Visit to Iceland

CHAPTER XI
14/98

Rows of pillars support the galleries, or separate the larger and smaller saloons.

In the niches, and in the corners, round the pillars, abound fragrant flowers, and plants in chaste vases or pots, which transform this place into a magical garden in winter.

Concerts and _reunions_ take place here every Sunday, and the press of visitors is extraordinary, although smoking is prohibited.

This place will accommodate 5000 persons.
That side of the park which lies in the direction of the Potsdam-gate resembles an ornamental garden, with its well-kept alleys, flower-beds, terraces, islets, and gold-fish ponds.

A handsome monument to the memory of Queen Louise is erected on the Louise island here.
On this side, the coffee-house Odeon is the best, but cannot be compared to Kroll's casino.
