London. June 2S.-The Britons' colos-
sal pageant, n of the greatest the
world has ever seen. has been com
pleted without a contretemps to mar
It's success. 1t was an anxious week
for those In authority. but the whole
scheme for the celebration of the jubi-
lee was largely planned, carefully car
ried out and has been a triumph for
the management and an object lesson
in unity for the hosts of guests. The
latter have seen in the gathering rep
resentatiye c~ontingents frCm all parts
of the empire, who gave a meaning
and a purpose to the procession, gen
orally lacking in similar displays. 1t
Is an open secret hat the prince OF
Wales was among the hardest work
ers. Not a single step of Importance
vas taken without his approval, and
much of the praiseworthy work done
Is due directley to his initiative.
The foreign representatives We're
greatly impressed by the way every
thing was carried out. Unqualified
and generous approval Of the festivi-
ties has been bestowed by the press
and people of all nations and COM
munities. The evident disposition of
the whole world 10 share in the jubilee

satisfaction and added to the general
rejoicing. a pleasant feature of the
week was the Americans complete
success. The United States special
embassy was easily the most promi-
nent and the most honored throughout
the celebrations by all. 1t Is almost
needless TO add that Col. John Hay,
the United States ambassador, is
equally gratiGed. Both he and the
rest of the regular embassy have done
all in their power TO insure Mr.. Reds
success.
