at this point the procession grows moro and
more exalted on the rank Of it's members The
Princess of Wales in a sea green satin and train
OF portentous length, is accompanied by hel
three charming little daughters, and by the
tony Prince George of Wales. Next comes his
colossal majesty, the king of the Belgians,
looking as good natured as he is large, and
smiling affably to several acquaintances whom
ne recognizes in the aisles. The queen of the
Belglans wears train of velvet lined with
ermine.
The procession is closed with the yeomen of
the guard and gentlemen at arms, and while it
moves Handels March from Hercules is played.
For some ten minutes after silence reigned, the
cautious yeoman resumes his hold upon the
lock, and at gentle wave FROM the Lord Cham
berlaln, the silver clarion of the trumpeters
rings out. Once more the portals are flung
open and the royal procession appears in sight,

his shoulders covered with wedding favors
of white satin. They are immediately
preceding her majesty, not precisely walking
backward, but wheeling ever and anon at a
half turn in remarkably nimble manner.
The lord steward escorted on the other side the
greatest parsonage Of the procession, the
stately heroine, but scarcely so sorrowful as of
y"re, arrayed in raven black and with length

honor IN scarlet and white, wearing broad blue

the diamond George and a number of other
decorations, with long veil of white gauze

VICTORIA, QUEEN OF ENGLAND,
and empress of India. The Princess Beatrice
and little Albert Victor, of Wales, closely fol-
lowed her majesty, after whom came a crowd
of great officers of the household, master of
buck hounds and gold stick and the venerable
Viscount Templeton. As the procession enters
the choir the March from Athalie is played on
the organ. The queen is conducted to the
loot stool OF crimson and gold placed for her
on the dals. She does not however, take her
seat for time, but remains standing receiving
with austere dignity the deep obeisances of the
princes and mobiles near.
Scarcely five minutes elapsed between the ar
rival of the queens procession and repetition
OF the ceremonial at the west door announcing
the advent of the
CoRTEGE OF THE BRIDEGROOM.
This was comparatively short. Two comp
trollers of the household of Prince Leopold,
who is unfortunate in having been taken ill at
Darmstadt and unable to be present, enter, fol-
lowed by the Duke of Connaught IN full

and Duke of Edinburgh. Sir George Elders
march composed on the occasion of the marriage
of the Prince Of Wales, entitled ''Albert Ed
ward,' is played as the princes pass up the
nave. The bridegroom is conducted to tn,
on the right of haut pas before the
altar. For the fourth and last time the cere-
monlal at the west door is repeated, the yeo-
men and gentlemen-at-arms closing before it
and crossing their partisans as though to guard
some specially precious object. Once more the
clangor of silver trumpets is heard and wide
yawn the doors. The ubiquitous lord cham
berlin bows low to welcome the procession of
the bride. Two masters of ceremonies, ap-
parently impressed with the
soLEMNrTY OF THE SITUATION,
follow the heralds. Then come the members
of the German embassy in diplomatic uni
forms, covered with stars and ribbons, and
then the German ambassador, counts and min
listers, beaming and supremely happy. The
vice chamberlain, Viscount Darlington, clev-
erly emulating the dexterous half turn peram-
bulations of his Chief Immediately precedes
the bride. She is
PRETTY, GRACEFUL AND TREMBLING.
Her simple girlish lineaments reminded Spec

pictures of Little Swans Down, arrayed in

as the queen is particularly anxious the bride
should be called looked SO simple, so fresh so
gentle, natural, that the spectators quite for
got to ask whether she wore diamonds or not.
They only saw a simple, natural girl. The
eight bridesmaids, chosen for their beauty as
well as for their excellent positions, followed
the bride, robed in snowy white and wrapped
in soft drapery wells. The bride is
supported by her father, Prince Frederick

by the archbishop of Canterbury, who is sup
posed by etiquette to be assisted by other men,

performed by the archbishop himself. He read
the beautiful excerpts from the litany with
great feeling and impressiveness. After the
benediction the sublime hallelujah chorus
pealed forth from the organ and voices of the
choristers. The coup docil, when the ceremony
