VICTORIA LAID BY HER HUSBANDS
a SIDE.
Final Ceremonies of . More Pathet-
ic Character Than Any Of the OBJ
Royalty and. the World Pay Their
Last Tribute to . Good Woman
None but the Family and Serv-
ants Admitted to the Final Cere
monies.

Windsor, Feb. 6. - The last honors
have been paid to Queen Victoria. Her
body now rests peacefully beside that
of her husband in the mausoleum at
Frogmore. The final ceremonies were
more of a pathetic character than any
of the obsequies which preceded them.
Shortly before 3 o'clock in the pres
ence of the royal mourners. the Grena-
der guard of honor lifted the coffin
from its temporary resting place In the
Albert memorial chapel and placed 1t
on a u carriage. Slowly the cortege
proceeded to the mausoleum. In place
on the u carriage was h same re-
gala which attracted the attention of
thousands since the march to the
grave began at Osborne. Close behind
walked the king, Emperor William and
h duke Of Connaught, wearing dark
military Overcoats and plumed cooked
hats and looking pale and In
similar dull attire were the kings Of
Portugal and Belgium. All heads were
bent. The blue and gray of the Ger
man princes redeemed the royal group
from perfect
SOmberness of Color.
Beside these walked Queen Alexandra
and the princesses deeply yelled. The
real of the procession was brought up
by the suites of the kings and princes,
their ~vari-colored o~vercoats forming a
striking patch of color. Down the
long walk, with the band still playing
Chopin's dirge, this quiet throng slow
ly made its way to the mausoleum. By
$3.50 p. m. the crowned bier had passed
into the old lodge which leads from
Frogmore Enclosure, where non but
the family and servants were admitted.
The choir met them and the royal fam
lily and they entered the burial place
SO ear to the late queen and ranged
themselves on each side of the coffin.
The bishop Of Winchester read the
larger part Of the burial service. After
further singing by the choir the bene-
dition was given and amidst the
privacy of the family tomb the last
farewell was sent, the funeral came to
an end, the mourners drove to the
castle and the crowd dispersed.
