The Flower of the British
Nobility at the Grand
Ball

| LONDON, July ll-Persons who watched
| the imperial and royal progress through
| the city today, say they noticed CLEANS OF
| anxiety In passing the side streets where
the special guards Of cavalry were sta
TONED, but after passing st. Paul's the
anxiety was evidently succeeded by ease
and confidence. The occasional "boOlng''
at the Prince Of Wales by people here and
there in the crowd was as nothing com
pared with the enthusiasm shown in the
waving OF handkerchiefs and showering
OF flowers on the royal party.
At the law courts, where many of the
upper classes reside, the street was car
peted with floral tributes, and generally
along the line the kaiser was even more
Of a target for flowers than British roy
atty. Nothing disturbed the loyalty that
relgned throughout the whole progress,
except one slight incident
Just before reaching Ludgate there
was an alarm Of fire. The engines rushed
into st. Pauls churchyard, breaking
through the lines OF guards, but so skill
fully were the engines managed that
their presence did not spoil the pr jcession
or seriously interfere with the popular
view OF it. However, the driver Of the
carriage containing Sheriff Augustus
Harris tainted and the horses bolted.
plucky man ln the crowd stopped the
horses and Mrs. Harris, In fa,ntlng con
dition from fright, was lifted out and
taken to the residence OF Colonel North.
Restoratives were applied and she re-
yived.

The Prince and Princess Of Wales fol-
lowed and then the other members Of the
royal houses. The kaiser sat on the
mayors right and the kaiserine on his
left. The kaiser started on the return
at 1920, going by way Of the Thames em-
bankment. While the crowd was waiting
to see the returning procession many
lights took place between the police aud
the rougher element, who vented their
impatience In disOrderly conduct.
When the carriage Of the Prince OF
Wales appeared on the return journey the
rougher element was very numerous and
gave the prince, beside whom was seated
the princess, very hostile reception.
The cheers were faint as compared with
the jeers and bOOings. The prince looked
straight ahead az he passed and made no
pretense OF saluting. The crowd warmly

In the procession TO Guild Hall In the
earlier part OF the day the Prince Of
Wales and other members OF the English
royal family preceded the kaiser by fully
an hour In order TO let the kaiser and
kaiserine be the main figures in the sub
sequent progress. The kaiser wore
countless decorations aud responded 10
the huzzahs with a mechanical and very
frequent salute. In the city proper the
crowds were so dense that numerous ac-
cidents occurred, many tainted in the
crush and the ambulance corps was kept
busy.
This evening the kaiser dined with the
Duke OF Cambridge, and at 10 o'clock In
the evening visited In state the grand
ball given In his honor by the queen at
buckingham palace. The attendance at
this event included the flower OF the
British nobility, as well as many distin-
guished cOmmOners. IL was most bril-
liant affair
