while the procession was exceedingly
spectacular.
rhe successes achieved by amateurs
i'm the great pageants held at Warwick
and Bury st. Edmunds last summer
decided the committee in charge of the
lord mayors parade on an important
experiment She help of amateurs was
invoked, and the spectacular element
was placed in their hands. The pr1n-
cipal spectacle afforded their talents
excellent scope. 1t was q pageant OF
ROYAL Edwards-all the kings who
have borne the name of Edward, be-.
ginning with Edward the Confessor
and ending with Edward vi. Each OF
the Edwards was surrounded by the
most prominent people Of his reign.
Several hundred horsemen were in
line. and similar number Of charac-
ters were represented by men on foot
To complete this spectacle 1t was
closed by q representation, en- an am
bilious scale, Of the present Edward 8
reign. The principal feature was
great harvest thanksgiving car, em-
blematic Of the fact that Britain is at
peace with the world. In the center Of
the car was pretty girl, representing
the figure Of Peace. and female figures
standing at each Of the corners were
) svmbolical of Europe, America, Asia
and Africa.

Coleman, Fore, Moorgate, King Will
lam, Cannon street, st. Pauls Church
& yard, Ludgate Hill and Fleet street, to
the Law Courts, where his Lordship
was received by the Lord Chancellor.
The return was via the Strand,
Northumberland avenue, the Victoria
Embankment and Queen Victoria street
to the Guild hall. The business houses
along the route Of the procession were
elaborately decorated, and it was no.
ticeable that the enthusiasm on the
part Of the multitude was the most
pronounced whenever the forty bands
in line rendered "Rule Britannia" or
the national anthem.
The ceremonies of the day concluded
this evening with the customary bril-
Mant banquet at the Guild hall, at
tended by the cabinet ministers. for
eign ambassadors and many other
guests Of note. The scene in the ban
uuet hail was one of even more than
ordinary brilliance. The huge oaken
rafters were decorated with flags and
bunting, the hall was brilliantly light
ed, showing to the best advantage the
glittering uniforms and the dresses and
Jewels Of the ladies.
Sir John Charles Bell, who will be
the titular ruler Of the city Of London
during the ensuing twelve months, is
63 years old and has already served as
sheriff Of London, which is necessary
before one can become eligible to the

tor Of the Wenlock Brewing Company.
