London. Oct 25.-King Edward and
Queen Alexandra started on the royaI
progress toward the city shortly after
noon today In somewhat dull weather.
The rain, however, kept off and the
/ temperature was sufficiently mild to
make the day enjoyable. Outside Buck.
ingham palace a great crowd had been
waiting for hours, watching the ar
rivals and departures and the forming
w of the procession. The brilliancy OF
the latter was greatly detracted from
! by the fact that all the troops were
Cloaked. The only touch OF color was
| from the lace pennants OF the Lancers
and the brass helmets of the of the
heavy cavalry. The khaki painted guns
of the artillery and naval gun of the
same hue added to the general note OF
somberness. The roofs of houses near
the palace and other points of vantage
giving view of tn picturesque piano.
rama In Green park and the historic
mall were well filled with spectators
whose cheering announced to the less
privileged public the starting OF the
state carriage with their majesties
| The procession formed up outside tho
gate and had already moved of when
the first carriages containing royal
| personages and members of the house
hold emerged therefrom. The veteran
Duke OF Cambridge, who was in q
carriage with Princess Victoria, came
In for slight cheering, but Lord Rob-
erts and his stan passed almost I'M
noticed.
/ There was somewhat tedious inter.
val before the appearance OF theil
maJesties, who drew forth the first rea
cheers of the day as they passed
through the rows of bluejackets from
the first class cruiser Terrible. lining
either side of the main entrance to tht
palace. The King wore n field mar.
shal's uniform with the cloak thrown
back showing his decorations. Tho
Queen had on a straw colred toque and
a fur collarette and cloak. Both the
King and Queen looked extremely vel
and continuously bowed their acknowl.
edgements of the warm welcome eX'
tended to them. The Kings escort Of
the Life Guards, equerries, ETC., wa;
about the only detachment of the pro
cession not wearing cloaks and thes'
troopers made a brilliant display, II
striking contrast with tie general lacl
of color pervading the pageant.
Partly in consequence of the length
of the route there was nowhere a grea
crush of people, with the exception o
open spaces like Trafalgar Square
where the London County Council pre-
scented the King with an address o
welcome, and where the Boer generals
Botha, Delarey and DE Wet were prom
inent among the spectators, and at tn
city boundary. Temple Bar, where tn
Lord Mayor, sheriffs and other cit.
officials welcomed His Majesty and pre-
scented him with the city's sword.
At the Mansion House most OF tn
procession stopped, their majestic
from there being accompanied only b.
the sovereign's escort and the Prime
of Wales, the Duke OF Connaught an
other princes, equerries and aides, /
the Guildhall, where they arrive
without any extraordinary incident.
Owing TO the Kings carriage belnl
