LONDON. Aug. to.--The festivities IN
London we're continued today. There were
considerable crowds almost all day long In
the vicinity Of Buckingham palace and
along the route Of yesterdays procession
viewing the decorations and watching the
aow Of notable personages to and from the
various Thanksgiving services.
In the evening the Canadian arch. which
is an exceptional novelty for Sunday. was
brilliantly illuminated and was a great
center Of attraction and served TO bring
an immense ooncourse Of people into the
neighborhood. In spite Of the welcome an
nouncement made last night that King I'd
ward had borne the fatigues OF coronation
day we'll. today's bulletin concerning his
health was awaited with a certain degree
Of anxiety. Perhaps this Is the reason that
his majesty's physicians issuSd the bulletin
at the rather unusually early hour OF e:S0
o'clock. Because OF the early hour very few
people we're about when It was posted at
the gates Of the palace. The bulletin ID as
follows:
His majesty bore the strain Of the cor
onatlon ceremony perfectly well and OK
a good night and his condition is in every
way satisfactory. No further bulletin VIII

LAKING.
Goes ont for Drive.
After the posting Of the bulletin there
was still some doubt as to whether his
majesty would drive out today. but the
small crowd that remained at buckingham
palace hopeful to see the sovereign. was
rewarded by the appearance Of the king and
queen. they were accompanied By Princess
Victoria. Prince Charles Of Denmark, Prince
and Princess Henry Of Prussia and tho
crown prince OF Denmark and were at
tended by a large following Of the royal
household.
The procession drove along the Mall and
ST. James palace without receiving any
notable demonstration from the people.
Tickets 70 the chapel royal had been spar-
ingiy granted. The choir boys who took
part in the service IN the chapel were
clad IN quaint Eowns OF crimson and GOLD
lace. The service was very simple, spscial
prayers for the occasion, however, we're
read. The service lasted about one hour
and was brought to a close BY the congre-
cation. still upon It's knees. singing slowly
and softly the irst stanza Of the national
anthem,
An almost identical service to the one
held at the chapel royal OF st. James was
conducted at Marlborough house chapel and
attended by the prince Of Wales and his
family and other royal personaees. An
other oflcial service, attended by william
Court Gully. speaker Of the House Of Com
mons, members Of the house. and the min
listers was held at st. Margarets church.

Service at 81. PauIa.
The most interesting Of all the services
was that held at ST. Pauls. Thia was
essentially a peoples service in gratitude
and thankfulness that the sovereign had
been restored to his health ana It pre-
sented a striking contrast to the SAD serv-
Ice Of supplication held there in June on
the day the coronation should have taken
place.
Today the public were freely admitted
to the cathedral. The lord mayor OF
London and the coronation Of tho city

prolonged service included several Of the
the royal children and large number
Of diplomats. The very eleborate and
musical measures, which were performed
at Westminster abbey yesterday and the
celebration OF holy communion. The SER
mon was preached by the bishop Of London,
Rev. Arthur F. W. ingram. The scene was
especially impressive when AZ the close Of
the services the vast gathering joined in
singing the national anthem
The newspapers today have been rather
ridiculous in some Of their comments upon
the events of yesterday. To read these
papers one would imagine that no one had
ever locked to be in better health than
King Edward. One exception 20 the fore

the masses. and at least on this occasion
It had q good foundation for its descrip-
tion and estimation OF the crowd yesser-

greeting was accorded King Edward ana
Queen Alexis. but says:
