guards. As their well known brllllant
uniforms appeared the whispering ran
+ electrically, shes coming. The
guards were soon succeeded by the
escort of British and foreign princes.
Z Many faces were known, recognized
and cheered. This brilliant escort was
composed of the flower of Europe's
/ thrones
Following the princes came the
guard of honor-22 officers of native
Indian cavalry corps, men of fine
4 physique, picturesque uniform and
/ strange faiths. but for these the crowd
had the few eyes. for the commander
in-chief who followed behind them,
none. They could see the queens
horses-it was the queen at last.
A cheer broke forth that seemed to
shake the ground. renewed again and
I again as her majeSty's carriage ap-
( preached. The famous eight Han
overian creams, creamy color with
! long tails, white, cold, almost fish-like,
and pink noses. their names richly
woven with ribbons of royal blue were
passing. Gorgeousiy they looked in
/ their new state harness-saddle cloths
/ OF royal blue velvet with rich fringes
of bullion, the leather worded in
/ morocco and blue morocco beneath
glittering everywhere with the royal
arms. The liveries of the postillions
were in keeping with the harness.
For once since the prince consort's
death the queen permitted the mourn
1 ing band TO be removed from the mems
arms, there was no note of sorrow.
The carriages in which her majesty
/ rode now came abreast. 1t proved TO
/ be a carriage with light running body
built quarter of a century ago and
/ of which her majesty is known to be
very fond. The body was dark claret,
! lined with vermillon, the mouldings
outlined with beads of brass. Besides
/ opposite her majesty rode II. r. H.
Princess Christian.

r. H, the Duke of Cambridge; on the

AT TEMPLE BAR
/ Royal Law Courts, June 22.-11:45 a.
m.-The boundary of the faithful city
has been crossed by her majesty, who
has received the ancient and stately
! homage from her chief magistrate.
The frame in which this picture was
set was picturesque. On one side the
broken gray piles of law courts rose
from portierres of legal luminaries,
most of her majesty's judges, in their
splendid robes, and full-buttoned wigs.
in somber silk and less voluminous
horsehair. and ladies in charming
toilettes, and every window filled with
eager faces.
The lord mayor and the city officials,
on horseback, arrived ten minutes be-
fore the queen was due. and very strik-
ing was their appearance. Sir Phaudel-
Phillips wore the earls robe to which
lord mayors are entitled when crowned
heads visit the city-a cloak of ruby
silk velvet lined with white satin and
ermine. Sheriffs Ritchie and Rogers
wore the sheriffs' velvet court dress,
scarlet gowns and chains.
The very good byes sword known
as Queen Elizabeth's pearl sword, pre-
scented to the corporation by the
maiden queen at the opening of a royal
exchange, A. d. 1870, was carried by
the lord mayor.
On the arrival of the queen the lord
mayor uncovered. Approaching the
carriage of her majesty, his lordship,
with all due obeisance, presented the
hilt of the citys pearl sword, which
was undrawn. This was the ceremony
of dutiful submission. The queen
quietly touched it. thus returning it to
the lord mayor in token that his sub
mission was graciously accepted by
his sovereign.
Her majesty then commanded the
lord mayor and sheriffs to proceed and
the procession moved toward st. Paul's
amid roars and cheers that seemed in
the narrow streets to be echoed and re-
echoed.
IN THE SHADOW OF ST. PAUL's.
ST. Paurs, 1890 p. M, June 22.-The
great bells of St. Pauls broke out in a
happy chorus as the queens carriage
started from Temple Bar. and only
ceased as her majesty's carriage
stopped in front of the steps of the city
cathedral AS the queens procession

With the stopping of the queens car /

the swelling hymn that had risen on

harmonies in one long-drawn, soft +

The service was about to begin.

occasion, was sung. AS the sonorous

the cathedral clergy were heard chant
ing 20, Lord Save the Queen to
which the great choir in wondro6s vol
ume of harmonious sound responded.
And Mercifully Hear Us When We
Call Upon Thee
The bishop of London, in full canoni-
cal robes, read a short collect, after
which, as her majesty sat with bowed
head, the archbishop of Canterbury
announced the benediction. Then
amidst the further ringing of bells the
national anthem was sung and the
queen drove on to other scenes.
At the law courts the queen was met
by the lady mayoress. who presented
her majesty with a basket of flowers.
The flowers were gorgeous orchids. in
silver filagree basket, the handles be-
which was engraved ITO Her Majesty,
Queen Victoria, presented by Helen

In presenting the flowers, Lady
