THE MIKADO CATCHES A TRAIN.
Here is a glimpse of the Emperor of Japan hurrying to catch a train. “Suddenly from the palace gates two motorcycles and sidecars went dashing by. Then others, then a car containing officers, and at last, strictly escorted by police motor-cycle, a long, hearse-like limousine, of which the roof was decorated by four glistening silver knobs. "The Imperial family, a flash of uniforms and ostrich feathers —but the crowd did not lift their eyes towards the car and the eyes of the policemen never left the silent crowd. No cheering. The Imperial car rushed by and disappeared down the avenue which leads to the railway station. “Slowly, as if waking from a stupor, the crowd replaced their hats and began to move.”
