WILL Be HELD.
Coronation CelebratiOn in This
City and Crescent Park.

The celebration OF coronation day IN
Providence and at Crescent Park tomor-
row will take place as originally contem-
plated
The unfavorable news concerning the
condition OF King Edward and the sub
sequent announcement OF the postponement
OF the coronation ceremonies. were re-
ceived with deep regret by the British
people in this city and throughout the
state
Elaborate plans have been perfected
during the past two months for union
tions in Rhode Island in the biggest cele-
braton tomorrow ever undertaken by
them, including a street parade I'm Provi-
dence at $3.50 and a field day at Crescent
Park. where arrangements have been
made for the entertainment OF one OF the
biggest crowds OF the entire season. The
effect OF the unexpected news from Lon
don upon these plans, therefore, at orSc
be came matter for serious consideration
The members OF all the committees hav-
ing the celebration in charge were hastily
summoned to a meeting In providence;
and during somewhat lengthy session
the subject was very thoroughly and
carefully considered In all Its aspects
After the opinions OF all interested had
been obtained, It appeared to be the
unanimous sentiment that the proposed
celebration should not be postponed, but
should be carried out in every detail as
accepted because OF the reported express
sion OF King Edward OF a desire that all
contemplated celebrations outside OF Lon
don should be carried out without any de.
parture from the original plans.
The members OF the main committee In
Providence. meanwhile. had been deluged
with telephone and telegraphic inquiries
from all parts OF the state as TO the
course that would be followed, and inn
mediately after the meeting OF the gen
eral committee messages were sent In
every direction, announcing its decision,
Accordingly. it is expected that the
celebration will be carried out IN every
detail without any diminution OF interest
and. indeed. reports from several locali-
ties Indicate that more men Will be In line
I'm the narade than had been expected.
The line OF march will not be iong. Il Is
the intention OF Chief Marshal Bray 20
start the parade promptly az $3.50. and Il
Is expected that the head OF the line VII
reach the dock OF the Providence. Fa,l
