The quaint ceremonies with which liing Edward VII, was proclaimed at various points of the metropolis exactly followed ancient precedents. The °Melees purposely arranged the funetiolt an hour ahead Of the published announcement, and the inhabitants when they awoke were surprised to find fila entire way between St. James' Palace and the City lined with troops. About 10,- 000.. soldiers, late Guards, Morse Guards, Foot Guards and other cav- alry and infantry regiments had been brought from Aldershot and London Barracks after midnight, All the ollieors had crape on their arms, and the drums and brass instruments shrouded with crape. The troops made an imposing spectacle, but they were entirely eclipsed by the strange spectacle presented by the °Metals of the College of Arms. The Proelumatfoa. The ceremony began at St. James' Palace, where at 1) o'clock Edward VII. was proclaimed Bing of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and Emperor of India,. The proclamation, which was read by William Henry Weldon, King -at - Arms since 1894., and formerly Wind- sor Herald. was as follows: "Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God to call to His mercy our Tate Sovereign Lady, Queen Victoria, or reseed and tolerates memory, by decease the Imperial Crown of the United Kingdom et Great Br.taln and Ireland Is solely and rightfully edam 1.0 the high and mighty Prince Albert Edward we, therefore, Ole Lords, spiritual and temporal, of this realm, being assisted by those of her late Majesty's Privy, Council, with num- bers of other prinetpnl gentlemen of enanty, with the Lem Mayer, the aldermen and the citmens o1 London, do now hereby with one voice. con- sent of tempo and heart, publish ami proclaim that the highand mighty Prince Albert Edward is now by the death of our tate sovereign of happy memory, become our only lawful and rtgnttul liege lore, Edward V11.. by the grace of God, Bing of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India, to wheat we do acknowledge .01 faith and constant obedience, with all herty and humble erection, be - leeching God, by Whom all kluge and Ancona do reign, to bless the Royal Prince, Edward VII., with long and happy years to reign over us." Greeted With Cheers. The proclamation was greeted by a fanfare of triumphant cheers and tries of "Goll Save the King." There was a large assemblage of officials and college heralds. Among those in attendance were Earl Roberts and members of the headquarters stall and other army officers, and there was present a great concourse of people from the commencement to the close. At the conclusion of the ceremony the band belonging to the Foot Guards, in the Friary Court, played "God Save the King." The Icing Not Present. The Xing was not present, but the members of his household witnessed the ceremony from Marlborough House. On the balcony overlooking the Friary Court, from which the proclamation was read, were •':e Duke of Norfolk and other oiltcers of state. The balcony was draped in crimson cloth. Beside the officials in resplendent uniforms were stationed the State trumpeters, and here were seen many prominent persons, among them Sir Arthur White, Private So- licitor to the Queen. In the yard of Marlborough house and the Friary Court was stationed a large body of police, soldiers and Foot Guards. The Foot Guards acted as a guard of honor and they were posted immediately beneath the bal- cony. Ancient Precedent Followed. The quaint ceremonies with which King Edward VII. was proclaimed at various points of the metropolis ex- actly followed ancient precedents and when the march was concluded, the trumpeters blew a blast, while the wondering crowd stood bareheaded and silenced, not knowing what to do, till the military band in the pro- cession struck up "God Save the King." This familiar air has still but one meaning in England, and the crowd took up the words feebly with "God Save the King" on the tongue, but with "God Save the Queen" in mind, A royal salute in celebration of His Majesty's accession was fired at noon in St. James' Park, A Bit of Exoitoment. The vagaries of an apparently harmless lunatic occasioned some ex- citement at Victoria station. Dur- ing the entraining of the `rang . for Osborne House a well-dressed Wdi- vidual bearing a letter addressed to His Majesty was permitted to pass the barriers. He hurried to an equerry' and said he wished to pre- sent the letter to the Xing personal- ly.. The man was handed over to the police. The envelope contained only a telegraph from, mm mm min only a telegraph forst, on which were the words: "1 wish to see my beloved Queen." yeing lecterns to Osborne. At 12.55 p. m.
