Up to 4 o'clock this afternoon the occu-
pants of the houses along the route of the
procession had done little in the way of
displaying draperies or other signs OF
mourning.
In Buckingham Palace road. where
crowd of idlers was in front of the entrance
OF the royal stables, taking keen interest
in the constant going and coming of royal
carriages. some shops were tastefully
dreped with purple and black, purple and
white purple and silver. Almost every
store advertised seats TO let. Wherever
few feet of space available stands are
in course of erection. Preparations are
everywhere being made TO cover the stands
with purple cloth. and this will go long
way toward giving the effect of general
mourning.
Stands Being Erected.
Stands are being erected close to St
James palace, which, when filled, will hide
the palace from the mall. Even on the
outbuildings of the palace, on the bal ony
whence King Edwards accession was pro-
claimed and in the gardens of Marlborough
House. similar provisions for spectators are
being made. The sidewalks of st. James
street are almost impossible. Carpenters
ard joiners everywhere building and
snoring up balconies.
The same condition of things prevails In
Piccadilly Seating accommodation are be-
ing prepared in every possible nook. from
Devonshire House to the balcony Of Apsley
House Lamp posts and refugees in the
middle of roadways are being removed.
In Hyde Park. of course, neither decora
ton nor stands are possible. Therefore,
only an occasional glimpse Of a purple
draped balcony in Park lane is obtainable.
In the Edgeware road and thence to Pad
dington are the liveliest scenes of all. The
entire population of the district and sub
urbs seems to have congregated in search
OF accommodation. and trafficking in seats
Is going on in the street. which gives it
the appearance of a busy market. Hardly
house but is being let out and fancy
prices are easily obtanable for seats on
uncomfortable stands and on the smallest
balconies
Cambridge row is lined on both sides with
stands erected in the gardens, and people
eagerly pay f3 "a for seats them
while windows of the houses in the rear Of
the stands,> with trees between them and
the roadway, are considered cheap at $50.
