ENTERTAINING ROYALTY.
COST TO REPUBLICAN FRANCE
Paris, September 11
Some interesting figures show what it will cost to entertain worthily the foreign rulers who, from time to time, have honoured France with their presence, are embodied in an official report that has just been published. There are altogether seven monarchs in connection with whose visits the expenses are given. The entertainment, of all this Royalty, of course, involved a big outlay, the total amount spoil t being £149,700. It is not surprising that the Czar’s visit should have proved the most costly, s’nee Russia is Fra,nee’s allay, and the hospitality lavished upon her ruler would naturally be something of an exceptional character. The following list shows the cost of each Royal visit:—
Czar £61,176 King of Italy 12,800 King of Spain 31,000 King of Portugal ... 8,760 King of Norway ... 12,720 King of Denmark '... 12,044 King of Sweden ... 11,200
