1 74 VIZIER'S 



superbly caparisoned,, with His prime minis- 

 ter Ussan Ruza Kawn on the left of his state 

 elephant. While all the rest of his court., 

 arranged to the right and left, agreeably to 

 their rank; of which they were extremely 

 punctilious. 



The line of elephants on the march, 

 amounted to four or five hundred; at each 

 extremity of them were the cavalry; for- 

 ming altogether a curved line, with the centre 

 pointing forward. Close before the Vizier 

 ran two men with bags of money in eacli 

 hand, of different degrees of value ; and imme- 

 diately before them several men carrying 

 hawks of various kinds; on each side of these, 

 the dog keepers; each holding a brace or 

 leash of grey -hounds. * The line thus for- 

 med, proceeded straight towards the tents, 

 indiscriminately over cultivated and unculti- 



* The author was disgusted to see some beautiful 

 English dogs, coupled with country dogs, ill formed, 

 and without a single hair on any part of their bodies.
