Impressive Scene in the Ancient Abbey as

ate quickly passing stage coaches,

Buckinghein Palace, naturally, was
tine of the principal centres of in.-

of the pagenet. Crowds assembled
there in immense numbers, mid the
first hearty cheer of the day went up
when the news Was circulated that

to Undergo • the fatigues of the day.

•- the military aerangements along the
route were complete, was heartily
eledred. Almost' as animated was
the scene in the vicinity. of Westmin-
ster Abbey„ where the bands of Mu-
sic stationed about the building re-
lieved the tedium of the early wail -
hg and soon after the (Mots were
•opened. State :coaches, carriages
and antomebiles rattled -up in a cense
loss line, the rich apparel of their
, et -wants elieiting hearty approval,
however, was surpassed by
the reception accorded to the men

. :shim:it at a swinging pace to take
01) a fievoted position eimeding the
voute neor the Ahbey. ,'''The Colomat

were warmly welcomed,. the Fijians
hi petticoats, the centre of Much in-
terest, and a• lied !Indian Chief, in
his native • costume, feathers and
blanket, decimated with the 'custom -
pry mirrors, caused the Most lively
anitisennent.
As the hour appointed for the de-
parture of the royal procession ap-
proached the excitement about Buck-
ingham Palace was most marked.
Puncenal to iiine the advance guard
pf the royal cavalcade issued: from
the archway, the horses ofthe
troopers curvetting nervously as
they • faced the Wall of humanity
that cheered their coming. Short-

• Malty Within a few minutes their
•iSajestiee state coach appeared at
the gateway and the Xing and Queen
smiled and bowed M response to
THE MIGHTY ROAR OF CHEERS
that dwarfed all previous welcomes.
The scene in the vicinity Was re-
markable. On the roof of the pal-
• ace were perched •a number of fash-
ionably dressed ladies, members of
the household, and their cheers, •with
the fluttering of their handkerchiefs
• as -the Xing and Queen entered the
royal coach, gave the signal,toe the
deafenieg- plaudits, of the populace
which greeted their Majesties as
they emerged front the. gates.The
• ovation was taken up by the crowds
which thronged the Mall and was re-
peatedly acknowledged by the occu-
pants of the state coach. The Xing
• looked pale and rather fine drawn

robust as .previous reports had led
one to expect, and while punctilious-

• The three processions to the Abbey
were carriecl out abcording to pro-
gramme, and the only striking Seat-
ures of the first two were the gor-
geous ,state carriages and the beau-
tiful trappings and horse.
The crowd paid but little atten-
tion to the occupants of the ve-
hicles. The I rince of Wales sat
quietly in his caiTiage. but the
Princess of Wales smiled and bowed
constantly, :It was riot till the
Xing's procession came that there
was any show of enthuslasui.

The doors of the Abbey were
scarcely opened and the gold sticks

making vivid contrasts with • the
