First we scrambled up to the top of the
omnibus in hot haste. 1t was well to have
something hot on such a morning. The
instant the great numbering vehicle came
pounding down the street the waiting
crowd attacked it and men and women
burst inside and sat down suddenly and
firmly, painting and GREATNESS but shell
tered on the warm velvet seats. Those
who had too little presence of mind and
too much absence of body to "get there"
climbed on top and choked back violent
language into the depths of their
inadequate coat collars.
And yet the sun shone through the mist,
a faint blur of pinkish yellow, the air was
as sharp as a knife and as fresh as-wel,
it was extremely fresh. Comparisons are
especially odious when you cannot think
of a suitable one. And the sky was actu-
ally blue-a pale, washed-out, irresolute
blue.
Two boys in the seat behind the driver
were discussing with that fat functionary
the possibility of climbing the Nelson
monument In order to see the Lord
Mayors show. Two women in the oppo-
site seat declared nervously that they did
hope Alfred could secure window; they
never conld stand on the street.
The man in the next row expressed his
scorn of such things in stentorian tones.
addressing the world at large and calling
it monkey play and an old woman's tricks
just fit for children and women and idiots
and strangers. He growled like distant
thunder pulling at his moist beard and
splitting every now and then with great
emphasis into the street. He glared at US
so that we felt that our destination was
written in drops of ice upon our guilty
broWs. We tried to look as though we
were not going to the Lord Mayors show,
as though we had not been impatient of
every delay and consumed with the fear
of missing one gorgeous red soldierman or
the vigorous blare Of single brass band.
We belonged to almost all the con-
demned classes; We were confused into
trying 10 hide our identity-to look as
little as possible like children and women,
and idiots and strangers. The strain
upon our nerves was awful; it was a relief
when he STUN bled over an artless UNI
brelia and went down the steps like the
funny man in a regular old-fashioned
melodrama. Only he seemed to be lacking
in any sense of humor.
His descent and disappearance cheered
our spirits; everything chartered more
openly-our teeth, the windows, and the
women in the front seat
The city was alive with people, and the
flags and banners OF the corporations and
great guilds almost met overhead in the
narrower streets. Around Guild hall,
where the ceremonies were to take place,

sions of old must have been problem to
combat with, how to outshine the actual
everyday Picturesqueness of ordinary cos
tunes. What a sea of color must have
surrounded a similar sixteenth century
pageant.
The crowd was interested chiefly in the
old stagecoach, one which actually car
ried her Majesty's mails between London
and York and which had for its guard a
man who had been on the road twenty
eight years. The passengers were lively,
indeed, butterflies of the fashion of $780,
and were making merry as though they
had long journey before them and had
to beguile the time. In singular con-
trasr to this relic OF old-tim gayety
came the motor-car, the horseless car
rage. which is to take the placs of the
GROWER" the much abused "four-
Wheeler" in the streets OF London. 1t is
even uglier than the ''growler," in spite of
being very shiny and new. If there are
to be no horses, the shape is incomplete
and almost absurd.
/. The crowd hooted at it and derisive re-
marks were distinctly audible.
''Wot about the poor 'ossesl You've
done US bout of a job" they shouted.
made in Germany" yelled flower-girl,
"Hooray for de motto carr" The 'motto
car" seemed to restrain a desire to run
ahead, it painted like thirsty dog, and
once when there was clear space of some
thirty feet it shot ahead. Grease,
greaseln howled the multitude.
At Guildhall the ceremonies were
shorter than the speeches. Minister Bay
ard could hardly be heard for the cheers
that greeted HIM. American popularity
abroad has increased tenfold since the
election. 1t is regarded as the triumph OF
law and order-a triumph in which Eu-
rome was not only "disinterested OBJ
server"
The end of the display was the most in
teresting from the picturesque point OF
view. The whole procession formed its
entire length, filing from east to west past
GuildhaII Yard. The great gold coach
behind eight beautiful horses came lum-
herring in at the last and with loud fam
fare of trumpets the Lord Mayor issued
forth and entered the great hall, passing
between two rows OF members of this
comm ittee, among whom he could dis
tin uish his two sons, wand in hand, IN
covering as he passed.
There were dinners galore and dances
and charity feasts in the East End.
The Lord Mayor evidently acts UPON
his favorite quotation, given laughingly
at the close of his speech:
He who happiness would win must share IL.
Happiness was born twin.

His fierce blue eyes. that had seen the
horrors of Gettysburg and Antietam, were
suddenly suffused with an emotion that
he gloried in even while he quickly called
attention to the fact that the mounted po-
lice were making frantic attempts to clear
a passage from the Strand into Northum-
berland avenue. The crowd at this time
was something almost inhuman. The
mighty square and the surrounding
streets showed an unbroken black mass of
people; the great stone steps OF st. Mar
tin s in the Fields had been turned into
living pyramid. and the sounds that rose
into the crisp, chill dir resem bled nothing
more than those that may be heard
around circus tent when the animals are
about to be fed.
The Lord Mayor, hitherto Alderman
Fauiet-P Philips. is the first Lord Mayor
in office He enjoys an unusual popular
ity, and it was remarked upon by the
daily papers that for many years no civic
display had met with such universal en-
thusiasm.
The procession itself was a curious
and not uninteresting spectacle, the
modern and the ancient splendors being
mingled in rather bewlldering con-
fusion. Patriotic as was the window of

course, England and Her Heroes" three
in number, Waterloo, Trafalgar and
general symbolic car OF Victory. Old
guns, manned by men in the uniforms of
the early part of the century, were fol-
lowed by the latest inventions of those
messengers of death.
In the regular troops there was that
magnificent precision that makes a great
body of men moving as one so form da-
BILE an engine OF destruction. The volun-
teers, however, were far more to the
