beyond the ratings warned me to look
back. There. above the gold and crimson
Of the center balcony, the nurses of the
Duchess OF York were seen opening a
window; two Gf her royal highness'
children came out into the sunlight in
plain white frocks with blue sashes Be-
hind them was a slight form, timer still.
AS the eldest heard the cheering he raised
his little arm above his eyes ard sa-
luted. The peoples enthusiasm burst all
bounds. They broke past the policemen,
rushed beneath the horses heads and
clambered to tn. very ratings of the
palace gate. Tbs child seemed to reccg-
nize that something more was required

The queen went back to Windsor yes
terday. Before leaving buckingham
palace she received the two houses Of
parliament, the provincial mayors and a
number of other deputat.ons. Then she
drove into thecity and reviewed 10000
school children who sang the national
. anthem. Taking the train at Padding
ton station she then started back to
Windsor, stopping at Eton to see the
rChool boys, of whom her grandson,
Prince Arthur of Cannouskt, is one. The
Journey to Windsor was another tri-
umphal progress-a repetition of the one
from buckingham palace to Windsor in
1887. but vastly more imposing. Tri-
umphal arches were erected at the
stopping places. In Slough addresses
were rendered to her majesty by several
local official bodies; at Eton by the or
ganiZations Of the colleges. and the
Thames conservancy. the body which con-
trols the river, offered its royal congrat-
ulations at Windsor bridge.
The final episode cf the progress was
at the castle gates, where the addresses
from the Windsor bodies were received.
AS the queens carriage appeared at
the entrance to her home the national
anthem was chanted in welcome by SOC
voices. The days festivities were
brought to an end by an illumination Of
the palace.

President McKirley's letter of congratu-
lation to the queen, says: 1T will be

teem in which the English monarchy

pew's comparison of the jubilee to the
reception given to General Washington
by the American people on his way
from Mount Vernon to New York to as
sumo the position Of first president of the
United States, The Times says: NO

quite to appreciate the significance OF
