On Monday evening General Boob von Boobenstiff, Imperial Governor of New York, will be graciously pleased to attend a performance at the (Imperial) Winter Garden on Upper (Imperial) Broadway.  It is ordered that on the entrance of His Excellency the audience will spontaneously rise and break into three successive enthusiastic cheers.  Mr. Al Jolson will remain kneeling on the stage till the Gubernatorial All Highest has seated itself.  Mr. Jolson will then, by special (Imperial) permission, be allowed to make four jokes in German to be taken from a list supplied by the Imperial Censor of Humour.  The Governor, accompanied by his military staff, will then leave, and the performance will close.

It is ordered that, on Tuesday afternoon, as a sign of thankfulness for the blessings of the German peace, the business men of New York shall walk in procession from the Battery to the Bronx.  They will then be inspected by Governor Boobenstiff.  If the Governor is delayed in arriving at the hereafter-to-be-indicated point of general put-yourself-there, the procession will walk back to the Battery and back again, continuing so, pro and con, till the arrival of the Governor.

The approaching visit of His Royal and Imperial Solemnity the Prince Apparent of Bavaria shall be heralded in the (Imperial) City of New York with general rejoicing.  The city shall be spontaneously decorated with flags.  Smiles of cordial welcome shall appear on every face.  Animated crowds of eager citizens shall move to and fro and shouts of welcome shall, by order of the Chief of Police, break from the lips.  Among those who are expected to be in the Imperial city to welcome his Royal Solemnity will be the Hereditary Grand Duke of Schlitzin-Mein (formerly Milwaukee), the Prince Margrave of Wisconsin and the Hereditary Chief Constable of Nevada.

We are delighted to be able to chronicle that on the morning of the 14th there was born at the Imperial Residence of His Simplicity the Hereditary Governor of the Provinz (formerly State) of New York, in the (Imperial) city of Albany a tenth son to the illustrious Prince and Princess who rule over us with such fatherly care.  The boy was christened yesterday at the (Imperial) Lutheran Church and is to bear the name Frederick Wilhelm Amelia Mary Johan Heinrich Ruprecht.  The whole city of Albany is thrown into the wildest rejoicing.  The legislature has voted an addition of $400,000 per annum to the civil list for the maintenance of the young prince.  Joy suffuses every home.  This being the tenth son born to their Highnesses in ten years it is felt that the future of the dynasty is more or less secured.  Even the humblest home is filled with the reflected joy that streams out from the Residency.  Their Royal Highnesses appeared yesterday on the balcony amid the wild huzzoos of the people transported with joy.  His Simplicity the Prince wore the full dress uniform of an Imperial Jaeger of the Adirondacks, and Her Royal Highness was attired as a Colonel of Artillery.  It is impossible to express the jubilation of the moment.
