was impressive and was made more
brilliant by the electric light.
BY a great effort the Archbishop of
Canterbury was enabled to conclude
the service, and the King and Queen
repaired to St. Edwards chapel. Mel
Their of their majesties returned to
their thrones after the communion, but
remained at the altar. The service,
which was completed with the singing
of the ''Te Deum," was brought to a
close without a hitch. The King ex-
hibited no outward trace of fatigue.
CHEERS FOR KING AND QUEEN.
While the King and Queen were in
st. Edwards chapel many of the peers
broke ranks and lined up along the APP
proaches to the altar. The younger
members of the nobility, some of them
being scarcely 10 years of age who had
previously been kept in the background,
then Joined their older relatives. Cen
eral Kitchener, with his hands on the
shoulders of a little page, was conspic-
uous among these. The first to APP
pear from the chapel was the Queen.
AS she passed between the ranks all
the mobiles bowed low, the Queen ac-
knowledging their salutations. When
her majesty reached the nave some one
shouted, Three cheers for the Queen!"
and the old abbey rang with cheers as
the Queen slowly passed into the an
mex, men and women rising from their
seats and shouting with as much good
Will as any of the crowds in the streets.
Nearly ten minutes later the King
emerged from the chapel, still wearing
the crown and carrying the scepter and
rod. He smilingly bowed to the peers
and pages. While his majesty was
still near the altar some one in the gall
lery shouted, Three cheers for the
King" There was a feeble shout but
no one took up this unorganized DEM
onstration.
A somewhat awkward pause follow
ed. This, however. was quickly atoned
for. While the King passed the chan
Gel arch those in the body of the abbey
commenced to cheer. The sound grew
in volume and bishops and priests.
peers and peeresses, generals, admirals
and diplomats-the whole vast throng
rose and hurrahed at the top of their
voices. Until the last man in the pro-
cession had disappeared in the annex
the cheering was continued. The King
bowed and smiled, evidently delighted
with his reception, and then the organ
and orchestra played God Save the
King" and the spectators poured out
in desperate and frequently fruitless
search for the carriages.
RETURN TO THE PALACE.
The departure of the King and Queen
from the abbey was signaled by an
other salute, the massed bands playing
God Save the King" The entire route
of their majesties return to the palace
was marked by scenes of enthusiasm
similar to those which greeted their
progress to the abbey the more cir
cuitous route through clubland and
Constitution Hill giving the hundreds
OF thousands of persons occupying the
stands, windows and roofs an oppor-
tunity of greeting the newly crowned
King and his consort before they re-
turned to Buckingham Palace, which
they did in the midst of remarkable
scenes Of enthusiasm, the entire crowd
from Constitution Hill downward join
ing in singing the national anthem.
Shortly after the return of the King
and Queen to the palace II was official
ly announced from there that the King
had borne the ceremony well and that
he had suffered in no way from fatigue,
and this was confirmed when, in re-
Spouse to the repeated plaudits of the
crowds, his majesty, accompanied by
the Queen, appeared on the balcony in
their robes and crowns. The faces of
both were suffused with smiles as they
bowed repeatedly their recognition of
the warmth Of the applause.
PUBLIC GREETS FAVORITES.
If there was one impression that re-
manned stronger than another after
watching the pageant outside the abb
hey it was that there was more splen-
dor, more organization and less really
heartfelt emotion among the crowd
that was the case during the last
reign. Spontaneous applause and nat
