THE QUEENS JUBILEE.
Gorgeous Pageant and Immense
CrOwds-NO Disturbances and
Everybody Cheering-The
Queens Message to
the People.

| London, June 22.-The last stroke of II
had not died away on the midnight air,
when from hundreds of metropolitan
steeples tumultuous peal bells announced
the diamond jubilee day. Vast crowds
that filled miles of streets and squares
answered with ringing cheers and here
and there singing "God save the Queen"
Crowds peopled the streets and squares
all night in the hope of obtaining good
view of the procession today. A clear
startlit sky and cool air kept the spirits
of the crowd at topmost point throughout
the vigil.
The decoration for her aajesty's jubi-
! lee has been universal and without stint.
The procession was practically in three
sections as far as st. Paul though the two
last sections en- route to the cathedral
were consolidated as they moved into
Piccadily.
The first to take position was the colo
nial procession, which formed on the
emhankment and moved by the palace,
where her majesty reviewed it from a
window over route to st. Pauls. The
march began at S:45 a. m.
The second procession was military.
It passed the palace so minutes after the
colonial procession. 1t more than magni-
fcently com pleted the carnival of gorgeous
costume and colors. T he empire had passed
! in review and the head of it all was now to
come, her majesty; the royal procession
proper was interviewer with crowds OF
dignitaries.
Cheers broke forth that seemed TO shake
the ground, renewed again and again as
her maiesty's carriage approached. On
the arrival of the queen at the royal law
courts, the lord mayer uncovered and
approaching the carriage of her majesty,
his lordship, with all due obeisance, pre-
sented the hilt of the oity's pearl sword
which was undrawn. This was the cere-
mony of dutiful submission. The queen
quietly touched and thus returning it to
the lord mayor in token of his submission
which was graciously accepted. Her
majesty then commanded the lord mayor
and sheriffs to proceed and the process
sion moved toward St. Pauls, amid the
roars and cheers that seemed in the mar
row streets to be echoed and reechoed.
st. Pauls, 1890 p. m.--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 ma
jesty's carriage stopped in front OF the
steps of the city cathedral. AS the queens
procession arrived the carriages contain
ing the ENJOYS and princesses drew up In
line on the ordinary roadway on the right,
so as IT, face the cathedral.
The escort of 80 princes turned to the
left on reaching the church yard and then
to the right across the front edifice, drawn
up in open order between the statue OF
the queen and the cathedral steps. Her
maiesty's carriage then came between,
hating opposite the platform, upon which
awaiting her, were the Archbishop of Gan
terbury, the Lord Bishop of London
Bishops Marlborough and Sapney, the
Very Reverend Gregory and the clergy o
st. Paurs. Amongst surrounding aigni
taries were the leading representatives O.
all professed faiths in England. With thu
stopping of the queens carriage the pic
ture was complete, aud the swelling hymn
that rose on the summer air from the five
ohoristers of her majesty's chapel royal
Westminster Abbey and st. Pauls, ceaset
its grand harmonies in one long drawn
soft "amen."
The to deum by Mr.. Martin, the organ
ist of St. Pauls, composed especially fo
the occasion, was sung, and the olerg,
chanted 20 Lord save the queen"
The bishop of London, in full canonioa
robes, read short collect, after which, a
her majesty sat with bowed head, tn
Archbishop of Canterbury announced tn
benedlction.
Then amidst the further ringing o
bells the national anthem was sung an
the queen drove on to other scenes.
Az her majesty entered the palace
distant gun in Hyde park announced tina
/. the procession was over. The sound
bells was answered by the cheering Q
loyal subjects. The queen reached tn
palace on the return at 1:45 p. m. Sh
was very much pleased and smiling, an
not overfatigued. The queen sent tn
following message to the British cole
nies and to India:
"From my heart thank my believe
people. May God bless them"
