of the morning crowds of people literally
poured towards Buckingham Palace. st.
James Park. the Strand, Fleet street. Lud-
gate Hill and the city generally. in order to
take up some position where they could get
as good a sight of the imperial procession
as il was possible for them to get by grim
determination and good elbow-work. From
the earliest hours. also, in addition TO the
crowds of pedestrians focking city ward,
there were large bodies of regular troops
and volunteers to be met marching towards
the positions they had been assigned 70 oc-
cupy along the route. and besides the sol
diers. there were fully eight thousand
policemen In motion with the same object

red-coats and the blue-coats to keep them
from breaking through the lines formed
from the palace TO GuildhalL

Presently O royal state carriage left
Buckingham Palace, sparkling with gold
ornamentation. and drawn by eight superb
postilhon-ridden horses. fanked by mount
ed Life Guardsmen and mounted police. and
conducted by white bewigeed footmen and
coachmen of immense size. The royal car
riages. upon leaving the palace. passed to-
ward Marlborough gate through the lines
of Grenadier Guards aud police. backed mp
by huge swaying. cheering crowds or peo-
pie.
As the PROCESSION left the palace from
every quarter within and without the city
boundaries peals of bells rang out from the
church steeples and announced joyfully to
the expectant masses that the imperial pa
geant had commenced. Though there were
great crowds at every point. the real densi-
~ of the masses of spectators commenced
at Charing Cross aud about the streets
touching II. Pail Mall. Trafalgar square,.
Whitehall, Northumberland avenue. Cock
spur and Haymarket were packed as far ss

The fronts of the buildings were every where

among all of them were hundreds OF
American flags. These appeared at inter
walls along the line followed by the process
sion. and were specially prominent IN the
strand. in Fleet street and about Ludgate
Hill and Ludgate Circus. At the latter

decoration was made In an array OF tall

AN ADDRESS IN A GOLD cAskET.
The imperial party reached Guildhal ct
