Though the ceremony was 5ere1t OF some

way Of spectacular perfection.

scented a constantly changing panorama.

THE CROWDS
Most OF the best positions along the

were furnished with plenty Of diversion
by the marching and countermarching OF

the quickly passing state coaches. pri-

but the Princess OF wares oo"eu oiia
smiled constantly.
It was not until the Kings procession
came that there was any show OF en-
thusiasm. Lord Kitchener, Admiral Sey-
mour and General Gaselee, as they rooe
together. Of course, came in for much
attention, but tney all seemed to look
straight ahead and pay little attention
to the people along the route. LORD hit-
chener, in the respendant full-dress uni
form of a General, also looked unfamiliar
and many persons did not recognize him.
The Indians were undoubtedly the most
picturesque feature of the procession,
while the State coach of the King, drawn
by the Hanoverian horses, whicn
figured In all of the late Queen Nictoria's
professions, seemed much more like
fairyland than usual.
THE ONLY ACCIDENT.
The progress of the royal cortege was
marked by no special incident except
an accident to Lord Pelham Clinton, one
of the oms-in-waiting. 1t was 4

max on the arrival a t the Abbey, where
there was a scene of unparalleled en-

maiesties disappeared into the annex.
The accident to Lord Pelham Clinton
created considerable excitement in the
Mall. In a closed carriage he was pass
ing York Steps when his conveyance col
lided with another royal carriage. going
at high speed in an opposite direction.
