The Loss Was 100000.

tended to Fairfax; thence down Prince to
Union street. The number of houses de-
stroyed, besides back buildings, was about
forty, and the value or the houses and
goods destroyed can hardly have fallen
short of 100000. Some of the property
was insured. but to what extent we have

KING EDWARD VII. IN HIS CORONATION ROBE.

riding from palace to abbey and back again,
but viii pass in state through the principal
arteries and some of the mean streets of the
metropolis, in order that their subjects NAV
see them and cheer them.
1t will be the most memorable I4-mile
drive ever undertaken by royalty. Queen
Victoria did something of the kind on the
occasion of the diamond jubilee in 1897, but
great as this undoubtedly was, it will be ex-
celled by the royal pageant to be carried out
June 26
The reception of the king and queen by the
lord mayor will be suggestive of medieval
times. 1t is one of the ancient privileges of
the city of London to bar, if need be, even
the progress of king into its wealthy do
main. Therefore, when the king and queen
ride in state along the Strand and reach the
law courts, quaint little ceremony will be
gone through with stately solemnity ere the
royal cavalcade proceeds on its way.
At the spot where old Temple Bar used to
stand, but where now an inartistic monu-
ment nicknamed "The Griffin" occupies the
center of the narrow roadway, the lord
mayor, with his mace bearer, his sword
bearer, and all the retinue of the Mansion
house, will await the coming of royalty. 1t
may be that, with proper regard for effect,
a replica of the ancient gates of the city will
shut off Fleet street from the Strand in
much the same way as was done with such
striking effect when the late queen made
her triumphal entry into Dublin a year be-
fore her death. Whether this be so or not,
there will be a demand as to who comes
there on behalf of the representatives of Cog
and Magog and when it is made known that
it is their majesties, then the lord mayor
will ride bareheaded into the royal presence,
and as evidence of loyalty will hand to his
majesty the keys of the city. These, in due
course, will be handed back, and the lord
mayor will then lead the way down Fleet
street, past St. Paul's as far as the Mansion
house, where doubtless he will take leave of
the royal party.
Another interesting ceremony will be the
cutting of the first sod for the Queen Vic
toria memorial to be erected Immediately in
front of Buckingham palace. This will be
done by King Edward in the presence of his
illustrious guests gathered from all parts of
the world. The happy idea of beginning this
great national undertaking at the time Of
the coronation originated with his majesty,
who rightly considers that the presence in
London of so many foreign royalties and
diplomatic personages is an opportunity
that the nations of the world will gladly
seize to pay a tribute to the memory of
Queen Victoria
