CORONATION OF
King EDWARD

talking to the Duke Of Sparta that he
seemed not to notice the crowd. The
Prince of Wales also seemed indiffer-
ent and stolid, but the Princess of
Wales bowed and smiled cons tantly.
1t was not till the kings procession
came that there was any show of en-
thusiasm. Lord Kitchener, Admiral
Seymour and General Gaseleee. as they
rode together, of course came in for
much attention, but they all seemed to
look straight ahead and pay little at
tention to the people along the route
Lord Kitchener, in the resplendent full
dress uniform of a general, also looked
unfamiliar, and many persons did not
recognize him.
The Indians were undoubtedly the
most picturesque feature Of the process
sion. The state coach of the king was
drawn by the fat Hanoverian horses
which figured in all of the late Queen
Victoria's professions.
The progress Of the royal procession
was marked by no special incident,
with the exception of an accident to
Lord Edward Pelham Clinton, one of
the grooms in waiting. The march
reached it's climax on the arrival at the
Abbey, where there was scene of un-
paralleled enthusiasm, which did not
cease until their majesties disappeared
in the annex.
The accident to Lord Pelham Clinton
created considerable excitement in the
Mall. The groom in waiting, in a
closed carriage, was passing York
Steps when his conveyance collided
with another royal carriage going at
high speed in an opposite direction.
The horses fell, and there appeared to
be serious trouble. The police extri-
Gated the teams with some difficulty,
, and Lord Pelham Clinton, who was
only slightly hurt, proceeded.

First-The Grand Duke of MecklinburG-
Strelitz, Princess Alice of Albany. the
