In long rows on either side and extend

meanOr of the crowds throughout the
day. While there was the continuous
presence of a multitude of sightseers for
hours. there was neither jostling, nor
confusion. nor noise, except for one IN
fortunate scramble from Westminster
Bridge. Hour after hour there was an
impressive silence, and this became
fairly reverent when the procession was
passing. The lines of the democratic
mourners were formed two hours before
Westminster Hall was opened TO the
masses. and for six hours the march OF
the working people continued without a
sign of disorder or frivolity. The masses
were taking a solemn leave of their be
loved monarch with heavy hearts and a
genuine feeling of national bereavement.
Human Incidents in Procession.
AS King Edward himself was an in
tensely human sovereign, so this solemn
ma geant was enlivened with human in
cidents. King George. as he walked be-
hind the gun carriage with bowed head,
glanced now and again with pride at his
two sons close beside him The young
princes in their turn, while trying to act
up to the dignity Of the scene, could not
restrain their childish curiosity, and
looked UP and down Whitehall for
glin7pses of the decorations and the
mounted guards. Queen Alexandra,
while driving in a closed carriage, bent
forward and bowed right. and left, as
though she were taking leave of her
loyal subjects.
Lords Roberts and Kitchener. a
strangely contrasted pair in size and ap-
pearance, smiled placidly on the as
senbled n1ultitudes, who with difficulty
suppressed a demonstration of hero
worship.
