in sounding and jubilant. yet fully eccle-
siastical form. In a word, the composer
has answered the call made upon hir1
with dignity and distinction. and has
provided a song of praise which IS likely
TO live as tong as the memory OF the
Jubilee exists. At the conclusion OF
the re Deum the Nersicies will be in
toned by the whole body Of canons and
minor canons the choir responding. Here
again music expressly composed py Ut.
Martin will be used. Then the dean ana
choir will intone the Lords Prayer, atter
which. IN all probability, a special co..
lect will be read by the Bishop OF Lon
don. This done, the Archbishop OF can
terbury will pronounce the blessing ana
then the entire assemblage VIII unite III
singing the hymn, "All People mat on
Earth do Dwell" To the strains OF this
final song Of thanksgiving the Queens
procession will slowly leave St Paufs-
AN ORDINARY CARRIAGE.
It has also been decided that the Queen,
instead of riding i'm the memorable state
coach. will 80 about during the jubilee IN
an ordinary open carriage. The Wei

The Royal Processes are to occupy

Koya. carriages, however, and are LOT
persons whom the Royal mind does not
consider in the first class. Speaking u
the carriages. reminds me OF the fact
that though the Queen VIII be the chlel'
she is not the only feature OF the coming
pageant for the number or her relaliNes
and friends who viii be present Is enoF-
nous. Every country with which Eng
Iond holds Diplomatic relations VIII send
n representative. and out OF respect TO
the Queen. that representative must either
be Possessed Of Royal blood or else BE
man Of great prominence and worth. The
Ouecn is related By blood 10 50 many
ROYAL personages, that no one man can
tell who they all are. The Guelpns are
bv no means q delicate family, either IN
point Of physique or numbers, ana the
result is that more persons can claim
blood relationship with Queen victoria
than with any other living monarch.

Little more remains 10 be done IN the
way of plans. Every Briton awaits the
Jubilee with an eagernesS that l. hard

Incidental 10 the interest taken IN the
Jubilee public attention has been turned
Of late 10 the newest photograph OF
soiourn in the Riviera. IL represents
the first lady OF England in that plebelan
vehicle known as a donkey cart, or
rather a donkey phaeton, while at the
rear and the front Of the carriage stand
her two brawny Scotch attendants huge
fellows, whose very physique is sufficient
TO keep all with thoughts OF evil In their
minds at a distance. They also appear
perfectly able 10 take either horse or
vehicle in their arms and walk off with
them in case either proved refractory.
Perhaps the most noteworthy feature
Of the whole Is the fact that Queen Vie
torla is growing palmer and palmer in
her appearance every day. Nature never
endowed her with any remarkable beauty
and she has taken away all she originally
gave. The Queen has anything but
a trim appearance. In fact, she has
grown out of any resemblance 10 an
Englishwoman in her old age. and looks
for all the world like those old persons

truth may not be very digestibe 20 the
