Marked Contrast With What Was

LONDON, June 2I-What was to have
gene down to history as procession day,

Wanderings in the streets yesterday, either
cleared out TO the country, tempted by the
perfect weather, or else stayed at homc.
Certainly the main thoroughfares could Hot
have been more deserted on any Sunday in
the yc5r. The big hotels, however, were
each an oasis of activity amid the other
wise general stagnation. Many Americans
are preparing to start for the continent

and Princess of Wales this afternoon to
take official leave of their royal highne sses
Mr.. Reid will now close up the special en-
bassy and go to Portsmouth To visit Rear
Admiral aren't S. Crowninshield, command
er-in-chief of the European station, on the
United States flagship Illinois.
Rear Admiral John c. Watson. who was
TO have represented the United States navy
at the coronation, went to Paris yesterday
evening. and Gen. James II. Wilson, the
representative of the United States army
in the special embassy, is to follow him.
Col John Bidd!e, General Wilson's aid,
will return to America.
The presence of the Princess of Wales
and the inclusion of Mrs. Reid in the au
dicnce today was simply a continuation of
that specially friendly attitude which the
British royal family and government have
throughout shown toward the American
mission. King Edward has expressed him
self as greatly pleased with the receipt of
President ROosevelt's message of greeting,
and the members of the government have
missed no opportunity throughout the mis-
sions visit of indicating its appreciation of
the friendly feeling shown by the United
States.
