The celebration continues; visiting the Queen

The Court and visitors rode through the city during the evening in some hundreds of carriages making the scene appear still gayer.  The horses of the Queen of Holland, Emp of Russia and many smaller sovereigns who have residence in Berlin was most brilliant.  In fact nothing could surpass the brilliancy of the scene.  The evening although rather unpleasant proved more favorable than was anticipated during the day.  After satisfying ourselves with the scene, returned to our rooms which we found lighted also as were all the others in the whole of the city.

To-day also the streets were lined with carriages, the same persons calling to pay their [57] respects to the Queen.  It would seem as though the line of carriages must cease soon, but they still came on.  The gentlemen all in uniform or court-dress, and the ladies most gaily dressed as a matter of course.  From our window we saw every one getting out of, or into their carriages.  To-morrow a great Ball is to be given, and the festivities continued for a fortnight--by balls, dinner-parties, &c.  So completed our day with visiting the Museum containing some fine pictures and bronzes.
