Nal. where all the clubs were swath-
ed In mourning, up ST. James street
to Piccadilly the procession SLOWLY
made its way. The latter SPOT was
evidently the favorite place for
sightseeing from the point of view of
the public. With every house draped
and every window and balcony
thronged, the sight was as impressive
as 1t was unique. The hill here gave
the best view of the procession all
along the route.
The gorgeous array of the Duke of
Norfolk, wearing the Order of the
Garter, could be plainly seen. The
coffin with its white embroidered pai,
was also clearly visible. On ton of
the coffin rested the royal insignia.
The crown was placed upon cushions
at the head; another cushion at the
foot bore the two orbs, regal and
imperial, while In the middle rested
the royal Sceptre. Close alongside
rode the commanding officer and the
second in command of the sovereigns
and the court. with trumpeters and
standard bearer Every one along the
route uncovered as the procession
came into view.
Behind the standard rode King
George looking worn and sad. He
was In the uniform of "A British gem
eral. The Kaiser. who rode on his
right, wore that of q British field mar
shal. One of the most striking figures
was that of the Grand Duke Michael,
who wore dazzling uniform of white
while the group of monarchs as a
whole presented a moving kaleide-
scope of blue, silver gray and red.
AS the procession approached Hyde
park corner IL was seen that ST.
Georges hospital was packed to the
roof while even the high arch lead
ing to constitution hill was black with
people. The balconies of the houses
in the nelghborhood and the windows
of Apsley house, the residence of the
Duke of Wellington, seemed to be fa-
vorite points of vantage for. specta-
tors Hyde park was again crowded
to the full. The sloping greensward
surmounted by Achilles statue formed
a natural gallery which was thronged
with spectators fifty deep. From the
marble arch two unbroken lines of
people stretched right along to Pad
route stands abounded, most of them
at a high premium, all decorated In
purple.
Paddington station, where the train
was taken for Windsor, was never
designed for ceremonies of this de-
scription. For this reason the prin-
cipal departure platform could not
be used and the royal train was
4, nj 40
rival platform. Every effort had been
made to give the station a BETTING ap-
pearance OF solemnity and even the
wall advertisements were screened
by crimson, purple and white hang
ings.
As the Duke of Norfolk rode down
the platform all rose to their feet |
and uncovered. Immediately after
wards the sounds of Beethoven's fu-
neral march were heard and amid |
those melancholy strains the bier was
taken into the station. The royalties
and all who were to travel to Wind
sor dismounted Immediately on ar
rival at the station and until ready |
to start they stood in group, pre-
senting a dazzling spectacle in their I,
resplendent uniforms.
Many times over did the dead king
use the car in which he was borne to |
Windsor today, on this OCCASION |
however, the sum'ptuous divans and |
the revolving fauteuile had been re-
moved and in their place stood an
imposing catafalque some two feet !
high, equipped with four huge white
leather straps, the whole being
draped in purple ornaments with {
satin rosettes, the interior being up /
holstered with white satin. Broad !
purple stripes divided the white wall
panels of the carriage, crowned at the
