to take part in the funeral parade of tn,
Prince at Chiselhurst. The soldiers al
wore the insignia of mourning anC
seemed affected by the mournfulness o
the occasion. A large number OF the
inhabitants of Woolwich, Greenwich
and Charlton were present to watch tn,

wearing mourning. The parading col

One troop OF Fifth Royal Irish Lancers,
Riding Establishment of Royal Artil-
lery, mennted band Royal Artillery,
four batteries Royal Horse Artillery,

ammunition, cadets of the Royal Acad-

the column was received by guard of
honor, formed of one company of the
First Battalion, Twenty-third Fusiliers

have so many representatives of royal
families been present as this morn

the coffin, last night, two Sisters OF
Mercy knelt in prayer, while the can
dies ranged about threw tender light
| upon the face of the dead Prince. All

not soon be known. All that is known
is, that when she came from the room
she was calm and all signs of violent
grief, ii there We're any, had disappeared.
