was in military uniform. The King of
Denmark escorted his daughter, the Prin-
cess of Wales. The Princess wore
dress of pure white silk and a tiara of
diamonds. The Marquis of Lorne wore
the dress of Highland chief. the plaid of
which was that of the Campbell clan.
His wife, the Princess Louise, was attired
in heliotrope-colored robe. She had

The bride leaned upon the arm of her
father, and as the procession advanced
the train was carried by her bridesmaids.
Among the notables present were Mr..
and Mrs. Gladstone. They were in their
seats before the royal party appeared in
the chapel. Mr.. Gladstone wore the uni
form of the Brethren of Trinity House,
which included large pair of naval
epaulets. Mrs. Gladstone wore black
robe trimmed with Brussels lace and
black cape studded with diamonds.
At the conclusion of the closing hymn
and prayer the Queen was first to salute
the royal couple, after the Prince and
Princess of Wales and Duke and Duchess
of Teck kissed the bride and congratu-
lated the groom.
The finest display of decorations was ac-
corded to st. James street, the thorough
fare leading to the palace. Venetian
mats were plenty, and many floral arches
covered the roadway.
The west end of the city was illumi-
mated tonight, and everywhere social
festivities are being held in honor of the
marriage. Piccadilly presents most
beautiful appearance, being gaily deco
rated with flags and bunting, and hum
dreds of gas and electric light devices are
displayed.
The streets from Mansion House to
buckingham Palace were thronged at an
early hour, and as the day progressed the
crowds gained in numbers until the
streets were almost impossible 1t is
estimated that over 100000 persons
were on the streets watching the several
professions. The balconies and windows
along the route afforded vantage ground
for sightseers. and in many cases fabu-
lous prices were paid for the privilege of
occupying them.
A large number of people were caught
IN the crush and so badly injured that it
was necessary to remove them to the
hospital.
On their way back to Buckingham
Palace from the Chapel Royal the process
sion was led by the carriage of the Queen.
Her majesty was most enthusiastically
cheered. Following the Queen came the
carriage Of the bride and groom. Shortly
after the royal party entered Bucking-
ham Palace the Queen, Duke of York
and bride, and the Duke and Duchess Of
Teck appeared upon the balcony. As
they stepped out the crowd before them
went wild with enthusiasm. Such cheer
ing and such prolonged expression of
popular approval have seldom ever been
equaled in London. So prolonged was
the ovation that chair was brought to
the balcony and the Queen seated herself.
Her majesty plainly showed the pleasure
she felt at the enthusiasm of the crowd.
At half-past 2 o'clock the royal party
withdrew from the balcony to attend the
dejeuner, after which the bride and
groom left for Sandringham Palace, the
Prince of Wales country residence,
which was reached at s o'clock.
