somebody started singing God Save

people took up the strain. In response
10 this the Princess of Wales and the
Duke and Duchess of York reappeared
on the balcony, which caused more en-
thusiaSm-
For = quarter of an hour the royal
duke remained bareheaded before this
great yelling mass. The people, how
ever, wanted another sight of the

journey from Windsor and the long
ride through the deafening din, exposed

10 the keen east wind, was a trying
experience for any one, yet, in spite of
her great age, the queen apparently
did not suffer any unusual fatigue
The queen visited the city this after
noon, reaching it's confines on the en-
bankment opposite the temple steps at
about o'clock, where she was weleOm-
ed by the lord mayor and corporation
in their robes of state. The lord mayor
presented her majesty with the city's

Accompanying her majesty were the
Princess Christian of SchleSWig -HOl- !

through the great thoroughfares of the

cheer before the constantly bowling
monarch had passed out Of sight.

of Holborn and oxford streets had re-
turned to Buckingham palace. 1t was
q repetition of the jubilee drive, with.
the. exception that it was so hastily
planned that no attempts at decoration |
could be carried out.
But considering the short space OF
time, it was astonishing to see the
number of flags which appeared along
the route of her majesty. Many Amerl-
can flags were displayed by American
concerns. The whole metropolis as
sumed a gala aspect. Thousands OF
people wore red, white and blue badges
and flags, while body of students who
had marched TO meet the queen singing

Buttons and medals of Generals Rob-

increased, red fire was burned yand the |
whole concourse took up God Save the |

strains of Rule Britannia" making the
park ring. This was kept up until ball :

broke up.

had increased shortly before midn5E5f 70 /

later they disappeared and then the queen
herself, accompanied by several ladies,
made her appearance. This was the sig

roar of song and for neVer-t forgotten :
cheers. The blinds of the palace were
drawn, but thousands remained TO sing
and cheer.
