ing trains. glittering jewels, splendid
regalia and brilliant uniforms.
The Kings Coronation.
The dual character of the ceremony
will distinguish it from that which
marked the coronation Of Queen Vic
toria in 1888. There will be two coro'
nations instead of one, but in its
wealth of ceremonial the browning oil
the King will be as distinct from that
of the Queen as 1t is possible to con-
ceive. The King, for instance, VIII
wear three different habits symbolic
of the sacred and civil character OF his
sovereignty. The royal robe OF Grim
son velvet and ermine in which he Will
enter the abbey is that which he
wears when he opens and closes Far

imnerial mantle or Dalmatic robe OF

a long jacket with pointed sleeves oil
yellow cloth of gold, woven with green

thistles. It Is edged throughout with
gold lace of half an inch deep ana I'm

no fastenings of any kind. The third

gala. Then the Dalmatic robe Will De

the famous Kohinoor will form the
center ornament.
The coronation service rails into
three divisions. The first Is mainly In
troductory. 1t consists OF the election
of the King by the people, ana the
bath taken by the King to govern 10
the best of his power. When THESE
purely formal preliminaries have been
determined, the main part OF the ser
vice begins. The second division con
tains the important rite OF JUNCTION
round which the whole service re-
wolves. 1t consists of prayers blessing
the King before JUNCTION, and the unc'
ton itself.
Then follows the third division oil
the service, which is the natural con
sequence OF the second, 1t comprises
the delivery of the royal ornaments
and the enthronizatlon.
From a literary point of view 1t can
not be said that the coronation service
attains great excellence. The prayers
are long, rambling compositions, filled
with a wealth of Old Testament illus
tration that would not have disgracet
one of SCOTS covenanters, interspers
ed with truculent illusions to heretics
And the dread of violence and inJus
tice on the part Of the King is yer,
evident.
The Act Of Recognition.
AS the imposing procession makes
its way to the chancel, watched by rep
resentatives of every part Of the EN-
pire and of the world, the choir will
sing, 81 Was Glad When They Said I'm
to Me-" psalm that has been, for SOM
reason unknown, sung at every core
