again reached the wi le gate the outriders
formed in company front, halted, and
with riding sticks raised, not in menace
but in homage, TO the honorable body
passing in front of them. waited while
the royal equipage passed out of the gate
and around to the rear entrance of The
stand.
The Queen and her attendant ladies en-
tered the box Immediately to the right of
the center post, and the court disposed
themselves leisurely and with becoming
hauteur in the other three--and the band
played all the time.
By this time the crowd had reached an
excitement the ecstatic pitch of which
nothing but tremendous and prolonged
apI lause could express, and it was so ex-
pressed freely.
The Queens gown was bewitchingly be-
coming. and she looked dream in it,
OF mauve satin, it was covered with a
creamy brussels net dotted with spangles
and cream velvet arabesq les; colored
satin ribbon loops and streamers. lemon
colored gloves, and a hat and parssol to
match, and garbed in it. she was as love-
ly and bewtching yesterday as she was
stunning and majestic the day before.
With cordial bows and friendly smiles
she responded to the suave advances of
friends and acquantances whose glauces
she met; and to the humble scribe who
went TO pay her homage, she expressed
herself as very happy and proud in her
new role.
You make a Queen that we are all
proud to bow down before" quoth the
scribe.
That is very kind of you, responded
her majesty. I'VE are all trying very hard
to make our brief reign glorious success,
and keep our subjects happy and on
friendly terms with us.

The entire court resembled small gar
den of choice flowers. They were gowned
in pink, blue, buff, white and red; wide
leghorn hats trimmed with lace and
flowers were on their heads and each car
ried large cluster of flowers. roses, car
nations, or violets.
They had very merry afternoon among
them selves and with friends who had the
temerity to go to the back of the boxes
for a chat. The prince consort was IN
evidence, not officially but he was on the
grand stand and occasionally he presented
himself at the box to enjoy a few words
with El Reina and the ladies of her
court
Just before the horses were rung up for
the first race the sixty or SO caballeros,
whose fine riding made such a feature in
Tuesdays parade, passed through the
gates, into the grassy enclosure, rode
down the back of the judges box, drew
up in company front and saluted the
party in the royal boxes.
They made most effective appearance
and were rewarded with rounds of ap-
plause, in which the Queen graciously
joined.
The band played at short intervals all
the afternoon. and the races, which were
a great deal shorter than the waits be-
tween, were brilliant while they lasted
and received the breathless interest and
attention from the Queen and her court,
as from the rest of the vast audience.
