee where we joined a party going to the Kremlin. Every morning the ladies who were alone met in these rooms where the trips were arranged and interpreters ready to accompany them. It was very Nice As most of the husbands were in the Congress and most of the ladies were timid about going out alone. Mrs. Cotton and i soon deserted the party for we preferred not being hurried and found we could gel Almonti better alone. We spent the entire Day at the Kremlin visiting the tre sur the monasteries climbing to the Summit of the Tower of Ivan Etc. The next Day mrs. Cotton and i Well occupied our time in sight seeing and were joined by our husbands at the picture gallery at one o clock in the evening we drove out several Miles to a Park where a Garden party was Given.
