On his arrival at Boulogne the President embarked on the French cruiser Leon Gam- betta, and was met in the Channel by a Oumber of British destroyers, which con- voyed the cruiser across. Outside Dover a great fleet had gathered, forming a striking feature of the pageant in honour of the President. It consisted of nearly 50 warships, and was by far the most powerful naval display ever witnessed on that part of the coast. All the ships were gaily decorated rainbow fashion, and were manned by housands of British tars, who gave President Fallieres a hearty cheer as the French ships passed through the lines, whilst the guns of the fleet and of the fortifications roared out a aalute. Dover was decorated and illuminated on an extensive scale, especially the latter, which comprised three miles of electrical festooning in tricoloured lamps. All along the main streets were displayed mottoes giving welcome to England's guest. Immediately in front of the cruiser's berthing-place had been created a special Pavilion. Here Prince Arthur of Gohinaught received the President on behalf of the King.
