ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 26.-Before
clock this morning large crowds were
assembling in the Newsky prospect to
secure places along the route of the royal
wedding procession. From Anitckoff
palace to the winter palace the avenue
was lined with troops. There was not
an inch to spare along the grand Mars
kaija prospect, and on the square in
front of the winter palace. At 11:15 a.
m. in the distance were heard the strains
of the national anthem, and the multi
tude uncovered in anticipation of the
approach of the bridal party. Soon after
they appeared in an open state carriage
drawn by four white horses. In this
vehicle were the czar and his brother,
Grand Duke Michael. They both wore
uniforms of the Huzzars of the guard,
and were greeted with vociferous burst
of cheering, which was renewed again
and again. The czar's equipage
was proceeded and followed by
detachment of chevaliers and guards, all
in brilliant gala uniforms. Then came
a superb landeau, also drawn by four
white horses, in which was Princess
Alix and the czarina. They received, if
possible, even more hearty popular
greeting than the car himself. Hand
kerchiefs and hats were waved in the
air and the most intense enthusiasm
prevailed. After the carriage of the
princess and czarina followed a long
train of carriages with the royal guests,
including the Prince and Princess of
Wales, Princess Irene of Prussia, Grand
Duchess Sergius and other prominent
members of the imperial families, as
we'll as the wedding guests. Military
bands were stationed at various points
along the route, and each struck up the
national anthem as the cortege appeared.

of the imperial party along the entire
route. The wedding procession entered
the winter palace at I1:15 a. M, where
as soon as possible afterwards were as
