weather OF the past few days changed
yesterday afternoon to a heavy downpour.
which continued throughout the evening,
and which quite spoiled. so far as the
general public was concerned, the specta-
Gle of the kings court.
In spite OF the binding rain, the con-
stant stream OF arriving carriages was
watched by a large crowd which cheered
most Loyalty when their majesties in a
state coach and escorted by officers OF the
Life Guards clattered along the Mall and
passed into the palace, the guard OF honor
giving the royal salute and the band
stationed in the courtyard playing the
national anthem. Their majesties were
bowling all along the route.
Inside the palace nothing so brilliant
has been seen since the early days of
the reign OF the late Queen Victoria.
The blaze OF electric lights. the scent of
flowers heaped along the corridors, the
glitter of ladies' jewels and dresses and
the court uniforms made a memorable
and magnificent scene. King Edwards
private band played in gallery of the
ball room, where the court was held.
