Before the cere- monies commenced threatening clouds gathered and the early ar- eivale on the route of the proces- sion came provided against contin- gencies, The earlier crowds were en nowise as large as it had been generally expected they would be. Many onthusiasts, lvitlt camp stools and ample supplies of provender had spent the night on the best coigns of vantage that could be secured, ,and were In the sumo positions at six o'clock this morning. Most of the best positions along thio route of the procession were thickly crowd- ed by 8 o'clock. T1uolcingham Palace, naturally, was orie of the principal °entree of in- terest as it was the starting point of the •great pageant. Crowds as - *ambled there in immense numbora and the first Hearty cheer of the day wont u'p.wlton Ilio news was circulated that the ling was in the host of health and spirits ant Weil equipped to undergo the fatigue of elle day. Scenes of Enthusiasm. ' 13y 0.30 the Beene in the vicinity of the palace and the Mall was very animated. The roof of the pal- ace and those of alt the surrounie trig buildings were crowded with spec- tators, and the constantly arriving menthete o't the Royal tamely, with - their eultes and the appearance of rho other partlotpants in the pro- cession ellelted chcors varying in de- gree of entlnmslasm, aoeording to the popularity of Leo ltcr.souages re ognized by the people. The Duke of Connaught, who nide down the Mali in an automobile for the purpose of seeing that the Mili- tary arrangemeutfi along tho route Wore complete, was heartily cheered. Almost as animated Was the Keine in the vicinity of Westminster Lb - bey, where a band of intuit ste- tioned about the building relievo:l the tet?indtl of the early waiting and non After the doors Were opened state coaches, carriagen and autotnObilee rattled up in a cealecjeee line.

The Royal Procession. As the hour appointed for the de- parture of the Royal procession ap Proizohere, the excitement at Bucking lutnr Palace was .meet marked. Punc- tum to time the advatee guard of the royal earalcade issued from the arch- way. !Tei ltarsoa of the troopers swerved, norvausly as thee neared the wall oe humanity that cheered their coming. Shortly afterwards came elle Prince and Princess of Wales' procession, and, finally, within a few minutes, tltofr Majesties' State coach appeared at the gateway and 'the! ► Kin( and Queen Smiled and Bowed in response to the mighty roar of cheers that dwarfed all previous wel- comes. The scone in the vicinity was reonarka,ble. On the roof of the palace were perchedt a number of 'fashion- ably dressed ladies, members of the itousehoid, and their cheers, with the fluttering of their handkerchiefs, as the Ring and Queen entered the royal coach, gave the signal for deafening plaudits of the populace ,which greet- ed their Majesties as they emerged from •the gates. . The ovation was taken up by the crowds which throng- ed the, small, and was repeatedly ac- knowletigeat by the 000upants of the Statecoach!. The King loloked pale and rather fine drawn, and was by no moans as brawn and robust as pre - 1/101.1H reports had led one to ex- pect, and while punctiliously bowing from side to side he did so with a gravity very unusual to him.

The cheers wiling greeted the pair were load and unmistakably genuine, and very different from the perfunc- tory applause which usually greets the appearance al .,members of the royal family. Tee three processions to the Abbey were carried out ec- cording to programme, and the only striking -teatures of 'tete first • two werethe gorgeous state carriages and . the beautiful trappings and h iersea. The. crowd, paid but little attention to the occupants of • the vehicle. The Prince of Wales sat quietly in .his carriage, but the' Princess of Wales .Sowed and smiled Constantly,'• It was not till the King's procession came that there was any show of enthusiasm. Lord Kitchener, Ad- miral Seymour and Gen. Gasalee, as they rude together, came In for much attention, but they all seemed to look straight ahead and pay little attention to the people along the route.. Lord Kitchener, in the re- splendent full dress uniform of n. gen- eral, also looked unfamiliar, and many persons did not recognize frim. Tee Indians 'were undoubtedly the melt picturesque feature of the procession, while the state coaeh of the Bing, drawn by the fat Hano- verian horses which figured in all of the late Queen eicturia's processions; seemed niuclt more fairy -land -like than usual. The progress of the royal cortege was marked by no special incident, with exception of an accident to Lord leeward Pelham Clinton, one of the grooms. in waiting. It Was a continued Triumph and reached ire climax on the arrival at the Abbey, where there was a scene of unparalleled enthusiasm which did not cense until their Ma- jesties disappeared in the annex. The accident to Lord Pelham Clinton created considerable 'excitement in the Mall. Tiro igrome in waiting, in a closed carriage, was passing York Steps when lits conveyance collided with another royal carriage going at high speed in an opposite direc- tion. • The ]gorses fell and there ap- peared to bo a bad mix -tip. The police extricated the teams with soine difficulty, and Lord Pelham Clinton, who was grey slightly hurt, proceeded.

Their ermine caps presented a solid mass of white, After 10 o'clock the organ and band played, while the spectators, many of whom showed signs of sleepi- ness, ohat'ted or swept with their glasses vveat portions of the Abbey they could see Glom their seats. The service commenced with tile oontsecratien of the regalia, The procelssion of the clergy with the regalia then proceeded from the al- tar to the annex, all present stand- ing up and the choir stngIni "0 God, Our Help in Ages Past." Preceding the regalia came the boys of Westminster Abbey, follow- ed by the chaplain of the Chapel Rdyal and the choir in royal uni- form. The Duke 01 Connaught took his place beside the Prince of Wales in the Abbey as the procession en- tered, boowing as he passed the P i mine. In the Abbey. In Westminster Abbey the doors of that edifice were scarcely opened, and t]io gold stiel(e and ushers had barely found tholr stations, before the seats began, to fill. Peers and peeresses swept up the naive, their scarier and ermine making vivid con- treats with the deep blue of the car- pet. As they arrived before the thrones, they separated, the peers going to the right and the peeresses to the left. .A. peculterly beautiful effect was presented by the King's and the Queen• a boxes, comprising half a doz- en rows of chairs in white satin, re- lieved only by the crimson oe the seats. Beyond the structural de- corations for the seating of specta- tors there was little attempt at any display, and the old gray arches lent their stately perspective to the seem, untouched by flags or any gleam of color. The various chairs to be used by the Kang and Queen In the service, attracted special at- tention, but wltn,t inevitably caught the eye was tifo Glittering Array of (fold Plate brought from various royal deposi- tories, ranged along the chancel and batted the alter.

Arethe acclamations died away the clanging of the joy bells, the noise of guar and the shouting of the peo- ple outside penetrated into the Ab- ney, where the King sat, motionless, his dazzling crown on his head, and hie sceptre held firmly in his band. After clinging "Be strong and play tits meta," and the presentation of the Bible, the King advanced and knelt while he received the benedic- titon. He then walked to the 'great throne, whore he stood on the dais for the first time, surrounded by nobles. The Archbishop of Canter- bury followed, the King being oblig- ed to ata,nd while awaiting the ar- rarvel of the Archbishop.

The aroltblehop, who seemed to be West, faint, had to practically be car- ried to the altar. Tho incident ere• atod considerable excitement, and several prelates rushed forward to help the primate. The next person to pay homage to His Majesty was the Prince of Wales, who knelt until King Telward held out his hand, which he kissed, after touching the crown as a sign of fealty. Tho Prince of Wales then started to return to his seat, when the King drew him back ane put his arms round him and klsaed him. After this the King once more gave the Prince his hand, this time to shake, and the hearty vigor of King Ed- ward's. grasp showed tlin.t his hand at any rate had not loot its strength.
