progress toward the city shortly after.
noon Saturday in somewhat dull
weather. The rain, however, kept off,
and the temperature was sufficiently
mild to make the day enj able. Out
side Buckingham palace, which natllr-
ally was one of the greatest centers of
attraction, a great crowd had BEEN
waiting for hours, watching the ar
rivals and departures and the forming
up of the procession. The brilliancyl
of the latter was greatly detracted
from by the fact that all the troops
were cloaked. Theonly touch Of color
was from the lance pennants of the
lancers and the brass helmets of the
heavy cavalry. The khaki-painted
guns of the artillery and naval gun Of
