the plans for military funeral had
passed away and the day dawned fine
and cold.
At 0:3O o'clock detachment Of artil-
lery with a gun carriage drew up at the
church gates and the disciplined soldiers
and wel-trained horees stood immoyabe
in the positions assigned to them.
At 1915 o'clock the bell on the church
began tolling, and as the solemn knell
rang out the Prince of Wales and MS
household, accompanied by Sister Vic
toria, who had nursed the Duke until
his death, entered the church. When
all had entered the church and taken
seats, the funeral services were COM
menced.
These were very brief, and upon their
conclusion the coffin was lifted upon
the shoulders of q number OF royal en-
ployes and borne from the church. II
was placed upon the gun carriage,
which was drawn by six horses, and a
procession was formed. The tenantry
on the estate OF the Prince OF Wales
and the members OF his household acted
as pail bearers.
Following directly behind the coffin
came the Prince OF Wales and his SON.
in-law, the Duke of Fife, on foot. Then
came the clergy, and after them came
the troops marching abreast. Follow
ing these came carriages with the
Princess OF Wales and other royal per-
sonages. The rear OF the procession
was brought up by the peasantry.
The route from the church TO the
station OF the Great Eastern railway
was lined with spectators who as the
procession passed fell in the rear. A
guard OF honor from the Norfolk Volun-
teers with guns reversed met the cor
tege at the station. The whole scene
was one of great solemnity.
The route from Windsor Station to
the Castle was lined with guards. Be
hind the soldiers there was an immense
crowd Of people who patiently waited
the coming OF the body and the royal
mourners. Most all OF the people COM
prising the crowd wore mourning to
mark their symprthy with the royal
family. The railway station presented
beautiful appearance, willing hands
having decorated IL with a large number
Of floral wreaths and palms.
At $3.50 the train bearing the remains
came into Windsor station. On 1t were
the Prince and Princess OF Wales, an
other train which arrived Immediately
after the funeral train conveying the
members of the Prince Of Wales house
at Sandringham.
The Lord Chamberlain received the
members of the royal family as they
alighted from the carriage, and they
stood talking together until the coffin
was removed from the funeral car. The
coffin was taken on the shoulders OF
men from the Tenth Hussars. 1t was
enwrapped in a siken union jack, and
on it was q single splendid wreath which
had been sent by the Queen.
A silken ribbon was attached to the
wreath, on which were the words, "A
mark of tenderest affection and love
from devoted, loving and sorrowing
grandmother"
As the detachment OF soldiers bear
ing the coffin walked slowly along the
platform signal was given to a party
of the life guards on the round tower OF
the castle, and Immediately the boom
of minute guns could be heard. At the
same time the roll Of the drum from the
massed bands swelled upon the air, and
the procession began to move.
The life guards had the right OF the
line and were followed by the bands
which played Cbopin's and Beethoven's
funeral marches alternately. Adetach
ment Of the Tenth HusSars and OF the
Horse Artillery Immediately preceded
the gun carriage upon which the re-
mains had been placed. The charger
which had been ridden by the Duke Of
Clarence and Avondale, saddled and
bridled and with the boots OF his owner
reversed in the stirrups was led directly
after the gun carriage.
The mourneIs came next. The Prince
OF Wales, Prince George Of Wales, and
the Duke of Fife led the modrners.
Next came the Duke Of Connaught,
Duke Of Edinburg, Prince Christian,
Prince Henry Of Battenburg, and the
Marquis OF Lorne. Then followed the
Grand Duke Alexis, representing the
Car OF Russia; Prince Albert of Schles-
g-Holstein, the Crown Prince OF Den
mark, the Duke OF Oporto, brother OF
the King OF Portugal; Prince Frederick
Leopold of Prussia, the Duke OF Teck,
between Prince Ernst Of Leiningen and
Prince Edward of Ssxe-Weimar
Then followed the three Princes OF
TeCk, sons of the Duke of Teck, the
Duke Of Wurtemburg, and Prince Philip
Of Saxe-Coburg-Gothe.
The Princess drove from the station
by a private road TO the chapel. The
Prince OF Wales and Prince George OF
Wales were the center of interest. They
bore themselves with gravity, and
neither looked tn the right nor left. All
heads were uncovered during the pas
sage Of the funeral procession. The
cortege passed into the castle, and at 4
o'clock the funeral ceremonies proceed
ed within ST. Gsorge's Chapel.
The Very Rev. Philip Frank Eliot,
D. D., Registrar Of the Order OF the
