7 ONDON, July HIT was officially
l. stated today that the coronation
OF King Edward will take place
between Aug. s and Aug r. The pro-
posed procession has been abandoned.
II is officially announced that there
will be no royal programme as origi-
nally planned, the day after the rofo-
nation, and there will be no procession
apart from that in which their ma
Jesties will proceed from Buckingham
palace to Westminster abbey and re-
turn.
1t is now considered practically GER
tain. in view of this announcement,
that King Edward win be crowned
Saturday, Aug 9,
The fixing of such an early date for
the coronation is regarded as an addi-
tional guarantee of the confidence the
kings physicians have IN conse-
quence OF his rapid recuperation.
he ka>rt Of ,s-,T,
concerning the coronation of King Ed
ward was issued from the earl mar
shafs office, and is as follows:
The kings medical advisers stated
that his najesty's recovery has been
more speedy and less complicated than
was at first anticipated. His majesty's
excellent constitution has played a
conspicuous part in bringing this
about If the present rate of progress
Is maintained and if no complications
arise, the kings medical advisers are
of the opinion that his majesty would
be able to undergo the fatigue of the
coronation ceremony on a day between
the 9Th and 18th of August The ex-
act date viii shortly be announced.
The professions through London.
which We're to have taken place the
day following the coronation, are can
celIed.
II Is uHuerSloOu EhdI the general out
line of the programme of the process
sion to Westminster abbey, the route
to be followed. etc. will not be
changed, but the pageant will be
shorn OF some of its magniheanee. The
details Of the programme viii be set
tied by the king himself, who will
also decide 10 what extent the actual
ceremony is TO be curtailed so as to
avoid fatigue. The kings physicians
say the ceremony should not exceed
one hour, and this may be managed by
sacrificing the sermon. the litany, etc.
1t is expected that Queen Alexandra
and Sir Francis Laking physician in
ordinary to the king, with his majes-
tvs nurses, win accompany the king
on board the royal yacht Victoria and
Albert. 1t has not yet been decided
whether his majesty viii go TO Ports
mouth by rail or whether the yacht
VIII be brought to Sheerness 10
shorten the route. All the details of
moving his majesty will be kept Sc
cret. Everybody, except officials con-
cerned, will be excluded from the rail
road stations, and every preeaution
VIII be taken TO prevent public dem
onstrations. The royal yacht will
probably be moered off Cowes, Isle of
Wight, until the condition of the
kings health and weather justify a
cruise, when, as on the occasion of
the injury to his knee. the Victoria
and Albert may go to Plymouth and
lay eli the Earl of Mount Edgeeombe's
beautiful estate
