9Germany's representatives are a part of the Potsdamer Reds of the First guard uhlan. This is the emperor's body guard, and is under command of Lieut. V. Richter. The uniform consists of a dark blue coat trimmed with narrow red braid, red trousers, high top boots, and an immense red cloth breastplate, whence the company derives its name. The helmet is red and black, with a white horsetail pompom. The Cossacks, all wiry-looking, bearded fellows, left their home in the Caucasus mountains March 9, and have been constantly on their journey since. Prince Ivan Rostomow Macheradsc is in command. Their undress uniform, which they all wore yesterday, consists of a high, round cap, top boots, and long blouse reaching to the knees, gathered at the waist by a girdle. They are not warlike in appearance, but each man wears on his breast a row of little tubes filled with powder, thrust into tight-fitting pockets. The American soldiers are in command of Sergt. Maj. Edward Polk and Sergt. Southmayd. They will do Uncle Sam great credit, as they are said to be the finest riders in the service. | 9 |
