Use to make the week memorable.
From today the special ambassadors.
ENJOYS and princes invited to join in
the festivities become the guests OF
the king. Throughout the day num-
bers of royal personages have been
arriving from the continent. They
were met at the railroad stations by
royal carriages and guards of honor,
and were escorted to the official resi-
dences assigned to them. Conse-
~quently, plenty of entertainment was
provided for the crowds of s~ightseers
filling the streets. A big throng took
the opportunity of greeting the king
and queen on their entry into the cap
ital and semi-state progress to Buck
ingham palace. Accompanied by
Prince and Princess Charles of Den
mark, their majesties reached Pad
I.ngton at 1890 p. N. and proceeded
in semi-state landaus, drawn by four
horses with positions, preceded by
outriders and attended by an escort of
the royal dragon guards, along the
route usually followed by the late
Queen Victoria. The thoroughfares
were thickly lined with people and
the enthusiasm of the spectators
evinced their delight at the ocular
proof of the recovery of the king from
his recent ~indisposition.
Rigorous police protection was in
stalled at the railway stations and the
royal train was everywhere greeted
with cheers. The king lost no time
in alighting, and after chatting with
| the railroad officials entered a car

health. He walked perhaps some
what heavily. but showed few symp-
| toms OF MS recent illness.

ham palace shortly before 1 O'Clock.

come from the thousands of people
who co~ngregated in the venue lead

them throughout the entire route from

extra equerry of his majesty, who is
in special attendance on Mr.. Reid.

tendance at the crowded function.
