1t 1880. Here the immense terminus
had been transformed on the 'up side
into hall Of Respondent crimson, gar
landed with fringe gold; fragrant with
the odors Of countless blossoms, walled
on either side by parterres of people
| The state carriages from Buckingham
palace were at the end Of the covered
way. As soon as the queen had taken
her seat the Life Guards drew up in
front and rear as rear Of cheers pro-
claimed to waiting thousands beyond
that she had arrived.
The passageway to Praed street was
tined by the Eighteenth Middlesex reg
iment, which also provided the guard
of honor. The route to Buckingham
palace was via oxford and Cambridge
terrace, Grand Junction roads and
Edgware road to the Marble Arch,
thence by Hyde park and Constitution
hill.
Voice Of the Multitude Looseued.
Throughout, the route was tenanted
BY an immense assemblage. Every
window had it's occupants, every roof
it's sightseers, every available space in
the street and square, sidewalk and gar
dens, the paths and chairs and even the
trees and ratings of the parks were
black with loyal humanity. The queen
drove slowly to crafty her people. Her
face everywhere loosened the voice of
the multitude. In unrestrained strength
the rich and tumultuous expression Of
loyalty and affection broke forth. VOL
legs Of cheers rose clearly above the
constant roar of acclammation. Hats
were thrown in the air, handkerchiefs
waved in welcome, everyone We'd with
his neighbor in active demonstration of
loyalty and delight.
Through Burtons gate the queen
passed on to the garden entrance of
Buckingham palace, always between
the living lanes of her subjects, always
the object Of endless homage and salvos
Of cheers which continued until the
gates had shut the queen from view.
AZ Buckingham Palace.

:ected Buckingham palace as the most
interesting point to view the proceed
ings, as the gathering Of the ENJOYS and
their suites and the Indian officers in
vited to luncheon, to be afterwards pre-
sented, had already begun at noon, and
many were the speculations relative to
the identity of the officers as they drove
up in royal carriages or smart hasoms
hired for the occasion.
The police were kept busy attending
to fainting women, but the crowds were
in the best Of humor, chatting everyone.
A number Of Americans, armed with
kodaks, had stationed themselves oppo.
site the palace gate, and somebody in
the crowd shouted "Now Yanks, three
cheers for your mother" raising q roar
Of good humored laughter.
A few minutes before o'clock a
hoarse roar of cheering in the distance
announced the approach of the queen.
The cheering grew in strength until it
amounted to a deafening storm as the
sovereign reached the vicinity.
The Queen Looked Pleased.
The queen was dressed in black and
bowed slowly to the right and to the
left, to the greetings of the subjects.
She looked pleased, did not wear specta-
cles and appeared no more tired than
any lady Of her age might be expected
to be. The Empress Frederick, who sat
beside her majesty, was also dressed in
black. Princesses Christian and Batten.
berg sat opposite the queen and the EN-.
press.
The queen, after she entered the pal
ace, proceeded to erprivate apartments
for luncheon, and the royal and other
guests had lunch in the state supper
room. Levee costume was worn and
the suites, who were also in levee dress,
had luncheon in the garden and in the.
vestibule.
