4 is almost unnecessary to say that her Majesty and
her illustrious consort were received all along the line
of railway between London and Wolverton with those
dernotistrietioos of enthusiasm r. hick have accompanied
their progress on former occasions by the same route.
At the Wolverton station some preparation had been
made for the recep.ion of her Majesty and the Prince,
The platform of the station was covered with crim-
son cloth, and on the opposite side (that is to
say on the " down" line) there was accommodation
for the public, who were admitted by tickets. The
special train arrived at Wolverton at ten minutes to two
o'clock. As it slowly move d up to the st4tioll her
Majesty was received with loud cheers by the spectators.
A company of the Buekinghernshire militia were drawn.
up on the platform on one side of the entrance to,140;
Majesty's apartment, and en the other side two squadrons
of the Bucks Yeomanry, dismounted, were posted. Her
Majesty, the Prince, and their Rite having alighted,
proceeded, attended by the Marquis of Chandos, and
some of the officers of the railway, to the apartments
prepared for their use. The room, provided for her
Majesty and the Prince were on the first. floor, those for
the suite were on the ground-floor. In each refresh.
ments wire provided. After the lapse of about twenty
minutes it was intimated that the royal travellers were
ready to prope.ed, and almost immediately after they
entered the carriages, which had been dralvii up at the
hack of the station, Here a body of the Bucks Yeomanry
Cavalry, commanded by Major Lucas, was drawn up,
being the first of the troops appointed to escort her
Majesty to Stowe.
The distance from Wolverton to Stony Stratford is
about three miles. At almost every point on the way
people were collected, some on foot, and many in
vehicles of different kinds, who loudly cheered as the
carriages passed. There were two triumphal arches be-
tween Wolverton and Stratford. There were in the town
of Stony Stratford altogether five triumphal arches,
some larger and handsomer than the others, but ell,
proving the loyalty and liberality of those who had
gone to the trouble and expense of erecting them. As
the royal col tege approached to within about half a mile
of Buckingham the horses were changed, and at this
point the royal outriders were replaced by two outriders
in the Duke's livery. From the hill, just beyond where
the road winds round, the town of Buckingham looks
pretty and almost picturesque. On the present occasion
it presented a scene of great animation and gaiety. A
little further on, the first arch of the town of Bucking-
ham was seen. The royal party here proceeded at a slow
pace, and were greeted with deafening cheers. The
arch bore the inscription, " Hail beloved Queen!" Her
Majesty passed under this arch at a quarter to three.
The town of Buckingham itself vied with other places
which have been similarly honoured by her Majesty, in
exhibiting all possible external marks of welcome and
respect. A procession of the authorities and people of
the town was formed for the purpose of receiving her
Majesty and the Prince, and accompanying them through
the town. The procession formed at the Town-hall at
one o'clock. .It consisted of a detachment of yeomanry,
commanded by Colonel Barnard, followed by a number
of the borough police, and a band playing the national
anthem. Immediately after came a body of the gentry
and clergy of the county. They were followed by a body
of the inhabitants of Buckingham, the corporate officers,
the Members for the Bor. ugh, the members of the Town
Council, the Aldermen, the Borough Magistrates and
the Clerk of the Peace, the Town Clerk, the Mayor, and
the Chaplain. These preceded the Royal cortege, which
was followed by a procession of the trades of the town
and different societies.
In the Market-place the ceremony of delivering up
the corporate insignia of the town was performed. The
Mayor, Mr. Henry Smith, advanced to the carriage in
which her Majesty and the Prince were, and tendered
• to the Queen the mace on a cushion.
The Mayor said—" May it please your Majesty to ac-
cept this mace, which I, as Mayor of this ancient and
loyal borough, humbly present in dutiful submission to
your Majesty's royal prerogative and authority,"
To this the Queen renlied, returning the mace, " Mr.
Mayor, I beg you will 'keep it. I am much gratified
with my reception in this borough."
The cheers of the people, who filled the Market-place
in masses, were deafening.
The entrance-gate of the avenue leading to Stowe
called the Long-drive, which is more than a mile and a
half in length was passed through by the royal party
immediately after leaving the last arch erected by the
people of Buckingham. Here the Members (including
Sir Thomas Fremantle), the clergy, and other authori-
ties, were drawn up on ether side. There were also
parties of the yeomanry and a band. At a short dis
tance further, where there is a rise in the ground, yougain
from an eminence the first view of the magnificent man-
sion now honoured by her Majesty's presence.
In a few [minutes the royal cortege entered the avenue
which leads to the north front of the house, between two
pavilions of great size ornamented with sculpture. At
this point a new feature presented itself. A vast body
of horsemen, tenants of the Duke, were ranged on each
side of the way, their hats ornamented with green bands,
on which were inscribed the words " God save the
Queen." These horsemen closed in after the proces-
sion, and followed in a thick column up to the house.
This junction of the tenantry had a very imposing sight.
At the north, or chief entrance to the mansion, the
Duke of Buckingham was waiting to receive her Ma-
jesty, which he did by advancing to the carriage door
when her Majesty drove up. The Duchess was on the
steps, where a temporary canopy had been projected
from the portico, to protect her Majesty as she alighted.
The semi-circular court-yard, which is before the north
front of the mansion, was one vast mass of persons,
chiefly horsemen. Extending from the one side to the
other of the semicircle was a line of labourers in white
snaockfrocks. There were also some of the yeomanry,
and a band playing the national anthem. The cheers
of the people, as her Majestyalighted, were deafening.
Her Majesty and the Prince, after having been re-
ceived by their noble host and hostess, were conducted
through the hall, which is of noble proportions,- and filled
with valuable pictures, bronzes, altorelievos, and marbles
into the saloon, from which they passed to the left wing of
the mansion, in which are situated the rooms appropriated
to the private use of the royal visitors. These apart-
ments are fitted up in a style of lavish magnificence.
Most of those who have visited Stowe will remember the
"Rembrandt" room, the walls of which are covered with
some of the finest works of that painter. This is her
Majesty's bed-room. The drawing-rooms and other
apartments appropriated to the use of the royal visitors,
as distinguished from the staterooms, are furnished in
the most rich and exquisite style.
It is understood that her Majesty's visit will be com-
paratively private. The number of guests in the house,
exclusive of the family of the noble host, will not exceed
twenty four or twenty-five.
