anu the word "March" rang out from
the commander of the Dragon Guards
and the procession had started. In the
distance could be heard the sullen
booming of s,ackcncd drums, which
gradually developed into musical

dirgo OF Chopin's funeral march
caught the ear. Every head in the

'or the procession Vas made up of the
bands of tho Household Cavalry the
Volunteers, the Yoomanry, the Foot
Guards. the Infantry of2the Line, the
cavalry, the militia and other arrls OF

attracted attention was a detachment
of sixty shilors OF the new Australian
Navy. Field Marshal Lord Ritcshener
the Earl Marshal, the Dukh OF Nor-
folk, and numerous other military and
civil officers Of highest stardlns were
DISTINGUISHED among the Imarchers. A
position was also found in the first di-

every eye was the royal bier. The i'm,
pressive pail. the gorgeous color OF
the royal standard. the golden and be-.
jewelled symbols of monarchy hushed
all to silence. On either side of the
gun carriage were the officers and
guards Of the Household Cavalry. The
instant the coffin had passed all eyes
turned and gazed upon the chief
mourner-the King. His Majesty rode
with head erect. and displayed great
f-possesson, but his face was pale
and sorrowful. At the right of the
King rode the Kaiser, apparently fully
impressed with his surroundings and
needless of the interest which his APP
pearance was arousing Then followed

and titled persons. such as Is seldom
seen I'm one occasion. and after them
the Queen Mother the Queen, and

the former president OF the United

countenance.
