LONDON, June 22.-The queen is now
in London An immense crowd gath
cred near Paddington station in the
early hours Of the morning and waited
with stolid patience for the arrival Of

enlivened by the pealing of bells, and in
the morning breeze everywhere floated
the Royal Standard. The first point of
interest in the days proceedings was
Windsor, where by 6 O'Clock the short
route leading to the castle from the
Great Western railway station was lined
by mass of people gathered to see the
queen start. Flags and flowers were
everywhere, and the order Of the day,
'tGod Save the Queen appeared on
houses and banners without end. The
statue of the queen near the castle was
decorated and gorgeously canopied in
the Renaissance style, and tall Venetian
masts with their fluttering pennons,
lined both sides of the route. :
Queen Victoria left Windsor Castle at
noon by the sovereign's entrance, facing
the high Thames streets of Windsor on
her way to the railroad station. Her
majesty s carriage was drawn by a pair
of grays, with postillions and outriders.

est daughter, ex- Empress Frederick of
Germany, and by Princess Christian Of
Schlesweig- Holstein, and Princess
Henry Of Battenberg, who occupied an
other carriage, preceding that of her
majesty. .|
